Free knitting book from Book Sneeze

This is the first blog I have done here, so I may not be doing it right. They say practice makes perfect, though, so here goes.

I got this amazing book free from Book Sneeze and since I am learning how to knit, I figured it would be a good choice. I am a beginner so it was somewhat confusing to me to try to convert the knee-high pattern to the sock pattern. I finally thought I had it right but wanted to make sure so I took the book to my knitting teacher and had her go through it. We finally decided that I was ready to start making a pair of socks! I have not got them finished yet, but I have to say that I love the patterns in this book and plan on making some more once I'm done. It has charts for the patterns so I am learning to read those as I go. It may be a bit tough for a beginner, but I think it is a good book and I plan to get a lot of use out of it in the future. Even if I have to ask my knitting teacher more questions! I think I will learn a lot from it. Thank you Book Sneeze for the amazing selection of books you have.
