For a while I’ve been wanting to try out the technique of double-sided knitting, after seeing a scarf that my very multi-talented aunty made. Finally I’ve had a go myself. Although knit…

Last year my son bought me 2 balls of SHIBUI sock wool in 'storm' for my birthday. It is such lovely stuff that I decided to save the wool for just the perfect pair of socks. I though I had found the right pattern but when I started to knit, the pooling was such that the front half of the sock was light blue and the back half was dark blue - giving the impression that I had been standing too long in the sun and they had faded. It was something that I could not live with, so I undid it and…

In double knitting, there are two common approaches to the cast on and the bind off: Use both yarns: Cast on / Bind off using both yarn strands held together using any cast on technique desired and needles that are one or two sizes smaller than the main body of the work.
