admittedly not the most creative of ideas, but it was the best RP-Paddy could think of :P

I love the outfit today, by the way :D

[edit] The fabric arrived - three lots of canvas, and a "bargain bag" of 20m of dress-making fabric, although I can only identify a linen type so far (it's random stuff, and they don't put a label on it to tell you what you have): (trying to ignore the lime spots :P)

There's some shiny stuff, stretchy, linen (or linen-mix), and whatever that red / black one is laughs

Love the fabrics you have chosen for your tops! :D I am still knitting my pillow. Painstakingly counting and recounting, to make sure I get the colourchanges right and using intarsia I spend a lot of time untangling yarn. lol

Thanks dear. I had fun playing with my new owl branch. :D

Thanks :D

hehe I'm glad it isn't just me that gets the yarn in a tangle with intarsia 😊 ;) I did read somewhere to twist the yarn the opposite way on every other row, but I still get it knotted :P

'proper' intarsia is where you don't carry the border colour over, isn't it? I've done one project in that style, but I tend to prefer where I can carry the yarns at the back, as there's less ends to get knotted too laughs ;)

Yup, that is the one. xD It works better for this one, if I carry the yarn over from one side to the other.. its really hard to get the knit flat and the strand between the sides lose enough. o-o

that's a good point - if there's more than 4 stitches, you'd have to twist it multiple times, and then it really wouldn't look right on the finished side ;) Hopefully there's not too many ends to knot / weave in though! ;)

That's one reason why I want to learn the "join as you go" method for granny squares - all those ends! :P

It should save a lot of yarn if you're not carrying it over :D :D
