Flight of the argyles
Published on Thursday December 17th, 2009
It has begun. It won’t be finished in time for Christmas, but the argyle madness is officially underway.
I have made one mistake since these photos were taken, but I think I can make it difficult to spot, and luckily it’s at the side where my brother’s arm is likely to hide it. Other than that, the intarsia-in-the-round is going better than I had hoped. And Berroco’s Ultra Alpaca Light really is a lovely yarn. This project is slow going, though. I sure hope I execute the math perfectly so it fits exactly the way my brother wants it, as I’m pretty sure I only want to knit one of these.

I was thinking about this project the other day, and wondering how it was going. It sounds like a success! It’s almost time for the Garmin argyles too. 🙂 Merry Christmas!

Looks lovely so far, the color choices are really pleasing.

Very nice! Ultra Alpaca Light is such a great cozy yarn, and all that intarsia must make it a labor of love.

It’s looking good. How are you finding the intarsia in the round technique? I wanted to do a project in the round, but the only intarsia I’ve done is flat.

Beautiful green color!
I, too, have a project that will be given to the recipient on the needles. I’ve already warned her to practice her “happy” reaction when she opens it!
If you need a good laugh, go see Franklin’s latest cartoon:

I think we all feel this way this time of year!

Heavens, I have not visited here in so long!
I’ve got lots of catching up to do, and I am sure the inspiration will be brimming and bright just as is always has been!
See you in the Wind!
