More Super Socks release day!
Oh wow, what an exciting day this is!
My second sock-knitting book, More Super Socks, is released today and I am thrilled to see it finally leave the confines of my computer screen and go out into the world! It’s written to be the next step on from Super Socks and takes you through adding cables, lace, intarsia and colourwork to your socks. Four brand new patterns will help you to practice the techniques that you learn in the book.
You can take a tour of the book and see all the patterns inside here.
What do you think? Would you like a copy? Here’s how you can get one!

💖 Yarndale
I’m going to be at the Yarndale festival at Skipton Auction Mart this weekend and I’ll have copies of the book with me which I will be very happy to sign for you – although be warned that I’ve not got the neatest writing! 🙂
💚 Amazon
You can find the book on Amazon in both paperback and Kindle formats. It should also be available in any country that you can buy from Amazon – you may find more than one listing for it but it’s the same book; I’ve asked Amazon to merge the listings to avoid confusion!
** Amazon doesn’t suit everybody so I am planning to upload it to Barnes & Noble, Nook and Kobo – I just ran out of time before Yarndale 🙂
💛 Local yarn shops and online stores
As of today (Saturday 29 September 2018), there are copies at Black Sheep Wools (you may need to phone the Craft Barn as they may not be online yet) but more copies will be available in local yarn shops and online over the next week or so. If you’re the owner of a yarn shop and would like to stock it, do get in touch, and if you’re a yarn shop customer and would like to see it in your local store, please ask the owner! The book has a UK ISBN number so will also be available for book stores to order.
💙 Win one in the More Super Socks release giveaway!
To celebrate the release of More Super Socks, I’m giving away either a paperback or Kindle version and you can win one by commenting below with the answer to this question: which is your favourite pattern in the book? Remember that you can take a tour of the book here. The giveaway will close on Friday 5 October 2018 and I’ll pick the winner as close to 8pm (GMT) as I can using the random.org generator so that it’s fair.
EDIT: The giveaway is now closed
Thank you so much for all your support! xx
I liked making the Easy Cable socks, but I think my favourites are the Easy Colourwork Socks. I will be making some for my children and grandchildren!
Easy Colourwork Socks 🙂
Love the new book. My favourite pattern is Beatrice.
Do enjoy Yarndale,you have worked so hard towards it!
All the patterns are great and look confidence boosting as we progress to fancier socks.
My favourite is Flow Through though, I need help with intarsia in the round and using up leftovers. Many thanks and I'll definitely be ordering the booking not lucky this time. Emma x
Christine love the cable socks all your sock patterns are easy to follow you are a very smart young lady
Beatrice or drunk in cables! They both look fun & pretty.
Still working my first pair ever through Sockalong.
Oh, I’m first to comment, possibly because of the time difference as I am on holiday.
Super socks and super book. I’m (fairly) new to sock knitting so would really appreciate some help with intarsia and colourwork. You have put so much work into this book and I would love a chance to win a copy. Congratulations
Oh, I forgot to add my favourite pattern. That would be the drunken cable socks!
the rainbow zigzag socks are stunning, so colorful and it really shows of the pattern design too, best of luck with your new book. great work
Wow! Book looks fab. I think the colour work socks are my favourite ones! Especially the cover pair!
Love the easy Colourwork socks! A new knitter, I thought socks waaaaaay beyond me, but the sock along convinced me otherwise. Excited to think of branching out!
The book looks fantastic, and the patterns and really cool. 🙂 The cover star socks are amazing, but I think my favourite is the flow throgut pattern.
Congratulations on the release of your book. I love all the socks but I think the Rainbow Zig-Zag are my favourites. Have a wonderful time at Yarndale, wish I could be there. Maybe next year…
I like the RAINBOW ZIGZAG SOCK. Going to be my next pair when I finish all my Christmas knitting. Or maybe I’ll do them first!!
Thank you for your generosity. I love the Easy Lace socks!
Hi Christine Congratulations on the book release! I do hope you are selling loads at Yarndale!All your patterns look interesting but I'm particularly looking forward to trying out your cable pattern, I feel it's about time I moved on from the basic sock pattern. Good luck with the new book!
I like the simple lines of the easy cable socks.
It’s too hard to choose a favourite! With the festive season approaching I’m looking forward to trying the Easy Colourwork Socks, but I think if I had to pick a favourite it would be the stunning Rainbow Zig-Zag Socks. Congratulations on the book, it looks great!
Congratulations on your second sock knitting book. You have helped so many get started on their fun sock knitting adventures.
My favourite pattern in the book is the Drunken Cable pattern.
Hope Yarndale was a huge success for you.
That's a good fun one to knit, I like that the cables aren't straight – why should they always conform?! 🙂 xx
The colourwork socks are something i'm looking forward to reading about as I would like to learn how to try that.
I hope you had a good Yarndale, met friends old and new and sold lots of books.
I did, thank you! Yarndale was a fab weekend! xx
Hello Christine, congratulations on your brilliant new book!
My favourite pattern is the patchwork sock pattern, because as well as looking terrific, this pattern could be very economical and resource friendly, a great way of using up part balls of sock yarn.
I think the socks would be intriguing to knit and would be greatly admired and make fab gifts for sock lovers!
Thank you! Yes, the Patchwork Socks pattern is perfect for leftovers 🙂 xx
My favorite is "Flow Through" but I like some of the other designs, too.
I'm glad you like that one, I love the way the colours flow! xx
Hope that you enjoyed Yarndale. I tried to comment a couple of days ago but it has not appeared. You converted me to a sock knitter after 60 years. I appreciate all your comments about the ups and downs of life. I love the Rainbow Zig Zag socks.
It's here now 🙂 I love the Rainbow Zig Zag socks too 🙂 xx
I love the look of the easy lace socks, I haven't tried any lacey socks and they look great.
They are very easy – you'll love them! xx
Tried to buy via this site as wanted a signed copy……but sadly the at to basket
would not work so bought from Amazon…………
Thank you for buying it! If you're using an iPhone or iPad there is an issue with PayPal which is why I suggest emailing so that I can send you an invoice. Hopefully Amazon will get it to you very quickly though! xx
Now I can knit your easy socks, the Easy colour work socks are going to be a favourite! Congratulations!
It's hard, all of them are beautiful! But maybe the rainbow zig-zag socks because there is the rainbow :).
Hi Christine, congratulations on your new book being published!
My favourite pattern is the cable pattern, I've never attempted cables before but managed them with your photos and tutorial 😊
I think it would be the Easy Colourwork socks – I would like to try colourwork and to see 'easy' used in the same sentence has to be a bonus! Vicky from Brum
All the socks look great, But BEATRICE steals my heart!
Love the zigzags and looking forward to hearing all about your days at Yarndale.
I love the easy colour work socks.
So difficult to choose a favourite! I've not tried Intarsia, so I'm going to give the patchwork socks a go but I think my favourite is the Beatrice pattern. I can see myself making them in lots of solid colours.
So excited for the easy colourwork 🙂
The rainbow zig zag socks are my favourite, but that all look like patterns that I would love to knit!
I like the patchwork socks. Currently knitting my second ever pair of socks (and on the second sock…no second sock syndrome here!!)
The easy cable for me every time – so warm and cosy and comforting!
Having only just got the hang of contrasting toes and heels my favourite that I think I could attempt is the colour work socks. It's something I've wanted to try for a while but not confident enough to try it. But my favourite pattern to aspire to is the zigzag pattern.
I think the Patchwork socks are my favourite! So beautiful 😍
Oh ,the easy lacy socks for me. If only I cold get past the ribbing without frogging them, just because of a tiny hole. The lacy socks would be a good idea !!!they've got legitimate holes in them 😊
The Rainbow zig zag cover socks!
I love the patchwork socks x
Sorry Christine, but I couldn't decide which pair I liked best, so I've ordered your book from the blog and will just have to knit all of them to decide which I like best! Thank you for another super book xxx
Congratulations on the new book,I love the easy lace socks (hopefully they'll turn out better than the lace baby socks I made…)
I love the Drunken Cables Sock pattern, I made your cable socks and they came out beautiful! Congratulations on your new book, what a wonderful accomplishment, and as always thank you for all of your beautiful patterns, tutorials and advice, I couldn't have done it without you!
Oo the patchwork socks! – though still working on the basics!
I’m torn, they are all so lovely, but I think I would have to go with the easy colourwork one, as it’s something I’ve not tried yet��
I love the patchwork ones … I can definitely see a pair of those in my [quite distant] future …!!
Congratulations on the second book Christine. Super socks got me started on my sock adventure, and the patterns in the new book look fabulous. So hard to choose between them,but I would go for Flow Through as I haven't yet tried an Intarsia sock!
I love them all, but would like to try Flow Through as I haven't made intarsia socks yet!
Rainbow zigzag for starters
Congrat"s on the new book how exciting it must be. I LOVE THE RAINBOW ZIGZAG. so may colour choices to pick from 🙂 good luck to everyone and thank you Christine for this prize opportunity. ( I do have my fingers crossed as Friday is my birthday )
Congrats on your new book … I love the colourwork socks!
It's really not easy to choose, but since I like lace knitting, the Beatrice lace socks would be my first choice. Congratulations on the new book, Christine!
Hard to choose one but I’d start with the rainbow zigzag
Christine, Cogratulations on your new book. My favourite design is the Intarsia socks. It's a lovely design and I love the colours.
I love the easy cable sock! Congratulations on the new book! It looks amazing! (Lisa McCall)
I love the cable sock! I think that's going to be mu next sock project!
Hello Christine, congratulations on your 2nd book, how cool is that!?
I like all the socks in your new book but the ones i would make first are the white socks with pink and purple blocks
��
Colour work was my target to learn this year and so far I have done a Fisherman’s Kep and a toorie. My next project is to be colourwork socks so your book has appeared at just the right time to help with this project. I plan to do the Easy Colourwork socks first before progressing to the Patchwork ones which look amazing!
Congratulations on your second book. I loved your first book. Its what got me started knitting and to learn to make socks.
I love the look of the patchwork socks. I can see my eldest daughter requesting some minecraft creeper colour socks in the foreseeable future lol.
I love the Flow Through socks. It's a way of knitting socks I haven't yet tried, so that's the attraction for me. I'm melindaj on Ravelry.
Congrats on the publishing of your new book. My favourite socks from the book are the Rainbow Zig Zag Socks.
Thank you so much for the chance to win your book. X
Beatrice is my favorite. Loved the first book. Thank you. Diane in USA
I think the Rainbow zigzag is my favourite.
All of the patterns look lovely but my fave is the Easy Lace socks x
I absolutely love the patchwork socks, they just called to me!
Definitely Flow Through are my favourite can’t wait to make these. ��
Beatrice is my favorite pattern Christine in the new book these will be my next ones keep up the good work – Karen
I love the look of the patchwork socks.
Hi, my favourite pattern in your new book is the Rainbow ZigZag socks. Good Luck with new book.
Patchwork socks
I like the look of “patchwork socks”!! Will try when I get the book!
Drunken Cable Socks – I've only ever knit plain vanilla socks so this might inspire me to do something a little more complicated. Your 6-ply and 8-ply sock patterns are my favourites, thank you for sharing them.
I'm also a quilter so my favourite has to be the Patchwork socks!
Congratulations on the new book, I'd love to win this for a friend who is in need of cheering up!
Fantstastic book. Can’t wait. I like all the sock patterns but I would try the Beatrice sock first 💕
The drunken cable socks, why? They look refreshingly different that's why
The patchwork socks are my fave…yet to try intarsia knitting, but I’m sure your explanations will let me breeze through it! Congrats on publishing your second book.
Easy Colourwork Socks!
I love the Patchwork socks…I think my Dr Who loving daughter would really love some. Congrats on the new book.
Rainbow zig zag! ❤️
Rainbow Ziz Zag socks would be my favourite
Book looks great, my favourite pattern is the easy lace socks
Love the Patchwork socks. Thanks for another great book!
I love the look of the easy colour work socks. As a beginner knitter it's something I haven't tried yet, but I think I'd be able to following your great instructions, just like when I knitted my first thing – the sockalong socks.
I'd have to say the zigzag socks – stunning!
Congratulations on your new book, I'm sure this one is going to be a bestseller too! I love them all, but the Cover Stars are my absolute favorites 🙂 The pattern is a great opportunity for using leftover yarns I think.
I'd love to try the patchwork socks x
Just knitting my first pair of socks! ��Think the easy colour work socks would be next on my list!
I was blown away by the Beatrice socks! Apart from the fact that they're pink (I love pink!) I thought they were so beautiful!
I would definitely knit these, in pink of course!
