Duplicate Stitching

I have never done duplicate stitching.
YOUR ANSWER
Duplicate stitching is basically embroidering over a stitch in the knitted fabric with a different colour.
You use a sewing needle with an eye big enough for you wool to pass through. Bring the needle up through the fabric at the base of the stitch you want to cover, and follow the wool in the existing stitch with your needle.
So you take the needle and put it behind the stitch about (in on the right and back to the front on the left of the stitch above) and then take the needle back down to the base of the stitch you are covering and through to the back of the work.
Knitting.About.Com has a good tutorial on duplicate stitching (with photos), you can find it here>

I am currently moving all of the pages to a new CSS driven template but with around 700 pages it is going to take me a while to get it done.
