Very nice demo.
my grandmother uses double knitting to create tube fabric with straight needles because I don’t think i’ve ever seen circular needles in India.
I am so excited about this episode – I’ve always wanted to try double knitting, but couldn’t quite wrap my brain around it before. Thanks so much!! (And someday, darnit, I’m going to remember to clear my schedule so I can “attend” a live show!)
Great show! Loved the bloopers – LOL!. The big needles Rowan Big Wool in Wild Berry was very pretty. Looks great – makes me want to try that pattern. My best to Debbie @ Yarn Market for all the support they provide this great show. Thanks to you both.
Great technique and great jacket!
I try the giant knitting needles (US50) and it is a lot of fun…
Have you try them Cat?

Great show. I just love catching up on old episodes. As a fairly recent knitter, I use your site as a great reference as I’m living in Taiwan and have little opportunity to speak to knitters or join a group. Love the shrug…THANKS
Great episode!!!! I’ve never tried double knitting but thanks to you I think I might give it a try. Well, maybe after I head to Yarn Market and get a vest kit like the you are wearing. Love it!!
I loved the program on double knitting. I had a UFO for over twenty years that I lost the instructions and technique for double knitting. Now I can confidently start another project. The other project was a blanket very detailed and complicated. I’ll just try a hat or scarf this time to avoid another UFO. This is the best podcast out there. Thanks Kat
Hey. How do you crochet the squares together?
