You were just brave enough to show yours.<br />I even happen to love doing Intarsia now & I can tell you that I loathed it until I figured out the twist & carrying the colours properly. Geesh girl, give yourself more credit.bettyboopta2https://www.blogger.com/profile/06349583953100628954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6586797048532909420.post-91029694554846475382007-01-22T10:05:00.000-08:002007-01-22T10:05:00.000-08:00Thanks for the encouragement, guys.

For those who asked, I think the chart I used was the "skully charts" on the left under "awesome knit charts"....but I'm not sure b/c I can't see it at work. :-(Carissa Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12109719890797748345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6586797048532909420.post-17268333229984406492007-01-22T07:23:00.000-08:002007-01-22T07:23:00.000-08:00I have one of those - its a skull too!

Each time I try, it gets better - I am sure it will be the same for you! Someday you will look back on this one and giggle!

It'll pop up one day and haunt me. I'm still trying to make intarsia look good at the back.<br /><br />Eden, I've met lots of kids who are in love with Jack Sparrow, so it's nothing out of the norm and I think it's cute. They even refer to the actor as that. Its kinda funny.pins&needleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14907087834165309841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6586797048532909420.post-43309660771502624572007-01-21T10:32:00.000-08:002007-01-21T10:32:00.000-08:00Looks like he's saying "Arrr!"

It takes practice...and I am still practising myself. LOL!Rilanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02715295176000952426noreply@blogger.com
