my take

on intarsia.i am knitting the needles instead of how it is supposed to be done.this is actually because the other yarn is fishline and i can knit a pass on the white yarn without it being shown. this is very slow knitting bcse there are transfers involved  and 2 different yarns one of them problematic.

slow knitting has given me mental time to quiet down and think.have come to the conclusion that my

issues with the workshop and its leader come from the fact that i've been working in my studio on my own for a very long time. if what is being done is not new to me i take off on my own, if it's new and by  someone who i recognize as knowledgeable i sit, listen and learn.

there are many on line resources and tribillion books to have to deal with iffy knowledge.

done

the pants. always surprised at how huge they look.very please with how they turned out

the color in the photo is off they're a dark royal blue, almost but not quite navy.

i still have some fabric left over for a top, but will have to knit the sleeves as the fabric is not  enough for them. will be a fun project. yes something to qualm my ads bcse i still havent pieced  together the gillet. ಠ ಠ 

working my ads with a daily wordle.

take the good and ignore the bad

c'mon, you're old enough to be able to do that, the stamping workshop i'm taking is testing me.

the leader is the kind of person that reprimands you if you color outside the line; she even picks up the colors for you( insert expletive) ⋋__⋌

the good part is that it gives me some discipline and once i get going i come up with new ideas.

she wasn't particularly happy that i ripped the first sample into quarters  and tried some more stamping using the same potato stamp, adding the teal blue and rioting on the last two.

the original number was photo above left, which to my taste was too uniform and boring.

 every time i take a workshop i realize that teaching is hard task that not every one can do. we haven't come to the explanations part, my pet peeve, but we will eventually.
