Intarsia

Intarsia is one of those techniques that I really, really wish I was good at.  I have DVD's.  I am signed up for a Craftsy class.   Now, I am even practicing.    The Packer sweater is done.   That was a warm up for the cowboy sweater for Mallory.

I thought a lot about the color choice before I put in the order.  Fortunately, part of my original color choice has not been available so I had to switch.   My new choice, I think, is much better.    This is a real challenge for me.   So far I am enjoying the progress on this project.    I am cleaning up ends every inch or so.  This is not because I am innately tidy.  Would that I were!  It is because I do not tie the butterfly bobbins well and have a hot mess hanging off the back of the work that makes it much harder to do.  So far, this makes me want to be better at doing this.  I have a lot of room for improvement.

Mallory, I hope will like this.   She is a cowgirl and not likely to pass out of the phase.   Can't wait to get the whole cowboy done!
