Knit. Sock. Love. and Sock Innovation side by side<\/p><\/div>\n

The physical books:<\/strong> Knit. Sock. Love.<\/em> weighs in at 1 lb 13 oz\u00c2\u00a0compared to Sock Innovation’s<\/em> svelt <\/em>1 lb 1 oz.\u00c2\u00a0The extra weight comes from\u00c2\u00a0one extra inch of height, 32 more pages, and heavier paper.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

The patterns:<\/strong> Sock Innovation<\/em> contained 15 brand new patterns, all charted with one size. Knit. Sock. Love.<\/em> has 19 patterns — 12 previously published and 7 brand new patterns, all charted, many with multiple sizes. The previously published patterns have been re-vamped, re-knitted in\u00c2\u00a0new yarns,\u00c2\u00a0re-photographed, tech edited, test knitted, and have additional sizes where possible. The patterns in Sock<\/em> Innovation<\/em>, with the exception of Kai-Mei, were what I consider column or grid-based, i.e. used a stitch pattern that was repeated around the sock in columns or in a grid. While some of the patterns in Knit. Sock. Love.<\/em> are also column or grid-based, a larger number of them go off the grid.<\/p>\n

Content:<\/strong>\u00c2\u00a0Sock Innovation<\/em> is technique heavy whereas Knit. Sock. Love.<\/em>\u00c2\u00a0is more of a coffee table book that assumes you already love knitting socks. Knit. Sock. Love.<\/em> doesn’t explicitly teach you how to design a sock or other techniques, but if you study the diagrams and charts you’ll learn a lot about sock construction and how pieces can fit together.<\/p>\n

The photography:<\/strong> Both books have clear photographs showing the socks from different angles, but\u00c2\u00a0Knit. Sock. Love.<\/em> also has beautiful photography from Laura Kicey<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0that is just… beautiful.<\/p>\n
