Advertised as beinguseful for choosing sock yarn for various garments. However, the sock yarn used is limited and much of it is dyed by the author. Not the best reason for writing a book?

Making Great Projects with Sock Yarn
22 Sep 2012
By Bonnie Brody
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
What a gift this book is. There are so many ways and reasons to use sock yarn for projects, and Carol Sulcoski gives us loads of them. Just think - the majority of sock yarns are washable, fingering weight, pliable and tightly spun. They come in solids, self-patterning, multi-colored and hand-dyed variegated.
The book contains several one-skein projects that are lovely. The Calico Scarf is knitted with a variegated yarn and has a back sewn on. It is colorful and feminine. The Compostela Scarf is also colorful with blending shades making wonderful hues. The Habitude Lace Scarf is good for either gender and is knit in a lace pattern "inspired by men who love holes in their knitting". The Anu Baby Hat is just charming. It would make a great gift.
There are one-skein, two-skein, three-skein and larger projects. I could just go on and on. For those of us who love the feel of knitting with fingering and lace yarn, you are bound to find something you love in this book. The book is worth buying for the Lizalu Blanket pattern alone.
Enjoy!

Educational and inspiring

One of the things that Carol Sulcoski does best is evident in her newest book - she includes educational content beyond simple knitting technique. As an independent dyer she has included content on how to use sock yarn in a way that makes you understand that there are different ways yarn is dyed that affects your finished product. The projects showcase solid, semi-solid, striped or patterning, as well as multi-colored yarns to their best use.
Projects range from super-easy, making this a book for newer knitters who want to try a quick project with sock yarn and who may be afraid of knitting socks. In addition, skilled knitters will find some great colorwork projects to inspire the combination of skeins in their plentiful stashes.

Beautiful and Chock Full of Inspiration
22 Oct 2012
By Joseph R. Wilcox
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Sock Yarn Studio: Hats, Garments, and Other Projects Designed for Sock Yarn has everything I want in a knitting book.
Firstly, it has a great concept. I love working with finer gauge yarns, and like Carol Sulcoski's first knitting book, Knit So Fine, this one explores everything about sock yarns. There's a full introduction to sock yarn and how they are categorized and some of the best uses for each.
Second, the book has great designs. From simple, to moderately complex, the designs are innovative and beautiful. The instructions are clear and concise as well.
Finally, the book provides seemingly unlimited inspiration. Inspiration in ways to use patterning yarns, shaping for knee-high socks, color choices that are beautiful and unexpeceted (there is a stunningly beautiful baby cardigan in beige - showing that pastels aren't the be-all, end-all of colors for baby knits) and ways to exploit the versatility and abundance of a yarn I have explored a lot already in my knitting.
For any knitter, having this book in their library will provide them with a consant source of ideas and designs.
