Editorial Review: Product Description: This is the first sock knitting book devoted to teaching the simple mysteries of two-circular-needle-sock-knitting, a vastly more efficient and easier method which is rapidly gaining converts. Eleven original designs, clearly worded instructions, photographs, charts, a section on translating traditional patterns to the two-circular method, and abundant tips and tricks have been put together with great care and a generous sprinkling of humor. The author answers all of those subtle, almost unframeable questions a new sock knitter has, as well as delighting seasoned sock knitters with innovative sock architecture and techniques. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Not worth the money AT ALL!I so looked forward to this book; I had heard it mentioned repeatedly as a good book for working two socks on circulars, and I had been experimenting with that myself, but had some issues I thought the book would resolve. First complaint; the book is printed on thin stock that is not going to hold up. I would consider this a glorified *booklet* as opposed to what I consider a BOOK. Second complaint; the actual text. It is simply AWFUL. Obviously the author assumes you have ... Read More Rating:  - Socks Soar on Two Circular NeedlesWhat a great book...all of Cat Bordhi's books are great. Two circular needles are so much faster than the traditional double pointed needles. A fun book, you would enjoy it. Rating:  - Excellent technique, Terrible Instructions, Boring Sock PatternsTo me, knitting with double-pointed needles is like trying to knit with a pair of porcupines. I was thrilled to learn how to knit socks with two circular needles. It makes knitting socks easier and fun. Unfortunately, this book does a poor job of explaining the technique. There are oceans of text instead of steps, photographs, and helpful headings. For example, I would have divided page 3 into headings such as: "Choosing Your Needles," "Casting on and Joining," "Knitting a Gauge Swatch," ... Read More Rating: - toe up socksThis purchase was a replacement because I totally wore out my first copy. Cat has a wonderful way to do toe up socks or cuff down socks using 2 circular needles which has really increased my speed and productivity. Highly recommended. Rating:  - More Information NeededThis book got me started, but I stumbled with the first join - makes sense but I could not figure how to manipulate the needles to accomplish it - then when I attempted to try some other patterns, especially those using Cat's invisible Cast-on, I could not decipher the instructions for same. There are no illustrations of the method, and illustrations in general are lacking - this book has some nice sock patterms, but (and I am not a knitting novice) more clarification of the methods is needed.
