best sock book?

I just subscribed to this group. I do knit but mostly I quilt. I am looking
for a sock book that teaches knitting on double circular needles (2 at a
time).

My sock knitting experience is limited. I started a sock about 3 years ago
and when I started to knit on it again, I had totally lost my place.
Soooooo, I ripped it out.

I really don't want to fall into the SSS so I though doing both at once
would cure me!

I appreciate your recommendations!

I agree with DA, "Knitting Circles Around Socks" will meet your needs.
I have it and it will teach you what you want to do.

I do, highly recommend "Sensational Knitted Socks" by Charlene Schurch.
She is great and the charts she provides will used by you many times
if you knit socks very often. I recommend both if you can.

When I was out on Thursday I bought "Knitting Circles Around Socks....."
based on your recommendations. It looks like a wonderful book! I like the
tutorial using worsted weight yarn for your first socks. I'm going to give
that a try!!!

Thanks all!

I think that Cat Bihordi has one Socks Soar on Two Circulars.
Personally, I hate that method. I tried it twice, and it worked, but
I felt as though I was working with spiders. But that's just me! It
may be fine for you.

I tried using two circular needles a while ago, and also gave up
because it was too difficult to handle the ends flying all over the
place. I had tried it with the 24" needles that are recommended in
most of the books I've read. Then I tried 16" needles since half a
sock on one needle really isn't very long, and the shorter needles
work like a charm for me.
