The Sock Calendar: Socks for All Seasons by Catherine Wingate (2002-11-25) Paperback – November 25, 2002

Description

From the Publisher What a treat to work with Catherine Wingate and see these sock designs unfold. We’ve had fun merging our ideas about what would make a perfect sock pattern calendar for you. Catherine has provided a true variety of socks – there is something for everyone. Each pattern has an interesting stitch or design feature to appeal to the experienced, and yet be easy enough for a beginner to feel confident to try. Besides having great patterns for each month of the year, we hope The Sock Calendar will be your helpful companion at chair-side, or in the knitting bag, for keeping track of important dates, jotting down project notes, inspiring new sock-knitting projects and more. Thank you Catherine for the opportunity to step outside of my usual knitting designer role and publish your designs. Jackie Erickson-Schweitzer Read more From the Author If you’re not a sock-knitter, you are in for a treat and may soon become part of the sock-knitting obsession. I was a confirmed non-sock-knitter until I found out what everyone else knew: Socks are truly fun to knit! Not to mention fast, thus appealing to those who also think that immediate gratification takes too long. Best of all, hand-knitted socks are luxuries and make bedazzling gifts. We hope that The Sock Calendar becomes your favorite journal and that the patterns inspire you to continue sock-knitting. As an aside, I’d like to acknowledge the global cyberknitting community and the amazing knitters who participate, share and encourage us all, among them Jackie Erickson-Schweitzer, whose designs were among the very first sock patterns I bought and knit.

Her informal research on sock heels is published on the internet. It was recently translated and added to a Japanese website at the request of sock-knitters in that country … further testimony to the worldwide appeal of handknitted socks. Jackie Erickson-Schweitzer is the owner of HeartStrings FiberArts, a showcase for her growing roster of original pattern designs. Her interest in the myriad fiber arts extends beyond knitting to include dyeing, spinning and weaving. THE SOCK CALENDAR represents her debut as editor and publisher. Read more See more
