Thanks a bunch - sounds wonderful! Going to send DD to Harrisville. Anita in NH -------------------------------------------------------------- The book has numerous charts on the order of along the top, Gauge of yarn 5 6 7 8 9 10 Stitches per inch along side socks for child s m l womans s m l mans s m l and at the intersection the number of stitches to cast on. If you have seen Ann Budd's Handy Book of Patterns with all the different gauge and sizes it is like that only different(format) if you get my drift. Then after explaining how to make socks top down or toe up there are a bunch of 4stitch patterns, 5 st patterns, 6 st patterns etc. pick a gauge, pick a size pick a pattern that goes into the number of stitches you are using and go from there. You have to think a bit, because it doesn't say get 2 balls of xyz yarn and 4 size 2 needles, it says get some yarn, and needles, make a swatch, measure gauge, decide what size socks you want to make, plug your numbers in and make socks to suit you.
