Better than the first sock book, Oct 22 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Vogue Knitting on the Go! Socks Two (Hardcover)
This book is okay, better than the first sock book.
What I don't like about this entire series is that the print is small, and the charts are in color, usually very dark colors, that are difficult to read even in good light under normal circumstances.
Also, it would be nice if some of the patterns would tell you the multiple, so that you could use the pattern say for a hat brim or mitten cuff. And, it would be better if they had actual size photos of the yarns, so that the book will be more useful years from now.
Finally, any book this new should have had directions for using two circulars instead of double-pointed needles.

Has anybody knitted a pattern from this book?, Nov 9 2003
This review is from: Vogue Knitting on the Go! Socks Two (Hardcover)
I'm wondering if anybody even tested the patterns in this book before printing. How did they knit a 2 colored pattern, knitted in the round, without any specific instructions. Take the Rib and Panel socks (Red Hot chili Peppers), knitted in panels using 2 colors. I admit the pictures are pretty but the instructions are another thing.

Socks Two, better than One, Dec 20 2002
This review is from: Vogue Knitting on the Go! Socks Two (Hardcover)
I have both Socks books and prefer Socks Two. They both have the same basic information regarding sock knitting. However I preffered the patterns they gave in Socks Two and found more that I would actually make.
