Also a great book for all methods of sock knitting is Sensational Knitted Socks by Charlene Schurch it gives a bunch of tables on measurments to fit etc and the different sock knitting techniques. I have found this book to be an excellent reference.
If you haven’t seen it, Knitty has instructions for making 2 socks at once on dpns.

I think I’ll forgo that for a while.
That article is so FUN to read! I’m not quite ready to do the acrobatics yet, but one day…
