Socks Soar on Two Circular Needles


This was my first book. I wrote it in 2000, and self-published it in 2001. I thought the 2,000 copies I’d printed would sit in my closet until I was a little old lady. Instead, it has now sold over 100,000 copies and has helped change the landscape of sock knitting by introducing another way of knitting small tubes. A few years later, Sara Hauschka introduced her Magic Loop method, using just 1 long circular needle, further changing the landscape of knitting.

By the way, socks really do soar on 2 circular needles.
