#knit colorwork

Just finished the color work on a yoke so I put my project on stitch holders and took a top down picture to appease the knitting gods.

Pattern is the Lumme Tee by Sari Nordlund

starting on the knit Ant Scarf by Devout Hand! this is my first time trying double knitting and knit colorwork. its always so cool to learn a new technique in fiber art, its like magic every time.

there are a few mistakes to notice here but tbh frogging back to fix a single stitch here or there is not something im about to do when im making for myself lol. wanting to mix more red and green in my wardrobe and this was the perfect opportunity. ❤️💚

Dumbass's first knitted colorwork!!!

Its sheep from a knit grid i found on pinterest

This took me like an hour or two, I had to frog a few times, but im really proud of it!

I did it using the English/Continental Switch method that I saw in Knitblr one time and it works great!!!

rest in peace to this first attempt at a batik inspired sweater (it is resting in pieces as it is now frogged)

I did not use a pattern, nor did I think about how long the color work would have to be, and how strangely that would fit. I also was not skilled enough at intarsia to warrant using it for this extremely intricate design I drew up.

Despite this, I did not hesitate to jump right in and try and put a ton of time into it, so I’ll give myself that at least, for better or worse. I’m proud of the design at least! I worked on this around the same time I was running an Indonesia table at an event, so I was having a lot of fun with delving into batik.

I think I’ll try with duplicate stitch, and then maybe one day try to make it as I originally imagined!

I forgot to post my finished gloves! Selbu style mittens I cobbled together myself with leftover patons kroy socks yarn :-) These are made in linen and black colorways because I couldn't find white when I bought the yarn.

Hard to photograph but I managed to continue the palm pattern into the back of the thumb >:-) muahahaah.

Definitely feel like I've leveled up as a knitter because the combination of a knit gusset AND like 10 fucking stitches casted on over the loop (and then decreasing half of those later), one fucked up practice mitten I had to undo, combining these motifs in a way that fit my glove base (which I also had to change), plus figuring out how to chart all of it including 3 drafts. The pattern's under the cut but I've never made one before so I apologize if they don't made sense.

The first pattern is blurry because it's tiny in ms paint. Zoom in or open it there and turn on the grid. I'm like 90% certain that grey part in the middle where you decrease some of the stitches is supposed to go up to the top and there's Maybe a row missing Somewhere where the ribbing comes before a CC line but I can't fucking tell right now lmaoo. Have fun everyone and hope you enjoy.

I’ve been messing about with double knitting so much lately, and I’m still oddly proud of myself for figuring this out. Knit plaid, with only two colors and no floats or bobbins! Someone on Reddit pointed out this would be a colossal pain in the ass with pretty much anything other than double knitting, so I’m proud of it for that alone lol. And on top of that, it’s double layered - extra warm scarf!
