Books by Ann Budd

New Directions in Sock Knitting is a smorgasbord of 18 knitted sock patterns from top designers that's a feast for sock knitters. With 18 patterns that go beyond the basics of sock construction to show unique cast on points like the sole, heel, and instep, this book is the first collection of its kind to show socks knit from every which way!

With patterns divided into two sections by top-down and toe-up construction, Sock Knitting Master Class explores techniques, such as cables, twisted stitches, lace, stranded colorwork, entrelac, shadow knitting, and intarsia worked in the round. You'll discover inventive ways to start and end socks, shape heels and toes, and knit soles.

If you can knit and purl, you can knit your very own socks, and veteran sock knitter Ann Budd shows you how in Getting Started Knitting Socks.
