Solefull Socks-Knitting from the Ground Up; Foreword by Cat Bordhi
Betty Salpekar has taken the age-old problem of worn-out sock soles and turned its practical solution into a platform for artistic expression. Her solefull sock architecture bends colorwork, traveling stitches, lace, and even plain stripes into new and fascinating forms. With copious illustrations, clear chart layout diagrams, detailed instructions, and helpful sizing tips, the knitter's only quandary is choosing which pattern to knit first. --JC Briar teacher, author of Charts Made Simple, and creator of Stitch-Maps.comBetty has done something truly remarkable.  She's taken the classic sock form and completely reimagined it.  The result is socks that are beautiful, practical, and ridiculously fun to knit. --Hunter Hammersen author of The Knitter's Curiosity Cabinet seriesWith endless variations on an imaginative theme, these are socks, but not as we know them. Betty Salpekar has knit a a beautiful new chapter in the ongoing story of sock architecture. --Brenda Dayne host of Cast On, a podcast for knittersBetty has done something truly remarkable.  She's taken the classic sock form and completely reimagined it.  The result is socks that are beautiful, practical, and ridiculously fun to knit. --Hunter Hammersen author of The Knitter's Curiosity Cabinet seriesWith endless variations on an imaginative theme, these are socks, but not as we know them.
