I say worsted weight - you say double knitting

I was asked recently, what type of yarn I recommend for my baby sweaters. http://www.oknitting.com/patterns_children.htm
Well, all of my baby sweaters require worsted weight yarn.
Now, if you live outside North America my saying that isn't really that helpful.
However, thanks to Jo (remember Jo of yesterday's post). You can go to this site http://www.knitting.stuff.freeuk.com/ConversionTables2.html
and things will be clearer.

Happy knitting,
Leanne

Oddly, I understand "Double Knitting" better. But then, it's not so odd if you know me - I got a lot of training from a British woman I call "MOM". She has been my mentor since I was a teenager and seriously applied myself to knitting.

Currently, I am making a pair of reversible mittens in - you guessed it - Double knitting!
