Love this tutorial very clear instruction better than a full class , thank you so much for this I plan on referring to this many times as I learn intarsia !!!
+Debra Miller I also refer to this video many times Debra, I have knitted for many years, but crochet a lot more. Intarsia for some reason frustrates me a little. I love this video as you can just watch over and over again.
I wish my mom was still alive. When she taught me to knit, I was not allowed to let go of the needles. I gave up knitting until I moved out onto my own.
to clarify: If I'm knitting a garment and need a white edge in 6 stitches then other colour for 72 stitches and then finish with 6 more stitches of the white again on the other end, I'd need to use two balls of white because the white can't be done with one ball. Is that correct? Sorry, I'm in my mid 60's and just learned to knit last year so this is all new to me. Thanks for your excellent videos.
A really clear video but I'm still struggling with intarsia! My wool ends up with holes and some of it doesn't hang down, it ties across where I go back to the colour (hard to explain what I mean...) I'm trying to change colour on a purl row, in the middle. Its making me go crazy!! Haha
I'm just starting to learn to knit, so I may sound a little under professional. So I noticed when you would go to the back, you could see the strings hanging out, and I was wondering what you would do with those. Like is it okay to just cut them off, or will it create a hole?
ArtChick102 Just to jump in on that question, what if you weren't able to weave in the ends? (i.e didn't have a needle big enough?) What would happen if you just cut them off, would the whole piece of work come undone?! Could you offer an alternative to weaving? Thank you! xxx
Thank you so much for your quick reply! So by securing, do you mean tying them into very tight double knots? Weaving certainly seems the best and I hope to purchase a big needle soon!
