Intarsia
Intarsia is the method used to knit simple picture shapes and graphics. Designs are bedoming more sophisticated, intricate and elaborate with the use of multiple colors. Intarsia is distinguished from other forms of color work in that each area of color is knitted using a separate supply of yarn. The interlock, a simple manuever of interlocking the yarns at each color change, is the only adjunct technique needed to knit intarsia designs. The stitches should look as if they just magically change color from one stitch to the next, with no flaw revealing the process of the color change. This technique is fun and is taught in the “Intarsia Knitting” class. |
