Intarsia Initials Class

Curious about new directions for your colourwork knitting? Interested in personalizing your knitting? Think of Intarsia and its separate and multiple fields of color, each with their own shape and form. Intarsia takes colourwork knitting beyond repeating patterns, opening up new possibilities with design and color. Whether you want to put a picture on a sweater or include someone’s initials in a knitted gift, intarsia is the skill you need.
