Are you one of those knitters who's always been amazed by knit socks, but aren't really sure how to knit them the correct shape and size?  I'll admit that knit socks seem scary at first, but really all you need to get started is a good tutorial that's full of handy tips.  That's where Sock Knitting Master Class by Ann Budd comes in.  Inside this gorgeously illustrated book, you'll find 15 brand new patterns from top designers that feature inventive and original designs for socks!  You'll learn all the secrets to creating the most comfortable and form-fitting socks, and will build your skills as you progress through each of the patterns.  You'll know how to select the right heel, the right toe structure and the right yarn type depending on the sock you're hoping to knit.

One of the best parts to Sock Knitting Master Class is its complimentary DVD which features 95 minutes of knitting tutorials from Ann Budd; it's like a personal one-on-one workshop.  On the DVD, Budd unveils all her sock knitting secrets, tips and techniques and shares how she's polished her methods through years of teaching across the United States.
