Cool Socks Warm Feet
Customer Comments
I have purchased your gem of a book, Cool Socks, Warm Feet and I am currently working on Timberline Toes. The Garter Stitch Short Row Heel is absolutely incredible. I hope to master it soon. Could there be a more perfect heel out there in knitting land?

I've only had Lucy's sock videos and her book CSWF so far, but WOW!
Yes, the modified bind off, the provisional cast on, the tubular stuff, garter stitch short row heels and toes, the sock toe chimney for grafting! But I think what I came away with most was her sense of Know Thy Knitting and Yarn. Taking the time to deeply comprehend your methods and materials pays huge dividends in a knitted life. From her, the most important thing I've learned is to have no fear.

I am totally enjoying Cool Socks, Warm Feet:
Here I have found a book that I can trust, from the start of the pattern to the end. In the beginning, surrendering to instruction about something you don't know, is quite an art..
I recently taught myself to knit socks from at least four different patterns, hopping from one to another whenever I did not understand things anymore, but with your Simply Splendid socks I could stick to ONE pattern the whole way through for the first time!
I am wearing two different pairs of socks on my feet these days - one pair made from scratch on a summer holiday (when I just had to knit, after seeing another lady at the campsite knit socks) and one pair made from your book: I feel happy that I can demonstrate my quick progress to myself (and others..).
Your way seems to be - for me - "don't mind your mistakes, learn from them".
Thank you!
