That's an awful lot of lovely socks!

What are your views on the Cat Bordhi book? I've had it for ages and haven't done anything from it yet. I've heard mixed reviews.


I like the patterns in the book - apart from the fact that lots of the actual written out for ones are in double stranded sock yarn.

The layout of the book is a bit annoying having to flip backwards and forwards to each section.

  Having been to ravelry and read the threads on problems - most of them seem to be caused by people not using the markers properly or not reading thru all the instructions before doing the socks.
