Isela Phelps has made a fantastic book again!!

Created: 28/12/09
Ahhh, to knit or not to knit, why is it even a question?

Knitting looms have opened up a whole new world of great knitters out there...

Being able to knit socks has always been a problem for loom knitters... I crochet, and cannot knit due to mild paralysis in my left hand..but with a knitting loom or rake as they are sometimes called, I am free to knit to my heart's content.

Isela has made another leap for the loom knitters everywhere by writing this book on loom knitted socks.

Crocheted socks tend to have lines in the insides that you can feel with your tootsies, but knitted socks is just the way to go...if it wouldn't be then the whole textile industry wouldn't use knitting machines to make all the socks that people buy in stores.

Being able to knit socks on a loom makes it so much easier for someone like me who is a tried and true crocheter and has never been able to master the needles...lol.

This is a wonderfully written book as all her other books are and it also has beautiful pictures and diagrams for great sock patterns.

Anyone who wants to knit, but wants to knit the "easy" way should invest in Isela Phelps's loom knitting books. Their value cannot be measured.
I have dared people to pick out socks that have been needle knitted against ones that have been loom knitted, and they cannot tell the difference. The great part about loom knitting is that once you are good at it, you will make less mistakes than knitting needle knitters and will probably never drop a stitch in your knitting ever.

An Awe inspiring book of many different types of socks!

Thanks again Isela!!!!

I don't care much for this book. Patterns are hard to follow. I have all her other books which are fine except for a few patterns that I have worked did not have assembly directions and I had to personally contact the author to get directions so I could complete my items.
