I am not sure what 'quick knit' refers to (though the name suggests it might be thick). Is there anything on the ball band that suggests what needle/hook size to use ?

I think it would basically be two balls 'stuck together', so knit first, reduce as if to finish, but then increase again and repeat ?

Someone has actually written out a pattern in the facebook link. You don't have to belong to facebook to view it. Uses circs or dpns. Sounds like an ideal project for a sock knitter to me!

Perhaps for a sock knitter who has enough fingers to count how many WIP's she already has
