Although none of the sock patterns are particularly unique or exciting the technique is one that makes me excited. Also the way the patterns are written seem so much clearer than many - I like how she separated out each size instructions very clearly (as opposed to the usual method of bracketed numbers which can be easy to loose track of)

I have been knitting the sample socks and the instructions are wonderfully clear! A great book that has helped me level up my knitting!

Not sure that I am capable at this point of making two socks at the same time. I am attempting to make one sock that fits. If that works out, I may revisit this book.
All patterns are cuff down.

I have the first edition of this book and my first complaint is that the pattern shown on the cover isn't included in the patterns in the book. WTH?! I see now that the book has a different cover so perhaps I wasn't the only person ticked off by this HUGE error.
That aside, however, this method intrigues me and after several failed attempts over the past three years I think I may have actually figured it out. Maybe. :) I'm still working on the legs of my first pair so we'll see as time goes by how successful this is. I also hear that those of us "lucky" enough to have the first edition have a great deal of erratta to deal with so I suppose before I get too far I should make sure that pattern I'm working on is written correctly. (I have already found one error in the very beginning where it's showing the reader how to do the technique!). I figure that even if I don't like the 2 at-a-time method i can always just use the patterns in the book and do them one at a time. :)

This is a good book for a knitter with some experience. There are good instructions at the beginning and there are basic sock patterns at the end.

Clear step by step instructions and photos made it easy for me to pick up the technique, with only one foray to YouTube for assistance with picking up stitches for the gusset. I’d never made socks with a heel turn before this book, and now I feel very confident in doing that.
However, the ebook version still has typos, even with the errata listed online. For example, the toe length in some patterns says it’s 3.75 cm or 16 1/2 inches. Um....no. I also found the sock patterns to fit more loosely than what I’d found with other patterns, so I wish she would’ve included what negative ease she’s using.
