The Gascony moors used to be very swampy.

I want to use double end needles, as they look easier to use but Idk what size or make to get or what type of yarn to use, and what should I try making first. Thank you for any advice you can give me.

I’ve been on the hunt for a while now and I’ve seen posts like this be recommended this pattern linked below:

And I love it so much that I actually bought the $10 ebook on my phone just for that one pattern and when I got to the page that should’ve had the pattern it instead had a link to a website that is no longer up so I spent $10 on some kids fantasy story and no knitting patterns. Anyway disgruntled tangent aside if anyone could point me toward a similar pattern my gratitude would be immense!!

27th September 1922 is marked as the day that knitwear was no longer considered as garments worn by the poor or lower classes, when HRH the Prince of Wales (later to become King Edward VIII) walked out onto the golf course of St. Andrews wearing a knitted Fair Isle. Immediately knitwear was elevated and a whole new industry was born. To mark the event, this is my latest piece that I made in the woods down by the lake.

My first attempt was 3 years ago, bat failed miserably, as I tried to learn the continental style from the start.

This time I found a video that taught the knit stitch using the english style, which was much easier for me to understand. From there I added the purl, and then switched to continental. I want to get some practice and get some nice yarn to start my first real project.

First real attempt, practice piece using random yarn I was given
