This week we drifted into a discussion of double knitting after Sung asked if you could knit initials on both side and not have one of the reversed. Not only can you do that, Jenny showed us that and also told us you can even triple knit using three colors of yarn. There was quite a lot of discussion of double knitting including recommended authors like Alisdair Post-Quinn.
Guess what?! Sumner finished and modelled his Phrancko hoodie that was published in Cast On magazine, Summer 2023 issue, as the Plain and Simple Hoodie pattern. He has been wanting to do this ever since I started working on it and he has finally completed it. And he loves it! That makes me so happy.
Here is the color card Cindy mentioned. She added a note that the price has gone up to $50:

Here's another color card that is only $39:

Here is an alphabet pattern that might work. You can buy the entire alphabet or just individual letters.
