All-American Sock Book
Volume 8
Nomis Yarn Company

Buy the digitally restored eBook for $2.49.

IN AMERICA today socks of good quality are available to everyone. It takes only the whirr of giant machines and in minutes the socks come off the production line. But hand-knitted socks bear qualities that can never be duplicated – even by the most highly-developed machines. Socks knitted of fine materials and with great care have a sparkle that immediately labels them as hand-made.

The most significant fact, however, is that not one of the socks in this book is difficult to knit. We have attempted to simplify the directions so that you will have pleasant knitting – and handsome socks.

Baby talk about knitting! "Mommie says that whenever she wants to knit for me she finds just the right thing in Fleisher's Baby Book.

"She says the instructions are so easy to follow that even I'll be able to knit when I grow a little older. I heard her tell Sis that what she likes specially about Fleisher's books is that the instructions are so accurate...it's almost impossible to go wrong.

"She talks about checking with the gauge(whatever that is) so that whatever she makes is just the right size. I heard her say too that inches mean more than years.  I guess by that she means that you can't tell a baby's size by her age - you just have to measure...that is why she is always measuring us and checking with her Fleisher book."
