I would love to have a video from you showing cast on, selvedge, double knitting from charts all of it in one video. It would help me a lot. I am still confused with double knitting. Please help. Thank you so much for your help
I would love to have a video that showed double knitting cast on, selvedge, doing double knitting from a chart all of it in one video. I am still confused about double knitting and it would really help me.
I've been watching your class on Craftsy (Adventures in Double Knitting) and I find the video here to be more helpful, as I can see it better. I knit continental style, so I like holding the yarn in my left hand. My knitting looks good on both sides in the middle of my sample/practice swatch. However, my ends look terrible! They are loose and loopy and don't look tidy at all. Am I holding my yarns perhaps too loosely, or is this all just a matter of more practice?
It is, to a certain extent, down to more practice -- but one thing I can recommend: tighten the _second_ pair in the row (the one just after the linked pair). This will snug up the linked pair and keep it snug, and as a side-effect, the edge will get cleaner. Let me know if that doesn't work!
Theoretically, yes -- but you would end up seeing a "blip" of color between your stitches on both layers. If you are concerned about the two layers separating, I recommend adding some subtle colorwork, which will add stability without making it look like you made a mistake :>
@@FallingbloxDesigns Thanks for replying! I am concerned about separating hehe. What would you recommend as "subtle colourwork"? Could I mottle a third colour among both sides?
Right to the point, no time wasted. Love it.
By far the clearest (and shortest) explanation of this selvedge I've found, thank you.
Great googly-moogly! So tempted to attempt a double knit project.

thank you. everything is very accessible👍👍
Thank you! I've been looking for the perfect selvage solution for my double knitting.
Thank you!
could this link be done across the whole row?
