Favorite Socks . Another excellent collection put out by Interweave Press, Favorite Socks collects some of the most popular sock patterns from the magazine. There's a bit of something for everyone, and I've already picked out a couple of patterns, and knit the Embossed Leaves. My one complaint, as with many sock patterns is the lack of clear pictures of socks on actual feet. Too many of the patterns have a photograph of the sock on it's own, and as knitters will know, this almost never shows off the pattern to greatest effect. With this exception, the volume will be an excellent addition to any sock knitter's library.
