Intarsia in the Round

The knitting books will tell you, "You can't do intarsia knitting in the round." Well, I'm always ready to defy authority, so I did this felted tote with intarsia accents in the round.

You can do intarsia in the round. What the knitting experts should tell you is , "You really shouldn't do intarsia in the round." You really shouldn't. It's too hard. However, this tote pattern can easily be done flat and seamed up the side. The strap and flapcan be worked after the seaming is done. There are so many posssibilities for felted intarsia, I'll have to do more.

I will do more, only not in the round.

I really love this tote.
