The intarsia method of working with
color strikes fear in many knitters. Oddly,
I find it far easier and way more fun and
manageable than two-color Fair Isle
knitting. I guess, like everything else, it takes
a first attempt followed up with a bit of
practice. I hope that not only will there be a
pair (or two) of quick and colorful mittens
on your gift-making list, but also a sense of
accomplishment in mastering this knitting
technique—an added gift just for you.
