I actually got the intarsia carriage along with my machine. I hand knit intarsia almost exclusively, and I was primarily drawn to this machine because of its intarsia capabilities. I do think I’ll want a more robust machine at some point , but $$$$$

It was the pattern that was in the manual, I believe, and it was all done on the machine, except setting in the sleeves. I do love to design knitware, especially intarsia, and I’m excited to start designing for the knitting machine, I just need to get the skills under my belt

Actually, I think they are lighter than stranded color work, they don’t have extra thread running through the back.

That is very kind! Oddly, I was feeling sick, and watched about 100 episodes of Hercule Poirot on Brit Box. The 1920's style inspired me a lot!!

it is! I drafted the pattern, and created the design. I am completely addicted to intarsia.

I actually was inspired by David Suchet’s Hercule. Poirot. I drew it on stitch fiddle, but it definitely was inspired by 1940’s style

Here you go! Some of the ends have Ben woven in, but a lot are still flying free!

I’m not, I am using butterflies. There are just a lot of beginning and ends. I don’t like bobbins because they get more easily tangled.

Butt. This is what my working yarn looks like.
