The
title gives you a big clue: this book is about sisterhood,
sharing, crafting, giving, laughing. It’s also
about spinning yarn and making socks—not just any
old yarn or any old socks, but glorious, zany, wildly
colorful yarn for perfect-fitting socks of character.
Dip-dyeing, pour-dyeing, and hand-painting yarns or
wool rovings is as easy as making homemade soup, whether
you use commercial dyes or Kool-Aid®. If you like
starting from scratch, spinning one-of-a-kind yarn is
easier than you think. And the socks—a pair of
well-crafted, perfectly fitting socks is one of life’s
true luxuries. It’s all right here in this book.
The Twisted Sisters Sock Workbook
has it all—the techniques, the patterns, the invaluable
tips—for creating authentic, perfect, made-to-order
footwear. Even socks for new babies or socks with ten
toes. And who are the Twisted Sisters? A hospice nurse,
a post-doc scholar, an organic farmer, an assistant
attorney general for the state of Oregon, a high school
teacher, a finance and operations manager, a touch therapist,
a mom. Your spinning and knitting mentors, your friends.
