“We are now cruising at a level of two to the power of twenty-five thousand to one against and falling, and we will be restoring normality just as soon as we are sure what normal is anyway. Thank you.” -- The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.

The cablework in the Improbability Socks is designed to be worked from A-C and C-A, rising and falling as the improbability drive speeds you along. The only thing for certain: your socks are going to be one-of-a-kind!
