February's book is American Sock Knitting by Beth Moriarty. The book's divided up into five sections: Northeast, Southeast, Midwest, Southwest, and Northeast. Each section has a story about a historical location in the region. It has a recipe inspired by the area. And it has a sock patterns also inspired by the area. The patterns are by a variety of designers. I think I got the book originally to do the Jersey Turnpike socks by Heatherly Walker. Maybe I'll do them later this year if I get stalled for ideas.
I'm going to do Appalachian Trail (knit the socks, not walk the trail). The yarn is the delightful Unicorn Rainbow Fight! from The Cyborg's Craft Room.

I have this book....I adore the Winter Chases Fall socks...
I've backpacked part of the trail in TN and NC. Fun trip. Got snorted on by a momma bear while safe behind a fence. LOL
