love the colors...so very cool

Now that is some fine-looking intarsia! (I love how you always leave the ends hanging out the RS of the work :-))

Hooray for you! Rockin' job on the intarsia, and it doesn't look like you'll have *too* many ends to weave. ;)

What a beautiful blue yarn. How come your end threads are on the front?

wonderful colors together. great lookin' intarsia!

I LOVE those colors together! I am thinking of joining this knitalong to make a sweater for my little brother.

I like the look with all the ends hanging out in the front too, Becky! ;0)

For those of you wondering, this is the way I was taught to bring in the new yarn when doing intarsia. I think that having the new yarn hang on the opposite side from the working yarn helps lock it in better so that that first stitch isn't so loose. The end is easily and invisibly pulled through to the back one row below for weaving in.

can you explain how your intarsia join works, it's so neat? I am fascinated! I love the colours together too btw, it's going to be gorgeous.

I have never seen that method for joining new yarn with intarsia. I always join one or two stitches before the start of the intarsia work, which also solves the problem of a loose first stitch. I like the idea of the working yarn being on the opposite side of the work though. The sweater look great btw!

Thanks for sharing the reason. I was working on an intarsia project and was having an awful time joining in a new yarn. I will have to try it this way when I pick it up again. Thanks for sharing! I hope it didn't come off as 'snotty'. That wasn't my intention! ;0)

And here I thought the dangling threads were a design feature. :) I'm loving this! Why, oh why do I have forty-eleven dozen other things going so I can't start one?

Intarsia is my weak point in knitting. I learned to do it properly from my grandmother, but forgot over the years. I need to take a class I guess.
