My first post
I’ve been knitting for 14 years. In the last few years i took pattern writing classes and made a few of my own designs. Yesterday was my 22nd wedding anniversary. I wanted a challenge. I recently bought a manual knitting flatbed. This is my second intarsia project. I took the picture from the comic book, charted it. Knit a swatch. Made my measurements. Wrote out a pattern. It’s not perfect. There are things i will change if i do another one..i’m sure i will. It took 40 hours of knitting. It’s merino/cotton yarn in dk. I love it. I’m pleased with how my hard-work paid off. I get tired of people claiming it’s just talent. I’ve worked hard to get to the point where i can fully produce my own completely handmade garment. Also calvin and hobbes merchandise is not legally available. It’s my husband’s favorite cartoon. He loves that it is a one of a kind piece that no one else will have. Feel free to give tips, but please be kind. My heart is full.
