Genius Socks. Knitting with Needles. Encyclopedia-Constructor

Socks are something that absolutely everyone knits, even those who pick up needles once every few months. It’s not just a piece of clothing, it’s a cult, a marker of a knitter’s skill. You’re not considered a knitter until you’ve... made at least one pair of socks. This is not so easy, as socks need to be not just warm and beautiful, but they must fit perfectly on the foot.

The author offers a modular principle, whereby individual parts can be combined in any way you like, potentially over two and a half million combinations! You are guaranteed not to be bored mastering this treasure trove of invaluable knowledge for any passionate knitter!
