Yes, I have it on my phone!

Some languages use the same word for creating all manner of fabrics, whether woven, knitted, or crocheted. Many (most?) languages don't have a different word for "purl," either. It's right stitch and left/wrong/upside down/backwards stitch.

A sock that fits is 10% smaller in circumference than your ball of foot/ankle, and modified for fit issues (like high arch). Durability has to do with knitting to a gauge that is 15-20% firmer than what is recommended on the ball band. (and includes some nylon). Regia has a 10-year guarantee.

I would do this *before* ripping out, so you can figure out what size you *should* be knitting, and any modifications you might want to make to the shaping.

If the pattern doesn't have a schematic (a line drawing that illustrates finished measurements), check for that information in text form. You can also make your own schematic by dividing the stitch counts by gauge and reading through for shaping and length to see if width changes, and where.

Weird that they chose to show someone crocheting to represent WWKIP day

The stitch pattern is from The Wild Garden Sock collection (apparently, I enjoy combining sock patterns with sweater construction).

The short rows and decreases are done when you have the number required for your bicep circumference. I much prefer this method to Walker's short row method that's like the second half of a short row sock heel.

The set-in sleeves use a modification of Elizabeth Zimmermann's method from her book Knitting Without Tears (the Kangaroo Pouch sweater). Sts are picked up around the armhole based on st:row gauge ratio, and the cap is short-rowed with decreases like the heel turn of a heel flap.

The sweater is knit top down, with set-in sleeves. I designed it based on my measurements and knit the body using one of the methods for a top down set-in sleeve sweater in Barbara Walker's book Knitting From the Top.

What length do you use for a single sock with Magic Loop? Some use 32'', some use 40''. Add enough length for the circumference of the 2nd sock for 2aat, i.e. an additional 8''. If you use 32'' for 1 sock, you'd need 40'' for 2aat. If you use 40'' for 1 sock, you'd need 48'' for 2aat.

It goes faster, but there's less entertainment and far less purring.

It doesn't read like it was hallucinated. It reads like something a new designer (which he is not) would write, without knowing he should use a style sheet, and without recognizing how inconsistent he is with how he presents information. Plus, the photos are real.

The laborious/distasteful part was having all the sts for all the pieces on the needles at one time. I much prefer knitting smaller pieces!

No. It's top down, simultaneous set-in sleeve construction. Even if this was a pullover, the shoulders to the bottom of the neck would have been knit back and forth. I would have lost a lot of yarn in the re-doing if I had steeked it!
