AHH

Hello, fans. I am back again! I have used the technique of intarsia to create this small square that say the word, "AHH" on it. I think I would like it better if the lettering were thicker. I think it would make it more legible. I made the lettering myself by making a chart on paper first. I started with the purl stitch to set it up and then set it with the knit stitch. this was made using the stockinette stitch. It's really fun doing intarsia! You combine the two (or more yarn) you use and twist them when you use them intermittently in order to prevent holes. I think I should have used fair isle knitting, however for this because intarsia is typically used for a block pattern. For example, if the AHH was just a square, intarsia would work really well for this. Using intarsia for this made it so that back was scrunched up a little. It was mostly fine, though. I am still trying to figure out intarsia and fair isle more. I'm going to try out fair isle knitting, perhaps tomorrow. I think this is cool! I like it and I'm so excited to learn more about this!
