Great idea and useful tips. I’m glad the book includes info on other methods as I’ve always disliked dpns preferring circular or more often magic loop. One thing that is bothersome is some of the photos show trailing bits of yarn or gaps in stitches and just don’t look totally professional. But that’s the beauty of hand knit items.

What a wonderful way to knit!

As someone who prefers to crochet (as I find it usually a lot faster lol ) I have been persuaded by this book to pick up my knitting needles and give this a go.

I am looking forward to trying some of the gorgeous patterns in this book, I would say that this book isn’t overly beginner friendly but is an amazing book for the more advanced knitter.

*a huge thank you to the publisher and net galley for giving me an advanced copy in return for a honey review*

Rin tolles Buch mit vielen Tipps, Beispielen, Fotos um 2 Socken in einem zu stricken, ich finde das Buch sehr gut, allerdings für Anfänger etwas schwierig, da nicht wirklich Schritt für Schritt Anleitungen dabei sind. Man kann die Ideen darin selbst variieren und neue eigene Kreationen umsetzen. Da das Buch noch nicht erschienen ist, hinterlasse ich meine Bewertung nur auf Netgalley.

Having been a follower of Talley’s podcast, I was delighted to read this book. One thing we knitters love to make is socks… well, except all the fiddly bits like heels, toes, and cuffs! Talley’s technique here for knitting one long tube is brilliant, and I definitely will be adopting it in the future. I would pitch this book to advanced beginners, as they should already know the basics of knitting in the round, and quite possibly previous sock knitting experience. The idea of cutting into your knitting can be quite scary, even to those of us with experience!

This book excels in its clear and well-thought-out instructions. The images are beautiful, and everything looks so squishy and cosy. My favourite part was that it was all based on a recipe which could easily be adapted for different yarn weights, different feet sizes all the way from children to adult men! Perfect for the gift knitter who likes to cater for the whole family.

Safiyyah Talley knocked it out of the park!

I like knitting socks, but second sock syndrome is real. I either get tired of the pattern after casting off the first sock, or forget important things like stitch count or needle size for the second one. No more! Yes, there is the 2AAT technique with two socks next to each other on one very long needle, but this is a lot easier. There's only "one" sock to knit -- just place some judicious lifelines, snip them apart, and add the finishing touches. Easy! The author includes plenty of clear images and instructions so detailed, a first-time sock knitter would have no trouble following along.

This 2 socks in 1 technique is great for road trips, knitting on 9" needles, and forgetful people. I especially like that I can knit the legs and feet of my socks, then stick the heels and toes on whenever I feel like it without leaving my needles tied up. It's almost a "set it and forget it" pattern. Just get started, remember where the lifelines go, and turn off your brain. If you're a meditative knitter, this is the sock technique for you.

If anything, I would've liked even more designs or heel types to play with, but a skilled knitter would use this book as a jumping-off point anyway. Most standard cuff-down sock patterns would translate easily to this method, so the possibilities are endless. Highly recommended for all sock knitters of any skill level.

Thanks to NetGalley, the author, and the publisher for providing a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Knit 2 Socks in 1 by Safiyyah Talley is a wonderful change of pace for sock knitters who suffer second sock syndrome like I do! She presents a unique way to knit socks, first knitting a cuff, then a long tube with judiciously place lifelines where you can add the heels, feet and toes of a sock once you have knit the tube. Very clever and convenient way to make sock knitting faster and easier! The book has many pictures explaining her method as well as stitch diagrams to allow you to make different patterned socks as you knit. New and experienced knitters who are looking for ways to improve or enhance their skills will find this book valuable!

Thank you to the author, Storey Publishing, LLC and NetGalley for an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.

This book shows a different way of sock knitting where the bulk of the knitting for both socks is done all in one piece. The way in which the steps are laid out make it very easy to follow each step. This is a great book for someone that has not knit socks before or perhaps wants to try a different method of sock knitting. There are lots of good, clear pictures of the descriptions of each step of the sock knitting process.

The sock patterns provide a wide range of type of socks and skill level.

I would recommend this book for someone new to sock knitting or would like to learn a new method.

I am an avid knitter and socks are a favorite project. Other techniques I have tried to do 2 socks at a time have been fiddly and seem to take even longer to complete. This book is intriguing and has something unique to add to sock knitting! Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC to review. Looking forward to the publication March 1 2022.
Overall the directions seem clear and well written. The charts are simple to follow as well. I particularly like the photos and instructions for lifelines which I never really understood before. What brings the whole process together for me is the reusable Sock Knitter’s Worksheet!
At first glance the customizations seem overwhelming. The specific patterns included definitely help with this. My favorite adaptations are for anklets, baby socks and yoga/dance socks. These type patterns are more difficult to find .
My only concerns have to do with fit. Not sure of comfort of this toe as it looks pointy. The foot measurement extends over such a variety of sizes that it might not suit knitters who like very specific fit .
I often hesitate to buy knitting pattern books ( as opposed to individual patterns) but in this book I like every variation. I plan to make a wardrobe of baby socks for my granddaughter on the way!
The highlight of this book for me is the photography , notably the wonderful “family “ pics! Congratulations Safiyyah on a wonderful book.

Definitely a new approach to knitting socks that I'd never looked into before! The book lays out in a quite easy to follow way; laying out the steps and ways to achieve the desired form of knitting. Would definitely recommend to those looking for a way to get over the dreaded 'second sock' syndrome.

** Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this eARC. All opinions are my own! **

This book is perfect for any knitter, who like me, suffers from Single Sock Syndrome (SSS). I'm always afraid I'll lose the first sock or my second sock will not turn out as the first. Hence I try to work two socks at a time, using magic loop and struggle with two (or more) yarn balls.

Talley shows a truly simple method in this book, which follows the popular "build-your-own-adventure novel" approach, allowing the knitter to be creative while following her 'afterthought method' [my description] for avoiding SSS.

The introduction to the book includes information on yarn weight, needles, sizing, how to get gauge, which notions might be useful, handy DIY tips, and so much more. I really liked that she used a variety of yarns at various price points. This book a good fit for sock knitting newbies as well as advanced knitters.

If you knit socks, YOU NEED THIS! Even a newbie to socks could find this their go to method.

I have always wanted an old, antique sock knitting machine where you just crank out these huge tubes and make socks quick as a bunny. Well Safiyyah Talley has shown us how to do this, but without the machine. Now we can knit tubes for days & put our socks together all at once. Heck, we could just knit tubes all year and put these together when we feel like it!

Through the first 30% of the book she discusses the remedial knitting stuff like yarn weights, fibers, needles, knitting in the round, swatching, blocking (make your own sock blocker!). She expands by showing how to knit socks with every style of needles, double points, circulars, etc. You become one with the method of “Lifelines”. You learn different methods of soles and bind offs. A nice chunk of required sock anatomy education and then the meat of the book begins.

The book provides 7 unique stitches and 22 patterns using her tube method for basic socks, yoga socks, ankle socks, no show socks, calf socks, lace socks, booties, bed socks and more! Patterns included for yarn weights from Fingering to Super Bulky & for everyone from babies to adults.

Before I thought this book couldn’t get any better, there is more! Included are CHARTS for Sizing your Socks, Shoe Size Conversion and Metric Conversions to Convert to Length and Width.

Note: *All of these socks use an afterthought heel.* Not sure what that is? No worries, she shows you.

Special thanks to Storey Publishing, Safiyyah Talley & NetGalley.

The worst part about knitting a pair of socks is that you have to do the whole thing twice, and more often than not, you end up with a basket of single socks because you never bothered to make the second one. This approachable book will help you make both socks at once. There are chapters on knitting basics, with lots of photos and diagrams; and patterns for adult and kid socks. Most call for common yarns, so you also won't have to track down an expensive skein (or two) to make your projects. Good for intermediate or advanced knitters, although a determined beginner could learn from the introduction, too.

I received an ARC of this book to read through NetGalley. All opinions are my own. Knit 2 Socks in 1 ~ Discover the Easy Magic of Turning One Long Sock into a Pair! Choose from 21 Original Designs in All Sizes by Safiyya Talley is one solution to my stumbling block of the single sock. I thought this was a great idea, and while the heel used is not my favourite, I’m sure that other heel types could be adapted into this method. The patterns in the book range from basic to advanced, the instructions and charts are clear and concise, and the photographs are lovely and instructional. I enjoyed being allowed to have a sneak peek at this book and will definitely purchase it for my own use once it’s published.

I have terrible second sock syndrome. Years ago I tried to learn how to knit two at a time in a workshop and also by reading another book, but I am definitely someone who learns more by being shown than written explanation.

Knitting specialty books tend to omit helpful information for new knitters. I loved how she broke down every facet of sock knitting from descriptions to tools to yarn fiber and weight. There's a lot of variety among the patterns, which are easy to follow. This is one of the better sock pattern books I've seen out there.

I'm not new to knitting, but am new to knitting socks. This book had great techniques that I am eager to try!

I was immediately drawn to this book as I love lace socks but often suffer from second sock syndrome, sometimes taking months before the second sock is completed. The author of this book has found a way to combat this by basically knitting a long tube, and placing the heels and cuffs, so you have a pair of socks completed.

The book has great photographs and is perfect for someone starting on their sock journey as it explains in great detail all about the yarn you can use, types of knitting needles and how to estimate the yarn choice for each size.

There is a great variety of patterns which I will come back to time after time, and new heels that I’ve not knit before.

This would make a fabulous present for a new sock knitter or even someone with experience who suffers with second sock syndrome. A fun way to knit socks.

Thank you to the publisher and net galley for giving me an advanced copy, I can’t wait to cast on.

Do you ever get bored with socks because you have to do the same pattern twice? Get excited! Now you can knit 2 socks in 1 with the this fun, easy technique. Saifyyah Talley lays it all out for you starting with descriptions of the different types of yarn and the quantities you'll need of each, sock anatomy, and 7 different patterns with multiple variations to try out this new skill.

I really liked the way the author explained things at the beginning. I have been knitting for 5 years so I consider myself more experienced. However, it was nice to get a refresher. I have never knit socks the way that author described. so I was really excited to read this book and try out this sock knitting method. Knit 2 Socks in 1 is a knitting book that explains a method of knitting 2 socks at once.
The patterns were incredibly informative, and I really liked the pictures. I felt as if they were useful in displaying what you needed to do. There were some things that I had a little harder time understanding, but I think that once I start knitting the socks it will make more sense. I am excited to try out these patterns especially because I have gotten second sock syndrome before.
Knit 2 Socks in 1 is a great resource to have. I would recommend it to those who have some experience knitting and want to try something new!

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book which I received from the publisher through Netgalley. All views expressed are only my honest opinion, a positive review was not required.

I posted my review on Bookbub. I will post on Amazon closer to release date

I'm a beginner knitter, and socks have always appeared daunting. Not so much, after reading Knit 2 Socks in 1. The book is laid out in an easy to follow manner, with good descriptions of yarn weights, tools, and offering alternatives to the standard 4-double-points-in-a-small-space traditional manner of knitting socks.
(As an Australian, I would have liked a chart with international yarn weights. Sure, there are plenty around on the internet if we want to go searching, but it is always handy to have in craft books. Minor point, though.)
The method of knitting 2 socks in 1 looks straightforward enough that even I can follow it. It's a genius method, for those if us who get bored knitting the same item twice, or who like to finish a project relatively quickly.

With well-written, easy to follow directions, clear photographs, and different patterns to try this book is excellent for those of us who have wanted to try knitting socks but have been too scared to try.
