Not sure if you could read between the lines but this intarsia project had me scared! After the three sleeves, I really wasn’t sure I could pull it off. I’d have to admit defeat! That’s not what I wanted to do so I pondered. Decided to make the back first – just some stripes, really to make sure I wasn’t going to run out of the gray. I’m pretty sure on the internet ad version of this, the back would have been plain, one colour only – didn’t want that, but couldn’t see complicating my life with an intarsia design. Quickly got that done and I was happy with it – remember, I haven’t made a pullover in some time, so making the Back was helping me see the entire garment better, testing out the length and shape before getting into the intensity of intarsia. I decided to restrict my intarsia knitting time to 20-row intervals, to maintain calm and not allow myself to get over-tired which leads to mistakes which leads to frustration…
