Your videos have taught me a lot :) thank you. I want to make a scarf for my son with a super mario figure on each "tail" of the scarf. I don't want the wrong side to be too messy plus there are more colours involved than in the chart you are working off of now and I am only a beginner. What method would you suggest for a project such as the one I want to "attempt"? lol
@lilgreenthumb29 Think about knitting it twice as wide as you need, keeping the design to the same half-width at both ends and just knitting solid for the other half-width. When done, fold in half lengthwise and seam closed. The ugly stuff is hidden inside.
how much of yarn for each butterfly is recommended? thank you soo much for these videos. I want to do a sweater but it just had too many colors in one row. I kept thinking that fair isle is the same as intarsia. Now I am going to buy the yarn for it.
@sealfamily123 It really depends on the size of the color area. If it's small, a couple of yards, if it's larger, use more yarn, but make sure not to make such a heavy butterfly that it pulls itself apart. Experience will help you judge yarn amounts more closely.
