It went live first thing in January, so if you&#8217;re interested in double-knitting at all, you should perhaps go check it out! Given my precarious balancing act between work, knitting, family and social life, it&#8217;s not easy for me to travel all over the country (or the world) to teach classes. However, I&#8217;m happy to say that Craftsy is available worldwide (mostly) and you can now take a class from me even if I&#8217;m not actually there.<\/p>\n<p>Despite my absence from your office or living room, I&#8217;m always here to answer questions through the Craftsy platform (vacation schedule dependent, of course) and of course the hundreds of other folks taking the class can help as well.<\/p>\n<p>In this class, I start you off with a little flat double-knit swatch, then I switch to double-knitting in the round for my new wristband\/headband\/cowl pattern <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ravelry.com\/patterns\/library\/duvino\" target=\"_blank\">Duvino<\/a>. Then I teach some double-knit increasing, decreasing, and traveling cables (by the way, the traveling cables are not documented in my book &#8212; this is a new technique that only a few people in my advanced workshops have learned), and we begin building a new hat called <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ravelry.com\/patterns\/library\/atyria\" target=\"_blank\">Atyria<\/a>. After that, I give you a taste of some new techniques I&#8217;m working on, and show how to do a couple of them. Then I&#8217;ll show you how to deal with some common double-knitting issues in my troubleshooting lesson.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_492\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-492\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fallingblog.double-knitting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Atyria-1.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"492\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/fallingblog.double-knitting.com\/?attachment_id=492\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fallingblog.double-knitting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Atyria-1.jpg?fit=1280%2C1190&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1280,1190\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;4&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;NEX-5&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1352140419&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;29&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;1600&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.05&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;SONY DSC&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"SONY DSC\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fallingblog.double-knitting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Atyria-1.jpg?fit=300%2C278&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fallingblog.double-knitting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Atyria-1.jpg?fit=660%2C614&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-492\" alt=\"SONY DSC\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fallingblog.double-knitting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Atyria-1.jpg?resize=300%2C278&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"300\" height=\"278\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fallingblog.double-knitting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Atyria-1.jpg?resize=300%2C278&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fallingblog.double-knitting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Atyria-1.jpg?resize=1024%2C952&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fallingblog.double-knitting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Atyria-1.jpg?resize=150%2C139&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fallingblog.double-knitting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Atyria-1.jpg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-492\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Better photos once Craftsy gets my samples back to me!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>You&#8217;ve already seen Duvino in progress in <a href=\"https:\/\/fallingblog.double-knitting.com\/?p=420\">an earlier post<\/a>, but I&#8217;ve kept Atyria under my hat, so to speak.

Tickets are still available and the price doesn&#8217;t go up until the day the event starts (Jan 12) so if you&#8217;re in the area and free, you should consider coming down to MIT. Also, I&#8217;m planning on going to VKL in NYC for Saturday or Sunday the following weekend and will have some of my 52 Pickup books and kits there.
