is there a way that tghe design could not be recversible i wanted it the same look on both side.....i am making this scarf for a my friend who a education major....i made the big apple chart myself by while knitting into the design with the two colors i get these HUGE floats...my question is how do i get the design evenly on both side without floats when using double knitting???????? HELP PLZ

@sweetpooh06 The very nature of double-knitting is the positive/negative of the two sides. Since each yarn is used in every pair of stitches, there should be no "floats." I think you need to start over.....

I appreciate the thorough explanation. More explanation is always better for me. If someone wants to look rather than listen, they can hit the mute button. I'm currently making a scarf (slowly) using the methods from your videos, since they provide the look I want. It's going to take ages, but my scarf should look great in the end. I'm usually terrible at picking up new techniques from videos, but I was able to follow yours. That proves it's good! ;)

@icucingme Ah, perfection is what I was aiming for!

[icucingme]

@planetpurl I completely disagree with Khamomil, that is what the mute button is for, this video is perfection!

how do you keep your working yarn from getting all kinky? my yarns are always getting tangled into knots when I try to double knit.
