It makes knitting intarsia fast and rhythmic. Here&#8217;s a cheat-sheet of tips that will help make your intarsia knitting projects fun and successful.\u00a0 These are tips that I am posting on Twitter all month, but they are here &#8211; if you need to refer to them!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The time you spend in preparing Yarn supplies allows you to knit, uninterrupted.<\/li>\n<li>Leave the ball of yarn at home. Knit free, with well-managed yarn supplies. Have fun with color!<\/li>\n<li>Bury the ends in links now, or later. You are the boss of the ends.<\/li>\n<li>Small bits of yarn go a long way, with annetarsia.<\/li>\n<li>Chocolate, chocolate, chocolate! We need fuel to do annetarsia so fast!<\/li>\n<li>Are you knitting in good light? You want to see your terrific annetarsia.<\/li>\n<li>Follow charts for Motif, but if you get off track, who will know?<\/li>\n<li>When your yarn supplies have a party, shake the work gently. Mess may resolve itself.<\/li>\n<li>Place post-it note ABOVE the row you are knitting, so you can see the motif being knit.<\/li>\n<li>Reward yourself for finishing a section of color. Annetarsia is fun.<\/li>\n<li>Carry extra yarn supplies in ziptop baggies, in case you need them.<\/li>\n<li>Have chenille needles and small scissors with you, so you can do annetarsia anywhere.<\/li>\n<li>Bobbins keep your yarn close to the needle. Avoids tangles but slows annetarsia.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/bartonriveryarn.com\/annetarsia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/3998_Still_0012.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-1157\" src=\"https:\/\/bartonriveryarn.com\/annetarsia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/3998_Still_0012-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"3998_Still_0012\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bartonriveryarn.com\/annetarsia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/3998_Still_0012-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bartonriveryarn.com\/annetarsia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/3998_Still_0012-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/bartonriveryarn.com\/annetarsia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/3998_Still_0012-1024x682.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>Tangles? Unwind butterfly that is stuck, and re-wind. Mess may resolve itself.<\/li>\n<li>Pro: Bobbins = security. Con: Bobbins = Slow progress.<\/li>\n<li>Spread your fingers to get as large a butterfly as possible.<\/li>\n<li>Single strands should be shorter than your height,for easiest use.<\/li>\n<li>Butterflies get messy as they are used up. Re-wind as needed.<\/li>\n<li>Un-knitting a row is OK, if you want to change something you JUST NOW knit.<\/li>\n<li>Don\u2019t remove your needles from work and rip out. Duplicate stitch can be the hero.<\/li>\n<li>Duplicate stitch can change the color of a stitch. Shh, don\u2019t tell anyone, they\u2019ll never know.<\/li>\n<li>Keep links relaxed between sections. You can tighten links later, but you can\u2019t loosen them up.<\/li>\n<li><strong>You are the boss of your knitting!<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you tried my new Annetarsia technique yet?
