Summary: Socks Two, better than One
Review: I have both Socks books and prefer Socks Two. They both have the same basic information regarding sock knitting. However I preffered the patterns they gave in Socks Two and found more that I would actually make.

Summary: disappointing
Review: I loved the first Vogue socks knitting book but this one is a disappointment. The socks in it are blah and boring.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Has anybody knitted a pattern from this book?
Review: I'm wondering if anybody even tested the patterns in this book before printing. How did they knit a 2 colored pattern, knitted in the round, without any specific instructions. Take the Rib and Panel socks (Red Hot chili Peppers), knitted in panels using 2 colors. I admit the pictures are pretty but the instructions are another thing.

Summary: Better than the first sock book
Review: These little Vogue on the Go books are so cute. They are quite small in format, fit the knitting bag or purse. They aren't very long, though (96 pages) but the patterns are colorful and wearable.

I prefer this sock book to the other books in the On the Go series because here, size doesn't matter (some of the Vogue sweaters and vests aren't sized up for large people.) Socks, however, can be worked up as-is for adults, or can be easily adapted--you can always lengthen or shorten a sock pattern.

The colors are especially appealing and new. I've been toying with the idea of a mitred square sock for some time, and lo, here is Jaya's mitered square socks, saving me the time to develop my own pattern.

While this isn't a "absolutely must-have" book, it is a welcome addition of pretty sock patterns, the price is right-- worth it for the mitred sock, in my case.
