Book of 70 winning patterns from Knitters Magazine sock contest. Mainly cuff down, very few toe up. However, some cute socks and the instructions are divided into the different sections of the sock with illustrations next to each section of how your stitches should be arranged on dpns (which I don't use).
There was one pattern that said the skill level was Adventurous Knitter (which I am, more by accident than design--but even I didn't want to attempt those socks). My guess is that s...more

Out of the 70 patterns, I'll maybe do 15 or 20, so that isn't too bad. A lot of them can be used as templates for my own stitch patterns, which is always nice, and the more fanciful ones are simply fun to look at (the tiny holiday stockings for a dollhouse done at 1/32 scale!!!). My main complaint was that virtually all of the patterns are written for 4 DPNs, but I can get around it to use the 5 I'm used to. And since many of the patterns are charted, I don't have to do my usual rewrite it in my...more
As the patterns contained in this volume are winners of the contest, they are as varied and difficult as one would expect. I liked the ones for toddlers best.
As good as these designs are, the book from the subsequent contest,
Think Outside the Sox: 50 Winning Patterns from the Knitter's Magazine Contest is much more worthwhile, in my opinion.

lots of interesting little patterns in here, some useful (i.e. beginner's socks, tennis anklet's, etc.) and some fanciful (i.e. tiny socks knit with thread, little fake-socks that are knit with string-licorice)...

I've been after this book for years. I skimmed a copy about 6 months after it came out and loved over half the patterns. My pattern criteria change over time (I'm fickle) but even so, there's enough variation in here to keep me interested in over half the socks.
I have made socks from this book, but there are a lot of hideous crazy looking socks in here too!
A collection of sock patterns designed by readers of Knitter's Magazine.
I haven't actually knit any of the patterns from this book but have pored over the pages many times to admire the clever designs and beautiful patterns. It's on my wish-list *wink wink*
A few patterns to go back and revisit.
Great variety of sock patterns.
lots of sox
