Check-In Post February 10th 2021

Hello to all members, and welcome to our regular daily check-in post. Just leave a comment below to let us know how your current projects are progressing, or even if they're not.

Checking in is NOT compulsory, check in as often or as seldom as you want, this community isn't about pressure it's about encouragement, motivation, and support. Crafting is meant to be fun, and what's more fun than sharing achievements and seeing the wonderful things everyone else is creating?

There may also occasionally be questions, but again you don't have to answer them, they're just a way of getting to know each other a bit better.


Today's Question: No question today.


If anyone has any questions of their own about the community, or suggestions for tags, questions to be asked on the check-in posts, or if anyone is interested in playing check-in host for a week here on the community, which would entail putting up the daily check-in posts and responding to comments, go to the Questions & Suggestions post and leave a comment.

I now declare this Check-In OPEN!

Hello! I'm a hopeless non-knitter, so HOORAY on your progress! I also don't know what double knitting is. :p

[ofmonstrouswords]

haha, thank you!

double-knitting is basically knitting both sides of a piece of fabric at once so there's no "wrong" side to the fabric (as we often say in knitting; the back side of fabric is referred to as the wrong side). it's a reversible piece of work. this leads the way for some interesting colour work as well as you can reverse colours to make patterns.

this tutorial has some picture examples of what it looks like to make and as a finished project. it looks daunting, but I actually found it's one of the simpler fancy knitting techniques I've learned. just...needs more brain than I usually at the end of the day (when I do my knitting). XD

Wow, that looks pretty cool!
