What is the deal with Intarsia. I thought I had it, I really did. I was knitting the above flame socks for my son , and I was so pleased with the result, but it just keeps coming out so tight. Why? If anyone at all reads this, please explain it to me.

I've had the same problem. Believe you need to be very loose carrying the color over the stitches on the inside. I have some intarsia socks (well, really just the first one) that needs to be frogged and started over, for the very same reason.
ReplyDeleteBelieve you need to be very loose carrying your yarn on the inside. I have a sock myself that needs to be frogged and restarted because I can't get it on, it's so tight.
ReplyDeleteBTW, just looked at your Etsy site and your colors are just beautiful!
Thanks so much for the compliment on my etsy!
ReplyDeleteOkay, so honestly I thought I was being loose. But I will try again keeping that in mind. Thanks for the help.
It is a super bummer since they are for my son and he was really excited about them. I guess the flames are like speeding Nascars? I don't know but it is sweet and I never want to let him down.
