Introduction to Intarsia Knitting
Intarsia knitting also known as picture knitting, is a technique that often presents itself as too complicated to work. The main skill to develop is to be sure that every time you change color you pick up the new yarn under the just used yarn. That way you will prevent holes forming where the two yarns meet. A little purse is the vehicle we will use to learn how to knit just about any Intarsia design. To insure success, I used a yarn that felts easily. Purse pattern included. Materials, yes, homework, no
