Socks continue to be a favorite project of knitters, but “single sock syndrome” — losing interest in knitting that second sock after the first one is done — is the perpetual dilemma.Knit 2 Socks in 1 introduces a distinctive new method that will appeal to sock knitters of all levels as the simplest, most accessible way yet developed to knit two socks at a time. This innovative technique begins with making the first sock’s cuff. The knitter can then relax and knit a long tube, which makes up the main body of both socks. With the help of a lifeline (scrap yarn that is threaded through stitches to hold them in place), the knitter can easily separate the long tube into two socks.

This book is intended to provide a background understanding of the science (fine ship modeling) as we know it today. We trace its development from the 17th century and describe the design methodology of these early shipwrights whose ideas dominated the ship designer's thinking until well into the 1800's when at last traditional concepts gave way to true, modern experimental science. The illustrations, including photos of models and representative lines drawings, provide comparison between ships of earlier and later vintages.
