I have spent the past three years knitting birthday scarves and felted purses for each of the 72 staff members at my library. I have tried to use a different yarn, technique or stitch with each scarf. I have included patterns for the scarves on my blog. When this project is done I'll start to knit more ambitious projects.

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.
