Double-knitting Further Off the Grid
If decorative increasing and decreasing just doesn’t reach far enough for you, let’s try reaching further using some more extreme increases, decreases, and adding in some traveling stitches and judiciously placed slipped pairs. Combining all of these techniques can create double-knitting that looks as if it had embroidery worked on top of it.
In this workshop, you’ll expand on your existing knowledge of “Off-the-grid” double-knitting with techniques that complement or extend the reach of the techniques you learned in the first workshop.
