Here's a Pretty Quick bind off (P-Q) that's both pretty & quick. A hybrid of a tubular cast off and a seamed hem & a quick way to go from *home-made* to *handmade*.

Remember: ICE always melts, and there is an afterwards.

The flu is keeping me from posting knitting content, but I will resume shortly. Meanwhile, hoping for a better day when the ICE melts.

A: they don't care to be molested.

I've started a ticket with support + they are looking into it. If you get a post you don't like, click on the three dots.One of the options is "Less like this." When I press LESS, I get even MORE icky pix. Makes Bluesky unusable for me.I mean, good LORD. Hopefully, support will resolve this.

I keep trying to do so--I hit "less like this" every time something objectionable comes up and then...I get MORE of whatever I said I didn't want. Like way more, like the objectionable stuff populates half my feed. So, something is very sus here with the controls.

What's with all the naked and suggestive? I don't care to see naked anyone and especially not dick pics. The more I click "LESS like this," the MORE dick pics.

Bluesky:

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."

Reversible legible words in double knitting

Use the new four-needle technique to double-knit words which read correctly from both sides.

A green striped, double knit, cabled fabric is doubled over so the stuffed baffles show in profile. Below that is another green striped double knit fabric, this one in alternating stripes of seed and stockinette, also in profile along the horizontal edge

graphic in two parts. The top shows the four-needle double-knitting set-up to be two circular needles with a total of four tips, each tip is numbered. The bottom shows four double-pointed needles (dpn's). Each needle is numbered. The title is "similar names, different set-ups."

Knitters are asking me: Is 4-needle double-knitting related to 4 double-pointed needles?

The answer is no.

An illustrated post shows the difference + what 4-needle double-knitting actually is.

Always happy to se your posts and dip into your outstanding selections. Many thanks!

Welcome!

The illustration shows two hands holding four knitting needles, with each needle tip numbered. The needles are working a double-sided "double knit" fabric, green on the front, maroon on the back.

Four needle double knitting: improved tension & a better display of the design as you go. Easier to see, easier to work.

Many years in the making, I hope you will find it useful.

Four panel photo showing a red and white potholder made via double knitting the top, bottom and sides, while working the large one-color area in the middle via simple stockinette fabric. Two panels show the work in progress (front and back). The other two panels show the finished work (front and back).

Double knitting + Independent layers, a trick useful for projects with lots of one-color backgrounds

techknitting.blogspot.com/2025/07/doub...

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.

Haha. That's my job!

A purl graft at the top of a blue and white double knitting project. The graft makes a fold line, applying a contrasting color line of purls to one side, and a line of attractive bumps in same color, to the other.
