The Eclectic Sole:

Socks for Adventurous Knitters by Janel Laidman

The Eclectic Sole is a collection of exciting and diverse sock patterns that will delight both new and experienced sock knitters - with a little something for everyone! Styles range from lace to stranded colorwork, to cables with an occasional touch of whimsy. Some socks feature unusual construction, others beautiful graphic elements. One pattern even comes with holes built in (no darning necessary)! Each chapter is beautifully illustrated with pictures of the socks, and an inkling of the inspiration behind the pattern. Detailed yarn information, including color recommendations and WPI information, make it easy to substitute yarns from your own stash so you'll be able to sit down and begin one of these lovely patterns right away.
