“I never seem to have what I need when I need it. I’m going to make a belt-bag that’s bigger on the inside than on the outside, and just carry everything with me.”

Two photos but just one hat. I have been having such fun with double-knit. But it is fiddly work, and this hat isn't perfect so not ready for county fair competition. The mittens in the background are double knit as well. The picture on the right has one mitten with pink side out.
Double knitting fascinates me (although the word "double knit" brings back bad memories of clothes in the late 70's). It's amazing how different the pieces look turned inside out.
Love the double-knit idea. That would keep a noggin and hands doubly warm, plus you get different looks for different days. Beautiful color choices, too.
Okay, Spanky...let me get this straight...double knit means it's reversible with the opposite color showing on the opposite side? And wouldn't you need 4 balls of yarn and six hand for that?

It looks like fun! I'm not sure I'm up to challenge of double knit--you're the (WO)man, Roxie!
