Am I mistaken...

...or does one of the socks on the cover of this book have tentacles?

Edit: Is there some benefit I'm not seeing to knitting on two circulars instead of using magic loop? Because I have to say, my venture into knitting with two circulars made me incredibly reluctant to start sock #2 (okay, that might also be Cat Bohdri's instructions :P), and my needles kept getting tangled up, and I'm...really tempted to see if I can just knit the second sock using magic loop instead.
