Wendy D. Johnson and Socks from the Toe
Up. This approach, made famous by her popular blog

gives a perfect fit. And? No grafting! Wendy provides all the
how-tos, tips, and techniques you need, as well as the pros and
cons behind all of the cast-on, toe, heel, and bind-off options,
gleaned from her years of experience.
With more than 20 fun and beautiful patterns, Socks from the
Toe Up has a sock for every foot. Whether you like bold
textures or hearts and flowers, delicate lace or Bavarian cables,
you (and your feet) will be covered here. Even if you're casting on
your first sock, or have been a top-down sock knitter for ages,
you'll find patterns and projects here that'll keep your needles
humming. Socks from the Toe Up is the hands-down best
guide for toe-up socks.
