This is a note on basic knitting terminology and techniques, that helps to understand [[Kniterate]].
Gauge: amount of stitches per inch European vs. British style: European seems to be much faster! Stockinette: 1 layer knit Double knitting: 2 layers knit Fair isle: using two colors per row to create continuous, repeating patterns with “floats” (yarn strands) on the back Intarsia: uses separate bobbins for distinct color blocks, producing a smooth, float-free fabric with no long carried strands, perfect for large, graphic images
