Double-knitting Intarsia with Alasdair Post-Quinn
Have you been wanting to add more color to your double-knitting, but feeling like you don't have enough hands when doing multi-color double-knitting? With double-knit intarsia, you can work with a theoretically unlimited number of colors without changing the thickness or flexibility of the double-knit fabric - and you only need to deal with two strands at a time. In addition, all those unattractive intarsia twists are completely hidden inside the work. Learn to combine double-knitting colorwork and intarsia to add an exciting twist to your creative repertoire. As with most of my other workshops, you'll also learn a really clean double-knit selvedge and a bind-off that mirrors the cast-on. Supplies
__4 distinct solid colors (2 light, 2 darker) of plain yarn in the DK toworsted weight range __Straight or circular needles in the appropriate size __Knitting Basics including sharp scissors, notebook, pen or pencil with eraser, stitch markers, blunt tapestry needles (large and small), flexible tape measure, small calculator, and needles and crochet hooks of various sizes. Homework
You should be comfortable with modern (two colors at once) double-knitting from recent experience. You should also be comfortable with single-layer intarsia and following knitting charts. Before arriving, please download the homework at http://double-knitting.com/dkintarsiahw and follow the instructions. |
