    Acknowledgments
    Another sock book wow! Thanks to all of you who embraced Socks la Carte and encouraged us to write the toe-up edition. We are honored by your enthusiasm and encouragement. A special thanks to Sandy Kolher, who has earned her place as an honorary SWTC Girl for knitting around the clock to help us with all of our ideas, and to SWTC Girl Joan Somerville, who was right there with Sandy, working behind the scenes to decode our pattern notes and help us test our new ideas. Thank you for your wonderful contributions to our book and our lives. We value your friendship. We also thank the talented F+W team, along with our friends Amy Polcyn, who tech edited and is another wonderful SWTC Girl extraordinaire, and Rebecca Mercier, who has been sharing sock fun with us for years and once again shared her talent and time with us on this project.

    Lastly, we thank Kristie Naranjo, Denise Wilkinson, Zona Sherman, Caryn Leighton, Heather Nielsen, Jennifer Gillis and Joanne Heidenberger, all of whom contributed to the success of the Socks la Carte series. Their time, talent and guidance made this book fabulous. Our names may be on the cover, but this is truly a team project. Finally, a heartfelt thanks to all of the small yarn stores across America. You have been the foundation of our success at SWTC, and we always want to remind knitters to support you with their loyalty and love.

    Dedication
    To Gianna and Sophia our biggest critics and biggest fans and to all of you who have shared this sock-knitting adventure with us.

    We appreciate you! Introduction After we finished writing Socks la Carte youd think we would - photo 3

    Introduction
    After we finished writing Socks la Carte, you'd think we would switch to knitting hats or something else for a change of pace. Instead, the positive response from knitters around the world (and our own insane addiction) fueled our sock obsession. At one of our book signings, a knitter asked, What if we want toe-up socks? With her usual charm, Jonelle replied with a laugh, Let's just turn the book upside down. After all, that would put the toes first! But it's really not that simple; knitting socks from the toe up is entirely different from the cuff-down method. The idea for Socks la Carte 2 Toes Up! took hold of our creativity, and we were consumed with ideas for toe-up socks. You'll notice that we've made some great improvements to this book.

    We want to thank you all for your wonderful suggestions. Socks la Carte 2 Toes Up! features a new, solid color of TOFUtsies yarn that will make it easier to see the pattern detail. We've also added more information on the cast-on techniques you'll need for knitting socks from the toe up. Another important improvement is to the elastic band that keeps your book closed. Readers suggested the band be moved a little to the left so it would hold the flip page selections in place. What an awesome idea! The band in this book now holds the three parts of your sock in place while you knit.

    Whatever yarn, needles or patterns you choose, remember to relax and enjoy! Knitting is a wonderful, creative and relaxing craft. We hope you enjoy working with Socks la Carte 2, and that it becomes a treasured resource for inspiration and ideas.

    How This Book Works
    Designing a pair of unique socks is easy with Socks la Carte 2. Flip through the pages and choose your favorite foot, body and cuff. You will see pictures of each component to give you an idea of the finished look. Below each picture will be simple directions for the entire pattern.

    All you have to do is pick your favorite color of sock yarn, or, for some real fun, several favorite colors. Dare to be wild with your socks! Each component offers a choice of techniques, from beginner to intermediate. In designing your own sock, you will also choose the length of your sock to suit your preference. The pattern components in Socks la Carte 2 are based on a woman's size-8 foot. If you are knitting with TOFUtsies, the yarn will have enough stretch that most can wear this size. If your foot is a bit bigger or smaller, you should still enjoy a comfortable fit.

    We've also included a few tips along the way for making size adjustments if you need them. One of the greatest things about knitting from the toe up is that you can make adjustments to the sock and try it on as you knit. Nothing's better than socks that fit you perfectly! If you are a beginning sock knitter and need more assistance with knitting techniques, we've included a few Web-based resources in the back of the book. We also recommend dropping by your local yarn store (LYS) for hands-on help. Your LYS is a great resource and will help you on your needle arts journey. If you are an experienced sock knitter, there are always opportunities to take our designs and really make them your own.
