It's a Kind of Magic

They say that patterned knitting like Fair Isle and intarsia and such go faster because of the magic of watching the pattern form. I'm not sure if I entirely agree with this, but it is pretty neat to watch the flowers and leaves happen. It almost makes me forget that I have 30 pieces of yarn dangling from my work. Almost.


This is what the back looks like. In real intarsia you have to weave all the ends in. Which might be my favorite thing ever. Right up there with visits to the dentist and driving to Saegertown everyday through the snow belt.


But, hey, by now I must be done if I was halfway done the other day...
