UPCOMING THEMES

Just learned how to knit two at a time! I have second sock (and mitten) syndrome really, really bad so this is a lifesaver!
Just started some mitts, here's the pattern: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/doppelbock-mitts
Congrats! It's one of those things that definitely looks really intimidating but once you get over the "I need more hands" stage it's not so bad. Definitely a gamechanger for second sock syndrome!
Cool!! But that kind of makes my head hurt.
It's not that bad if you have a nice cable without memory (I use chiagoo). It takes a bit of practice but once you get the hang of it ...it's great. I've been obsessed with socks and mittens lately. This technique makes perfectly matched pairs with less row counting and tension differences.
