Double-Knitting Adventures - Iguana Iguana

Iguana Iguana started with a cute textured-knitting pattern, Spülirätsel Leguanby Mamafri on Ravelry.

It seems there used to be a group called "Creawelten" (I think this translates as "creative worlds") where members shared knitting patterns. Mamafri seems to have been a leader of this group and she shared "mystery patterns" which gave instructions day-by-day for knitting project that would reveal themselves little by little. Members could guess what the knitted image would be, having fun with guesses that were more, or less, close to the mark.




Sadly, the group seems no longer to be active. Still I think it honors designers to keep their ideas alive by making new projects.


Mamafri's Spülirätsel Leguan is represented by three textured-knitting projects in Ravelry and I love them all. 

Some of Mamafri's other designs are in double-knitting, so I decided to chart double-knitted version of a Leguan (Iguana). 








It was a fun design to knit and I learned a lot from working with the iguana image about positive and negative space in two-color double-knitting.

I hope one day some Creawelten group members decide to curate Mamafri's design collection so knitters continue to make her patterns!
