knitted with Ella Rae Classic Print. Mission Falls 136 was used for the DK
weight.

needles for the worsted and Size 6 needles for the DK - Two skeins of either
yarn or at least 250 yards for either. For man’s size you will need to go up at

 "Why another sock book? Because
Candace Eisner Strick has something new to say! Not just a
pattern collection, Strick-ly Socks presents an innovative method of
constructing toes and heels that eliminates the need for short rows, wraps and
yarn-overs. No counting, no grafting, no fuss - with Candace's fresh approach,
your socks will no longer have those "tricky bits" that you put off for a quiet
moment. Comprehensive step-by-step instructions and clear close-up photographs
make these techniques accessible to every knitter with basic skills. Like
Candace herself, Strick-ly Socks has a friendly, casual style that new sock
knitters and sock veterans alike will appreciate and enjoy"-- says Sandi Rosner
a well known teacher and designer.
