Calling for test knitters!
This pattern is intended for knitters that are new to double knitting, using simple cast-on, bind-off and selvedge treatment so you can focus more on the main body of the work.

This sweater makes me want to pose!
Front, back, inside out. I love that Intarsia has no floats so it can be worn inside out (if you can overlook a few bumpy areas)
The original neck opening was too wide so I re-did it. I also added a few inches of waist hem for better coverage of my belly.

5 fingering weight yarn, 10+ different stitches (stockinette and reverse stockinette stitches, plus 1x1 ribbing with some of them). Mixing them in one sweater was a lot of fun!

Can you see I'm into diagonal colo1r blocks right now?
Another sweater done. I mixed 5 different skeins of fingering weight yarn with Intarsia knitting, and alternated stockinette and reverse stockinette stitches.

Front side comparison of the 2 recent sweaters I knitted. The armholes of the black & white sweater was a little too big, so I made the other one with tighter armholes.

The 2 sweaters I recently made are both Bottom-Up straight silhouette with square-indented sleeves (a little simpler than set-in sleeves) and crewneck. Many people prefer Top-Down sweaters because they dislike seaming, but I enjoy mattress stitch seaming, as much as I do duplicate stitch
ๆจ (Ki - Tree) and ๆฌ (Hon - Root / Book) are very similar looking kanji characters, yet have different meanings
Kind of like the comparison between "O" and "Q"
From my "Ki (Tree) Hat" and "Nippon (Japan) Headband" knitting patterns

I like using leftover yarn to make smaller accessories. Using what was left from recent sweater knitting, I made a pair of socks, mitts and finger covers.

Happy New Year!
Thank you!
New diagonal sweater is done!
I used 5 fingering sock yarns and Intarsia knitting for diagonal color blocks. Asymmetry makes it fun to look at from all the angles!

(Mizu Sake) coaster is one of my earlier designs from 2019.
When I look at this sample from 6 years ago, I feel horrified by the uneven stitch tension. But non-mirrored double knitting is a very challenging technique.
It's a free pattern by the way, if anyone wants to challenge yourself!
Hand-knit pants in the wild. They are very comfy!
I acquired these yarns from my mom many years ago. For a long time I didn't know what to do with these rather novelty yarns, but this year a light bulb lit up in my head and thought this tweedy boucle yarn could obscure the crotch area perfectly.
New sweater in the making

ๆฅ (Sun / Day) is one of the most fundamental kanji characters in Japan, as it is part of the country name Nippon (ๆฅๆฌ - Sun Root or root of the sun)
It is also part of my designer name Nikko (ๆฅๅ
- Sun Light)
Have a great ๆฅ (day)!
Nippon (Japan) Headband is a free pattern of mine from 2019!

We're currently working on dyeing up the yarn for our Steeking box with Jennifer Beale, which will ship early in the new year.
After steeking we'll be tackling...
- Brioche with @pdxknitterati.bsky.social
- Double Knitting with @nikkoduke.bsky.social
- Beaded Knitting with Galina Zapletnuka
A single-ply yarn like @malabrigoyarn Mecha hides uneven tension very well
Colorways are "882 Azul Fresco" and "009 Polar Morn"
