Notes

My first intarsia project. Thumbs up for online tutorials!

The cables are inspired by a women’s sleeveless top, of which the pattern was no longer available online.

From the description of that top, the technique used seemed to be intarsia, but with yarn carried a the back of the cable for the part with the opposite color. However, I’m going to be using an extra bobbin of yarn for the three stitches of the cable only. Carrying the yarn behind the opposite color gave me an uneven tension, with the cable being narrower when the yarn was carried (bottom part of the test swatch)
