Stitch Style Socks

If you're looking for socks that are decidedly not classic looking, Stitch Style Socks is the book for you. The 20 patterns in this book include instructions for legwarmers, slippers and socks, usually with embellishments such as pony beads, sequins or flowers. There's also a great houndstooth pattern and some cute socks with skulls.

Zen of Socks DVD

Sometimes the best way to learn a new technique is to watch someone else do it. The Zen of Socks DVD allows you to watch and work along with an experienced sock knitter as she works through a sock. You can play the DVD over and over until you understand a technique, or watch it once and see your skill level increase.
