Have finnaly finnished the body of [ last year Cast On and started]
Petrol sweater and cast on stiches on the armholes ,,, knitted 5
rounds on each sleeve and am pondering if i could put them both on one
[long ] circular needle and knit them this way like some of you do
with socks ? it might keep the round counting easier to do and i wil
finnish both sleeves at once , which is the only thing i like less
about seamless knitting ,,,,, i might just go along and try it and
tell you all how it goes ,,,,
i understand that by folding it one into the other i will get one
sleeve with the right side out =knit , and one with thw wrong side
outwards = purl it ????

after the other , the 2 balls got tnagles ,,, so i am back at knitting
one after the other , but will make it 5 round on 1 and 5 rounds on
2nd ...

Mirjam - when you are doing double knitting, you have to alternate the
stitches - needle 1, needle 2, needle 1, needle 2, etc., til you have
them all on the needle. Then you knit the first stitch, purl the
second stitch with a second ball, knit the next stitch, purl the next
stitch, etc. If you keep your purt thread to the inside of the two and
your knit thread on the outside of the 1st one, it will work. Frances

Most people who knit two socks at once on one long circular needle
don't do it by doubleknitting one inside the other. They just use
the long needle like two shorter circular needles, and do the
magic loop method, one sock in one place and one sock farther along.
Double knitting one inside the other will loosen your gauge because
the yarn has to travel across a stitch on the other item to get to
its own next stitch.
I see you have decided against it anyway because of the complications
of double-knitting. I think it is possible to knit one inside the
other and have both facing outward with the spiral of stitches going
the same way, but it's simpler just to work on them alternately.

Tamar Good morning ,, i have to explain i DID not want to knit my
sleeves in the double knitting method as this would be too loose, and
after all i want two sleeves not one ,, double knitting is fine when i
want it to stay double ,, that i am mixing two colors etc,,,,
I just thought to use one long circular and like knitting the Moebious
, have a long row across both sleeves at the smae time ,, and remamber
both my sleeves are closed rounds thus my circular goes really over
one circle and than should go to the next circle ,,, but come to think
of it if i want to keep the 2 circles = knit in a spiral ,, i reall
should use 2 circular needles ,,,because once i finnished the 2 rounds
i have to have a 2 `points` of needles to work with , but i don`t ,,,,
i have one on one sleeve and the other on the other sleeves and i
didn`t see where i could start knitting ,,,,,, i also foud the two
balls were an extra nuissance at that point ,,
Today i will see if the idea of using 2 circulars will work
i mean once i finnished both sleeves to start another round to take a
2nd circular...... because when we use DPS we all have `points ` to
work with ,,,,
