Socks can be far more than everyday footwear--designers Edelgard Janssen and Ute Eismann have proven it in Sock Art. Inspired by nature and the treasures of ancient cultures, they have elevated sock knitting into an art form. These fascinating designs stimulate the senses: A fresh lily of the valley pattern fills your nose with spring fragrance, fiery red lizard socks radiate the shimmering heat of the desert, harmonizing shades of azure evoke memories of the coast of Greece ... Treat your toes to these fresh, colorful, fabulous socks

About the Author
Edelgard Janssen is an avid crafter and lifelong church musician, and the mother of four children. Ute Eismann is a professional interpreter and translator with a passion for crafts, and the mother of three children. Both authors see designing and writing instructions as a challenging process, as well as a way to create beautiful socks. They have participated in several art exhibits and hope that Sock Art will inspire many other knitters to explore color and create artful socks.
