Alright…I’m halfway through the motif and I *still* love it. The colors are blending the way I had hoped, and you can actually make out the motif. I was worried it would look like a blob of color.
Considering I cast on last Sunday and travelled for work a few days this week, I’m making nice progress. I’m almost to the armholes.
There are a couple of tight spots before I’ll be completely convinced this is going to work out. I need to come up with good armhole shaping (I’m doing set-in sleeves) and I don’t want to have to rip it because I can only imagine that ripping intarsia is bad.
I also have to get the neckline to work with the motif. I was going to do a V neck but the motif is so high that I couldn’t make it work right (I suppose that might have something to do with my 5’2″ height as well). So instead I’m going with a rounded neck with a slit (somewhat V neck, and still very casual). Probably rolled like the hem.

So. Cool. !
Wow! It’s looking fantastic!
Jody, this is brilliant! love the colors!
Loving the colors and wishing you luck on the shaping bits. I think that ripping intarsia would be bad indeed…
AWSUME
it’s looking great! i can’t wait to see it all done!
Looks fabulous!
I need to provide pictures, though…
Did you do your hair? I did.
Oh that’s amazing! When I learned how to knit when I was little all I did was intarsia & fair isle hats. I had no idea how hard it actually was until the past few years and I won’t touch it with a 10′ pole!!
Love it!!
I absolutely love the color and the symbol. It is fabulous!
It may inspire me to get my act in gear and finish the sweater I started last April! You can’t blame me though – who wants to knit a sweater once it starts to get hot!
it looks GREAT–better than that black and white motif! the color is perfect.
i’m about 4 inches from the armholes on my vest–the three of us are going to be fab in our handknits!!!
