Today I'm sending in my query to
Interweave Knits for an article on Double Knitting which has only taken me 20 years to develop. I feel like my first-born is about to jump off a CLIFF! It took me 20 years to develop this new way to double knit because while I was figuring out the best way to communicate it I also knew I needed designer/writer credibility before anyone would even consider hearing what I have to say on the subject...
A couple of weeks ago I decided the time was RIGHT when I discovered that the bible on DK: NOTES ON DOUBLE KNITTING by Beverly Royce was selling USED in PAPERBACK for $60 to $80 a pop!...Guess what?! It has now jumped to $80 to $110 per copy and when I try to purchase it I CAN'T!!!
For those of you who don't know, I find Double Knitting to be an intellectually challenging but physically comfortable way to knit in-the-round.

very cool :) You have reminded me, our craft takes time to develop and not to jump the cliff to early and walk away...patience is good.
