intarsia frustrations
My latest knitting project is killing me… a multi-colored pillow from Greetings from Knit Cafe. I’m fumbling through the intarsia like I have a thousand jumbo thumbs. My technique of diving into complex projects without a lot of preparation is driving me slightly bonkers this time. Is it possible to tie off so many yarn strands without the whole thing just falling apart? I have a fear I’ll give this to the intended recipients and in a week it’ll be in pieces on their couch.
I wish Kelly Petkun would do a podcast on intarsia. Niblo loves taking naps while listening to the slow, calculated way she reads. Which gives me a break to drink copious amounts of coffee and tie a few tiny square knots. (Not a long break, but in my world, time is relative.)
