Twist Collective is crazier than me.

Part of me shudders and looks away. Another part is groping for the knitting needles. I *will* be the Queen of Macho Intarsia!

Fortunately for my sanity, my career and the continued existence of Boston's incorporated suburbs, I think my husband can be counted upon to stop me.

You know, if you keep linking to such awesome things to knit, I may be forced to learn how :-P

On an entirely different but still knitting related note, have you seen the Coraline behind-the-scenes video of the tiny knitting? I can't believe anyone knits on such a tiny scale.

oooooh.

Yeaaaaah.

I keep looking at it and thinking *maybe* it's not that crazy... The problem being that, looking at it, I can't figure how to reverse engineer that beastie. It involves steeking, which I've never done, but it (terrifyingly) involves the use of scissors. Knitting the center squares in the round actually seems very sensible, but I can't figure out the borders at *all*.

I shouldn't have clicked. I really shouldn't have clicked. Now I want.

I don't think it's intarsia, I think it's just stranded colorwork. Steeking is scary as whoa, and inversely correlated with the stickiness of your yarn. My problem with that particular pattern is that sticky well-steeking yarns are often not the sorts of soft yarns one wants for baby blankets.

I might make one anyway though. Looks like it's knit in the round and steeked and then stitches picked up for the border, first on both sides (the stockinette section) and then joined and garter-stitched on the edges. The steek edges thus get sandwiched in the border sections.

(Also, hi, I started reading your lj regularly...)
