i love that hat. very cute. i think some sort of star wars related project is on my list of things to do soon. also, am i mistaken, or is your icon the fire monument in london? i have a picture from the top of the stairs there very similar to your icon pic.

That's neat...how exactly DO you do intarsia in the round? If you could point me to a tutorial if you don't feel like explaining, that would rock!

how exactly DO you do intarsia in the round? 

You don't, at least not well.  The best way to do a hat with a chart like this one is to do it flat and then seam it up the back!

What a full time job will do to knitting and Craftster related posting! I am so glad that school is out for a while.

is your icon the fire monument in london?

Yes, it is from the top of the Monument . . . no one has ever asked about it before so it kind of surprised me that anyone would recognize it. Going up with fine, but coming down is when I get vertigo and shaky.

how exactly DO you do intarsia in the round?

You can do it in the round, but I was really impatient and didn't feel like following the directions. If you do a Google search, or search on Interweave's site, you might be able to find a copy of the Interweave mag with the directions (I am going to say I think it was in the winter 2003 edition). It involves knitting to the design, then knitting back the other way, while knitting in the middle . . . knitting flat then stitching up the back makes more sense.

Funny to see this thread resurface after two years, I finally got around to using the chart myself!  Made this hat for a friend who's a big star wars fan, the insignia was done in Night Lights, glow in the dark yarn!
