I already own her previous sock book so couldn’t wait to get my hands on this one. Another 20 beautiful sock patterns inspired by all four corners of the globe. There are different skill levels required but all have very clear instructions and charts which could be photocopied, enlarged and marked when using if necessary. I think my favourites so far are Hanami cherry blossom socks, the Taj Mahal ones knitted in double knitting yarn, Skyfall and The Eiffel Tower socks named “Under Parisian Skies”. Too many to choose from really. -- Lily Middleton * Customer Review *
