Introduction
In the introductory chapter, I offer a glimpse into my creative journey: How I began knitting, what draws me to the craft, and how I discovered my passion for the Intarsia technique.
I also delve into my design process, explaining how I develop motifs through hand-cut paper collages and then transform these designs into knitted textiles.
Getting started
In the techniques chapter, I share all my essential tips and tricks for mastering the Intarsia technique, along with the tools I prefer to use.
You’ll find detailed, step-by-step instructions for various techniques, including the intarsia join, intarsia cast-on using multiple colours, and seamless intarsia.
