Doing Intarsia

Couple days ago, I (after a long time avoiding) trying knitting with intarsia method.

Knitting with so many bobbins was so troublesome. (am i right with the word i choose?)

The positive effect was i finished this only in two days. because I don't want struggle with all the bobbins too long. XD

But I satisfy with the result. :D

It's quite easy doing intarsia, I only read from this article by Purlbee before I have confidence to start. All you have to prepare is many bobbins. ;)



Happy Knitting!!
