Also based on your motif you may have to decide if you'll keep all the strands during the knitting or use each color when needed (so no double texture).<br />I'd say give it a try. But maybe it's a good idea to do it after all your other interesting projects!

I don't crochet in times that I would be sewing given that I can't sew in front of the tv. Mind you I suppose socks and a sweater and now colourwork are more than one knitting project...<br />Colour work baffles me. I don't know how to knit but I get the idea, the colour stuff I don't get. My MIL makes lovely mitts that are doubly warm because of the colours. They look a bit like stained glass with the colour being behind the main colour (often black) of the mitt.Seraphinalinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12706215125457113080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-11023065377971572602013-01-18T00:34:51.356-05:002013-01-18T00:34:51.356-05:00Oh, I <3 knitting color-work!

I felt really pleased with myself especially as it forced me to learn continental knitting as it speeds things up immensely and stops the two balls of yarn getting twisted up. I'm glad it no longer scares me as I want this as a jumper next Christmas (her blog is excellent as well) http://katedaviesdesigns.com/designs/boreal/<br /><br />I've not tried Intarsia yet. It scares me and I don't have any patterns that I want to make which will force me to learn how to do it. <br /><br />Is the book any good?<br /><br />Miriana Mirianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09236111119718805934noreply@blogger.com
