Never liked Mukesh either..or Kumar Sanu.. I’m so glad to have found a fellow desi knitter, old hindi songs lover, and youtube addict.

Apologies for hijacking your comments...but anyway, the double knitting did make them quite thick. I used close to 400 yds of DK weight yarn, so they are pretty heavy! I didn't look too closely at the MagKnits pattern, but it does look somewhat easier to follow than Broadstreet. I ended up knitting the ribbed cuff as single knitting, then increased at the end of the ribbing and converted to double knitting, then went back to single knitting for the fingers (double was too thick there). Then double knitting again for the mitten cover. Double knitting isn't too hard, just do a big gauge swatch to get the hang of it!

Spud, that pigtails thing was a big fashion in the 50s; went with plaid blouses and plain coloured saris too. But the song does have an innocence, no? Sepoy: Zeenie!! In Satyam Shivam Sundaram, I'm guessing? Or hai hai yeh majboori? Must have been a looong hour... Am glad you enjoyed it, Opal!
