#🧶 #knitting #knittinghowto #knittingtechnique Markers and yarn-overs don't play nice together. Here's a trick called "tumble up tails," which keeps markers in their place when lace knitting. Works for raglan columns on sweaters, too. techknitting.blogspot.com/2026/09/plac...

A photo of lace knitting worked with a centered K-1 between YO's. A marker has been inserted before the K-1 but has evidently slipped out of position under an adjoining YO, so it appeared to be marking the preceding stitch. The sliding marker made the center K-1 column go wandering off, and the top part of the photo shows the "wandering column" error which resulted.

A yellow square of stockinette displays a developing greek key pattern in red stitches on its surface. A dropped column of knitting with a crochet hook in its middle indicates how the pattern is made: the hook pulls red stitches onto the yellow surface from a red fabric, also with a dropped column, held behind the yellow.

#🧶 #knitting #knittinghowto #knittingtechnique #doubleknitting What if you could take 2 completely separate fabrics & join them into a double-knit baffled fabric? More knitted magic with this new post: Double knitting by Transformation: Vertical Baffles techknitting.blogspot.com/2026/04/doub...

A knitted fabric with puffy vertical baffles. The baffles are separated columns of rust-colored stitches. The overall fabric features horizontal green and blue stripes separated by rust-colored rows. The overall effect is alternating bands of contiguous green or blue squares outlined by rust-colored knitting, the squares being formed by the intersection of rust-colored columns and rust-colored rows.

#knitting #knittinghowto #doubleknitting #🧶 Reversible legible words in double knitting Use the new four-needle technique to double-knit words which read correctly from both sides. techknitting.blogspot.com/2025/12/reve...

A three-panel photo showing double knitting from both sides. Panel 1: mirror-image double knitting with the word "BIG" reversed--this is what would happen in ordinary double knitting with words. Panel 2: the reverse of panel 1, where the word "BIG reads correctly. Panel 3: like panel 1, this is also the reverse of panel 2, but the word "BIG" now reads correctly. Via a label at the bottom of the three panel illustration, the reader is given to understand that the difference between the mirror-image "BIG" and the correctly oriented "BIG" has occurred through a double knitting technique called "uncoupling."

A sock being double knit, which is a black outside layer and a white inside layer, with the stitches arranged alternately on three double-pointed needles. The sock has diamond designs on it in white on the visible black layer, and (because the sock is double knit) the implication is that there are corresponding black designs on the inside white layer.

This wrecks me—every single time.

Sentimental Moment or Why Did the Baguette Cross the Road?

Don't fill up on bread
I say absent-mindedly
The servings here are huge

My son, whose hair may be
receding a bit, says
Did you really just
say that to me?

What he doesn't know
is that when we're walking
together, when we get
to the curb
I sometimes start to reach
for his hand
