Hand knitting designer, author and lecturer Ruth Herring demonstrates how to knit Intarsia colour work. In part 1, learn how to twist the colours and how to produce an even tension throughout. Part 2 will show you how to darn in the tail ends to neaten the back of your work. Ruth is the designer/author of best selling knitting books Knitting Wildlife and Knitting Masterpieces, which both feature Intarsia knits. Watch the YouTube tutorial and then try out your newly found skills by knitting some bunting for someone special.
“This is a wonderful video!!! So clear. When I change colors, I hear myself say, “needle in and then sort out your colors”, although without the lovely accent! Thanks!”
“I must say that I’ve always been scared of intarsia and you make it look so easy.”
“This was gorgeous work, and the best I have found on youtube so far! Thank you SO much!”
“Thank you so so much for such a fantastically easy tutorial !!
I’m certainly going to try this, and you’ve made it so that I’m not even worried.
Really appreciate this. Thanks again !”
Happy knitting!
