Back cover: "Sisterhood, sharing, crafting, giving, laughing- that's what this book is about. It's also about spinning yarn and knitting socks. Not just any old yarn or any old socks, but glorious, zany, wildly colorful yarn for perfect-fitting socks of character and personality. Dip-dyeing, pur dyeing, and hand-painting yarns or wool rovings is as easy as making homemade soup, whether you use commercial dyes or Kool-Aide®. If you like starting from scratch, spinning one-of-a-kind yarns is easier than you think.But you don't need to dye or spin to make your own well-crafted perfectly fitted socks-you can simply knit your own pair of life's luxuries.

The Twisted Sister Sock Workbook has it all - techniques, patterns, invaluable tips for creating authentic, perfect made-to-order footwear. Even socks for new babies or socks with ten toes. And who are the twisted sisters? A hospice nurse, post-doc scholar, organic farmer, assistant attorney general for the state of Oregon, high school teacher, finance and operations manager, touch therapist, mom, and more.
