Avery update

I’ve been working on a little of everything lately, but wanted to let you know how Avery is coming along. I’ve finished the front and blocked both the front and back. As you can see, I like to join the shoulder seam(s) before blocking. This size will have a button placket on the left shoulder to make the neck opening larger for those big headed babies, so the left shoulder seams isn’t joined.

I like the contrasting colours that are happening in the corrugated ribbing at the hem. I also like the colours I chose for the colour blocks.

My intarsia needs a bit of work. It’s currently the bain of my existence. It seems the more I try to fix the uneven left-hand edge of the colour change areas, the worse it gets. I ordered a booklet on intarsia that is supposed to be the authority on intarsia. It arrived with my Elann order and I haven’t had a chance to read through it yet. It’s called Intarsia: A Workshop for Hand & Machine Knitting by Sherry and Keely Stuever of Sealed With A Kiss. I’m hoping it will solve all my problems!
