So many flowers, so little time.
The intarsia is getting easier with time (don't get me started with weaving in the ends) and the chart reading is not too terrible. The book's chart is just about as microscopic as it gets and required a bit of enlarging on the printer, but now it is large enough to read easily and is symmetrical, which means that I can go the wrong way on the chart and not have to get angry and frog. Yay for considerate charting!
I admit that I attempted the Russian Join in an effort to avoid weaving in the ends (which is why I had to frog the first attempt), but it just did not work out for me (it was more trouble setting it up than it was worth). It might be that there were too many spools to start and this yarn is too skinny to attempt it. I imagine that with a thicker yarn and less spools to incorporate it would have gone better. Some other project, perhaps...
