Guest: Michele Rose, author of Inspired to Knit
Michele explains how she came up with the idea for this book – she tells us how Interweave wanted to include her design process, which includes mood boards, in the book.
The workshops included in the book help knitters find inspiration.
Knitalong with Pixie:
Finishing up Intarsia
Secure tail so there is no distortion; make sure it replicates the structure of the previous stitch. Check front and back while finishing.
Cause least amount of disturbance to surrounding area. Less of the strand picked up, the better. Weave in diagonally.
Details on next knitalong, next week.
