Cables are fun and Intarsia is cool – so what happens when you combine the two skills? You can create some spectacular knits! These two skills work beautifully together and allow knitters to really show off their skills by combining two techniques. Learn how to cleanly work cables while also working intarsia and tips for keeping your color changes clean. Tips on how to incorporate this skill into preexisting designs will also be discussed.
