"The ultimate warm sock," promises Neatby. "Although not a quick knit (ever and always the mistress of understatement-- Ed.), this makes excellent carry-around knitting for the ardent knitter. The interconnected two-layer fabric is made with a basic double-knitting technique." She adds, "the sock will look really HUGE for the first couple of rounds until it realizes that it is double knitting. Don't panic!" This sets the tone for the whole piece: she knows, intimately, what this takes, and addresses all fears and concerns before you have a chance to birth them. If you're a Neatby fan, you know too: just follow her (very clear) instructions and all will be well. See data pages for gauge and swatch information; it's non-standard.
