I just happened to stumble upon your page and what a delight! How is the cardigan coming along? I am just now choosing my colors.

Yay Desiree!! So glad you like my little corner of the internet! I have just started the second sleeve of the jumper and there will be a pic of sleeve #1 in the next Murder, She Cooked newsletter. I'd love to see what colours you have picked and do keep in touch with how it is going your end. I am finding it super fun to knit - my shoulder fishy is so cute!

I can’t wait to see your sleeves! I chose a basic white for the body of the cardigan, a Fern green for the fish, and a Blossom Heather for the wave. All the yarn came from Wool of the Andes from KnitPicks as you posted on your page. I’ve never knitting using Intarsia. Is it difficult?

Oh wow, that sounds gorgeous! Can't wait to see those colours in action. I think the knack with Intarsia is to carry the yarn along fairly loosely. I find with chunky yarn it's quite easy to do this. The aim is for the knitting to lie flat, no puckering! I might have a look for some good YouTube videos to pop in a newsletter soon... Do keep in touch with how you get on x
