Intarsia is a colorwork knitting method perfect for blocks of multiple colors, large scale motifs or any single image you would like to ‘paint’ into your knitting project. In this 2.5-hour class you'll learn how to knit intarsia flat while knitting the Watercolor Cowl by Kaffe Fassett. We'll also introduce color theory for selecting multiple colors, options for managing yarn with intarsia, weaving in ends, blocking your cowl, the mattress stitch for seaming and adding an I-cord edge.
