Book Review

Knitting Knee-Highs by Barb Brown
I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for writing an honest review and posting that review on my blog and on a web book store. I chose this book because I do like to knit and I also like to wear knee high socks. I have never attempted before to knit socks, they just seemed to complex. Reading this book has helped me to dare to try. I think the first pair I will try to knit is the style on page 99, the Counterpane Knee-Highs. I think they are just lovely. She also includes the alternative of making them into stylish little leg warmers. I like her writing style. She writes in a way that makes me feel like I could do it. For example, she challenges me by saying that if I would like to try my hand at a fancy stitch, a sock is a great way to practice the stitch because when all is said and done, even a long knee high sock is still a smaller project than the sleeve of a sweater. Another thing that might hold a person back from knitting socks is the sad reality that socks get holes in them. She has a simple plan for that eventuality as well, but I won’t tell you what it is, you can read it for yourself on page 9.
