CATHY CARRON Just as she did for hats in HATTITUDE, cowls in COWL GIRLS, and crop tops in SHORT STORY, Cathy Carron takes sock knitting—and all manner of knees-down knits—to a new level of creativity in HAPPY FEET. Longtime sock aficionados will find fresh inspiration, and if you’ve never knitted a pair you’ll be sure to start off on the right foot. The more than 40 designs in these pages include: ■ dots & dashes: simply shaped socks livened up with playful stripes and polka dots. ■ with bells on: flirty and feminine above-the-knee legwarmers with bell cuffs. ■ letter perfect: quick and comfy slippers with embroidered initials. ■ all in the family: a trio of cabled socks for mother, child, and baby. ■ twinkle toes: toe-hugging sandal footies embellished with beading. ■ do the twist: a modern take on tube socks, with spiral ribs and bobbles. These projects and many more will make you and your feet headover-heels happy!
