2 stars (not visually pleasing) - Although some of the patterns were quite lovely--and creative! one pair is knitted using licorice--the book is not lovely. The photographs of people either wearing or holding up socks are distracting, to say the least, and add little. Also, no yarn information is given for the sample versions shown. 5 stars (my favourite knitting book) - I own scores of knitting books, but I always come back to this one. Socks are perfect little projects for breaks between big projects, and great for trying new techniques. There are lots of different techniques in this book: Dutch heels, Turkish (short-row) heels, after-thought heels, cuff-down construction, toe-up construction, two-needle method, two-circular method, machine knitting, sideways-knitted, etc. The list of knitting skills you can try is comprehensive: lace knitting, cables, intarsia, fair isle, mosaic, modular (entrelac, mitred squares), embossed (bobbles, etc.), ribble (reversible cable)... the list goes on. Highly recommended. 3 stars (Some of the patterns have mistakes) - Overall I would have to say that this is a good book and worth buying. I have found mistakes in the Interlac socks, and with the maple twist socks, The maple twist socks, I have tried three times and still have yet to make it look like a proper sock. Everthing is fine until the last 3 sections. The Interlac socks are missing a set of squares after the heel. I have also tried the leafy lacy ones, and the fire like ones and found no mistakes in there. I also have a tendancy of trying to find the hardest pattern and doing it so it could be a me thing. If there were no mistakes in the book I would give it five of five, but the mistakes are nerve wraking for me Jodi ...

5 stars (playstation and exercice) - Dance Revolution is a great game for all ages. Get 2 dance pads to dance side by side with a friend. It's the first playstation game all members of the family agree on. 5 stars (GREAT!) - I like this game ALOT! Pro's: It is a super game that gets you fit and has characters and looks cool and can be folded away easily! Cons: It slips on the carpet. Mummy broke her toe on the hard black thing and it is spelt wrong on the front! I also think Tetris is hard and that you have to press hard to click! 4 stars (Dancing With My Friends.) - The dance pad was very comfortable and easy to use.It looks cooler than the other dance pad that I have. I always use the newer dance pad when I challenge my brother. I like the way it lights up when you step on an arrow. I would recommend the dance pad 2 to all of my friends.I had alot of fun with the newer version this summer. ...
