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.
