I'm sorry, but I can't help you with fizz knitting...I've only been knitting 2 yrs, but it does sound intriquing

I remember doing that -- I used something like a 17 in one hand and an 8 in the other. Made for a quick knit! I haven't seen any patterns for that, but I did see a swatch made up that way in Ben Franklin on Friday, so perhaps there are some out there after all. I don't recall it being called Fizz knitting, but it was nearly 20 years ago that I remember doing it!

Good luck!

I do believe it was called Condo Knitting.
And still is, if Google is to believed.
Here's one site with a pattern:
