Whether you’re an avid sock knitter or just casting on your first pair, The Knitter’s Book of Socks by Clara Parkes (the brilliant “yarn-whisperer”) shows you why you should pay attention to your yarn before you knit a single stitch. In an exclusive guest post from the fiber guru herself, Clara explains the pitfalls of socks gone wrong, how to approach new knitting challenges, and why, when it comes to knitting socks, practice doesn’t always make perfect.
