Experiments with double jacquard

PXL_20210409_090421914

If you are lucky enough to own a Passap E6000 you'lll know there are about 15 built-in variations of double jacquard, all of which produce a different texture and proportion of patterns. I thought I'd experiment and document my samples here, for future use. I love the fact that there's such variation in them - chequerboard backing, plain backing, vertical stripes, bumpy tucks.

Not much else to report lately. Easter went from pleasantly sunny to freezing cold, seemingly in the space of a day. I attended an in-person First Aid requalification course, and was never so grateful for my "cozy prison" having kept my coat on for two solid days - they had to have the windows open for covid reasons, and it was trying to snow outside. Not fun! I was lucky enough to catch up with a work colleague in a park that happens to be roughly halfway for both of us. 

Shops are reopening on the 12th. The enforced break in consumer habits has made me realise I don't actually really need much. Though I may treat myself to some more paintbrushes...

Oh, and I am knitting jumper number 4 from the black chenille - a variation on an old Kangamoo pattern, but on the standard gauge. I'll blog about that when it's finished. 

Current mood: amused
