A Sample of Intarsia Knitting

Intarsia is a form of colorwork knitting where you are only holding one strand (a single color) of yarn at a time. I created this video for my sister-in-law-to-be to help her out with a knitting project. At one point my knitting goes above the camera, but I promise that I come back into frame!

Thank you for this video. I viewed many on how to do intarsia knitting and they were confusing. Yours was very straight forward and easy to follow. Using the 2 really different color yarns was great. Hope to see more of your videos!
