Don’t just take our word for it. Here’s what two veteran sock knitters are saying about Sockstar:
“The book is great! A *must* have for the new sock knitter and a handy reference guide for those already knitting their own socks. It will have a definite home in my library of knitting books.” – Mary E. Rose
“I…got so engrossed that I almost made myself late.” – Nancy Bellamy
Do yourself – and your socks – a favor by getting Sockstar for your library. The tips alone are worth the price of the eBook and you get a lot more than just those tips.
How do I get the Knotions magazine?
Thanks for your interest!
We’re a digital magazine and every pattern is free. The easiest way to get to it is to go to the current issue via the top nav.
Would you consider making this available on GooglePlay as a book?
Unfortunately, not right now 🙁
I sell through a third-party and they make the payment of the EU VAT which is HUGE. They don’t distribute via Google Play.
What is it about Play that you like? Maybe I can help with another way around it *fingers crossed*
I usually have some money left in my Google Play account and I like to spend it on knitting books…I’m in the US and that channel is just easy for me to use.

PS: Thanks for the speedy reply
A question – just wondering if eBooks are printable? If I buy Sockstar I would like to have it in my paper library if possible. Thank you!
