I love to knit socks. They are fast and after you get the hang of them they are easy. They are also an excellent way express yourself! No boring socks when I knit. Of course I think of who I am knitting for and try to match their personality, but what you will never see me do is knit a solid pair of socks. I simply can’t do that!
If you want to knit a special pair of socks for someone special… remember, you’re special, too… check out these awesome books available on Amazon (we are an Amazon affiliate).
Also, here is a perfect gift idea for a knitter or crocheter in your life. I’ve done this many times. Purchase a knitting or crocheting book. Then, go through the book and pick one of the projects and buy the supplies needed to make it. If you are giving the book to an experienced knitter or crocheter, you can assume they have the correct needles and hooks. If they are new to the craft make sure to include knitting needles or hooks so they can get right to work!
Below are the direct links to all the books pictured in the showcase. Not a boring book in the bunch đ I’m sure you’ll find one that will “knock your socks off”!
