A sock is a work of wonder. No other knitted garment has as many structural demands or endures as much wear and tear. The humble sock must defy gravity, suffer the confines of our shoes, and endure being trampled on all day long. All too often, the root cause of a sock's triumph or failure is the yarn itself. In The Knitter’s Book of Socks, Clara Parkes shows you how to knit socks from yarn up, following the sock yarn life cycle from its foundations to its final moments on a proud foot. By understanding a sock's basic needs—elasticity, strength, and moisture management—you’ll learn how to play with these tools like building blocks, confidently combining fiber, twist, ply, pattern, and clever stitch tricks to construct your perfect pair of socks. To help put these principles into practice, The Knitter’s Book of Socks also offers 20 fresh, original patterns from today’s sock-design luminaries, including Cookie A, Cat Bordhi, Ann Budd, Nancy Bush, Anne Hanson, and Melissa Morgan-Oakes. The socks presented here run the gamut from simple knit-and-purl combinations suitable for beginners to innovative designs with lush colorwork, swirling cables, and delicate lace. Understanding the elements of yarn is the first step on every successful sock knitting journey. With this book as your guide, you’ll learn how to make any sock yarn shine and love every pair of socks you knit.

In outback Australia there is the legend of the Kurdaitcha. The one appointed to bring justice to a wrong done. In one family there is an ancient old Elder who has six grandchildren. This is the story of one of his granddaughters. It is a story of love and death and power. In the Great Rebellion five Archangels fell and were turned into pillars of precious purgatory stone; White Turquoise for the snow and weather; Blood Ruby for all that breaths; Emerald and Jade for the green Earth; Sapphire for the sky and oceans; and greatest of all the Black Opal for the fathomless darkness. These five were locked in eternal sleep. Three keys came to the Black Goths.
