Oh gosh, thank you so much! Steeking is really much easier than it looks, so I hope you get the chance to make it some day! Many knitters find it to be a relatively easy pattern. 😄

Hah, me too. I feel lost if I don't have my knit bag with me, even if I know I won't have time to actually work on my project.

I **lose** count of my stitches more than anything else I count in a day 😄

I don't get the bad rap either. Once I actually tried Intarsia I wondered what all the fuss was about, because it wasn't particularly difficult.

Thanks! This time around it seems to be working out, so hopefully not too much more frogging in the future.

Oh no! What did you do? Did it fit right? I would have been tempted to just lived with it.

Same! I tried to do duplicate for some large lettering and didn't like how it made the fabric behave. Intarsia is a little finicky at first, but not bad at all once you get used to it.

Agreed! And I think over a large area it doesn't look very tidy, and can constrict the fabric. Intarsia is going to provide a more consistent fabric overall. But I guess people really hate intarsia that much?

Thank you! I just wore it the other day, it's one of my favorite sweaters!

Oh gosh, I have that problem too. Sometimes MY Math is complete fiction, unfortunately! Thanks for the support!

Now that I think about it, I frogged and frogged and frogged before I started designing, so you're probably right...it's not limited to designers!

Thank you, I'm glad you like it! And no worries, I know what it's like to have too many projects in the works!
