I have one question though, if the shape is in the centre of the knitting piece, how do I get the background colour wool from one side of the shape to the other side? Do I need an extra thread of wool? How do I connect it into my existing knitting? How do I tie the wool to knit the shape in the centre? The intarsia instructions were very helpful.

Do I need to have a separate ball of yarn for each cable and for each section of background between the cables? If so, how do I twist the tail on the intial row of casting on the stitches?

For years, I've tried to learn intasia via books and even one web vid but couldn't grasp it. You made it seem so simple too! Thanks a billion. I've had so many projects brimming in my head that called for intarsia that I was going crazy. Thank you so much.

I am knitting an afghan with the cables a different color than the background. So, for example, if the background is green and the cable pink, should I have 2 greens and 1 pink ball of yarn for each segment of the cable? thank you When you are changing colors, do you have a ball of yarn for each color change?

The pattern tells me to knit 12 stitches for the outside of the ear and right after 10 stitches in the pink for the inside of the ear. The next row confuses me. I have to knit the outside wool then twist the wool once to make it joined into one piece then purl the remaining stiches. My problem is it looks messy and not alway the same. Where do I put the wool for the twist so it won't show on the finished product? Thanks Linda Hi,

It says to knit to last 2 stitches, turn. How do I handle those 2 stitches because the next knit row will be to leave 4 stitches. This is the shaping of the top of the hat. There is something further on in the instructions that mentions whenyou get to the wrapped stitches. I assume they are talking about those odd stitches at the top of the cap.

You're right, the book I was using just said to "twist the strands together on the wrong side." Ugh. Thank you for your photos and clear descriptions!! Thank you!
