I am coming to like ECS. Some years ago, I tested samples and decided it was inherently too porous to make a good fabric for fishing and sailing garments. However, it makes a great fabric for socks. It has some real virtues.
It can be produced with short DPN and a long knitting stick, or using the hooked needles of the shepherds. Both approaches will produce an excellent fabric.
Hooked needles work well when standing or walking. The DPN/sheath work when sitting. The DPN are ultimately somewhat faster and more ergonomic. But, if one is going to be walking and standing, then a bit of knitting is better than no knitting.
