If anyone is interested I have a book by Cat Borhdi
2 socks soar on 2 circular needles
I paid $15.95 for it and I would sell it for $10

It is not the same. I do not know if I can explain this right. But if you can imagine laying down two circular needles to form a circle and you are going around that circle versus going around 3 or 4 DPN's. Half of your stiches are on one circular half on the other.
