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.

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

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.

There are several videos in the blog post (click link ) which walk you through the whole process. In the posted photo, the cut ends are hiding under the folded-back steek, which is labeled "D." Double fold-back does share the folded aspect of a french seam, but is not clasped like a french seam is.

view of a knitted sample, steeked, offering inside and outside views of a new technique. The sample is worked in bright blue stockinette and has dark blue garter stitch borders. Notable is that the cut ends from steeking are completely hidden.

Double fold-back steeks, good for wall hangings & cushion tops. Could use on blankets too, and maybe cardigan front bands

The finishing work is done ahead. When you cut, the ends fold under, forever hidden.

They have already accessed the Integrated Data Retrieval System (IDRS), a system used by IRS employees to retrieve account information. Musk software engineer Gavin Kliger is among those accessing the data. Additionally, 15,000 IRS employees are expected to be fired this coming week.

Musk’s staffers are accessing the heavily guarded Internal Revenue Service (IRS) system, which contains detailed financial information on every taxpayer, business, and nonprofit in the country.

Kinda scary, I think...

I did not know that. Thanks for info!
