Norman, I have been watching your videos for some time now. As a crocheter for some 13 years, I finally figured out how to knit after watching your videos which taught me the continental method. This was probably around 10 months ago and since then I've returned to your channel, and your blog, again and again. I've gone from a hopeless feeling of 'I'll never be able to knit', to being able to work double knitting, backward knitting, intarsia in the round. Stuff I never thought possible and it's huuugely thanks to your videos and picture tutorils. I've been thinking about signing up for your patreon for a while now but I really don't think I have an excuse not to anymore. Thank you so much! Oh, you're also a pleasure to listen to.

Norman, first of all I would like to thank you for your videos and written instructions. I have been a crocheter for about 59 years and finally started learning how to knit, on my own. I could not have gotten this far without your help. Recently I saw something that was double knitted--amazing--I did not know that was a thing! So I have been learning from your video, and I would get a good sized swatch done find a small error, and rip it out and start over. I had quite a bit done yesterday...decided I wanted to start from scratch again and...I could not get it right, it kept coming out with just the repeating of the two colors without the 'magic' of separating the colors front and back. Ripped it out over and over, would have a stitch or two that just was not right. Then after starting over again, watching your video Again ( lost count of how many times) I realized it was as I suspected, a very simple error on my part. The memore trick that finally got this knitting style to sink in for me is simple...when doing the knit stitch that yarn color should be closest to the needle you are working off of and when then doing the purl stitch that color will be closest to that needle as well. As you said many times do not twist your yarns...but I had to do it, see it to get it thanks so much for all you do.

Norman, Thank you so much for the helpful content. I am working to use up some stash yarn and have a small quantity of lovely hand dyed hand spun yarn from Uruguay (Rio de la Plata) that my mother got in the 80’s. My plan is to make a tea cozy and since the yarn is spun thick and thin, I am trying double knitting for the first time and also trying to reteach my hands continental knitting. I am currently swatching and have found your video so helpful both for the colour change and for the moss stitch border. I enjoy your videos as they come out, but often come back to your tutorials again and again to remind me of specific techniques as I need to execute them! Your tutorials are so clear when I have the yarn in front of me and am working with your guidance. Thanks again!

I Love double knitting. I attend a knitting club where my friends are capable of creating wonderful sweaters, in fairisle, or mittens or socks. But, for them, I am the most skillful (!) simply because I "master" the double knitting technique. I think people is intimidated by all the purls and about being confused about where to knit or purl. My way: I knit with the yarn held in my left hand (continental style) and I purl with the yarn held in my right hand (english style). In this way, I can be fast and following a pattern is as easy as in fairly isle (which I instead do not enjoy due to tension problems). Double knitting to me is easier than fair isle :-)

I love the look of double knitting for color work on scarves and hats. I did it by knitting one colour at a time, and twisting the yarns at the end of each row. You need double pointed needles to do that, but the edge turned out nicely without slipping the stitches. However I think it would be easier to keep track of the colour changes with both yarns together. I also had no idea how ribbing would turn out. Great tutorial as always!
@Nicola_Torrington Жыл бұрын
Thank you for this wonderful tutorial. I really respect the way you anticipate and address potential questions and problems (e.g., ribbing, where the yarns are held on opposite sides). The one thing no one seems to have anticipated is how gauge is affected by double knitting when it's not from a pattern. I need to knit some 6" (15 cm) squares. Do I cast on enough stitches for 12" (determined by the yarn's label gauge, then going down a needle size as you advised), anticipating that half will be on each side, and they will naturally be 6" each? Thanks so much❤

Well, that's a good start but from there you will probably have to experiment around a bit. So, it's not gonna turn out the right size in 100% of all cases..maybe 20.

Still i am learning due to you New techniques and materials like sorts of needles etc. Now busy with socks for a big size as my husband has big feet haha and wilde. I always want a good result. Already started back 5 times. Oh need a stitch that widens. Got it. A good exercise Pearl one Stitch one. Needle close zo ik goes faster. After the socks i will proceed double knitting. Base than a hat. I saw the hat you have knitted double. I also want to teach my daughter a lessen. She did not learn does want to but also has always critisism. Why don´t you buy in a store. Because self made is better and warmer. After she is always amazed. How do you do it. Makes me laugh. Realy. Look even men knit I say. Odd no at least they dare and you don´t I say to her.

I read about a method where you use the double knitting techniques to make a conventional single fabric in the round. It is supposed to be good for small areas where working in the round becomes difficult, such as in gloves. Also I read about using this method to create sock heels. I find knitting in the round to be awkward in areas like this and was intrigued to learn I could actually work back and forth using a version of double knitting to conquer these areas. Have you ever done this? If so do you have any videos showing the technique or can you recommend some? The world of double knitting is new to me and your videos are excellent! Your instruction is so clear and your videos well made. Thank you.

I don't have a video for it. However, when you use double knitting to fake knitting in the round, the edges will be a major problem. You will need a special technique and your tension..well let's say it will be very difficult to get that right. So all in all, I would say that for the average knitter, knitting int he round is a lot easier. But you can always knit flat and seam with kitchener stitch/matress stitch

I have not yet tackled double knitting, but after completing a cowl today (and feeling like I knitted two cowls in order to knit an inside lining to hide the color work in the front), I am ready to give double knitting a try. I realize that the labor is still the same; however, like doing socks two-at-a-time, I like to feel like when I come to the end of a pattern I am REALLY done. =) Thank you for taking the time to record these.

I know this is years after you originally posted this video! I was wondering if you could do some videos of how to do different stitches in double knitting? I know you touch upon it at the end of this video, but I would love it if you could do a whole video with just that! I am thinking about moss/seed stitch for example...
