OMG Intarsia
The alternate title for this post would read “easier thought than done.” Text on plant pockets — what a keen idea, right? Intarsia is giving me fits. Then again, it’s likely an aspect of knitting that’s a little beyond my current skill set. I can’t quite bring myself to share with you what the ragged backside looks like before I weave in all the ends. Even, then I’m not going to flip this puppy over and show you. I’m hoping that once filled with dirt and planted, it will all come together. Derek pointed out that we could plant the current two with cacti and be done with it.
If you’re keen to try, I found this post on The Wooly Brew to be very helpful. The “r” (or “arrrrrr” if you’d like a pirate moment) looks a little fiddly, but I have high hopes of making it through the “g” without having to rip out rows and start over.
Juli shared duplicate stitching as an alternative. I might knit up a few tests and see if this is an easier road to travel.
