Knitting communities need some pictures, right?

Here's a WIP to cure the blank page! It will probably turn into a headband for when the weather stops being 30°C and starts being -30°C. Hope to see more people come along shortly. :D

I know you posted this a week ago but ugh, I love it! The coolours, the pattern...do I spy a reversible pattern, in fact?

Such neat colourwork too, great job!

Ooh, nice colorwork! Is that from a pattern you could link to?

It is indeed! It's from a section of the Il Burato scarf here: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/il-burato

Don't know much about knitting but I think this is a really nice design!

That's really intricate. How do you do each loop in a colour? I can knit, but nowhere near anything like that!

The process for double knitting takes some getting used to, but broken down, it's basically two layers of stockinette with the wrong sides facing each other — so you do a knit in the current side's main colour, then a purl in the contrasting colour, and that's effectively one stitch!

I just did my first double knitting project. You are right. It does take getting used to, but I really liked the results. Yours is beautiful!

Gorgeous! I especially like the edging!

Thanks! I got info on how to do the edging from these project notes: https://www.ravelry.com/projects/nasamuffin/counting-sheep-blanket I guess I should have included these things in the post, haha.
