Okay, here’s the second part of today’s post–and be sure to shield your eyes from the high-intensity cuteness. I made one of Jess Hutchinson’s unbearably adorable knitted robots for my co-worker Laurie’s son-to-be.
Intarsia, it must be noted, is an obscure latinate word meaning ‘excruciating torture’. I’ve only ever attempted it once before, with my very first sweater, and let’s just say I failed. While it was a little easier this time working with something the size of a large washcloth, I still breathed a sigh of relief when I could go back to plain old straight stockinette.
Looks good though. After I finish Joe’s afghan, I want to try one of Jess’s teddy bears.
