@DoctorKnitting
I bought this kit to make from WEBS but haven't tackled it yet.

Is this Intarsia (left)? Not familiar with the term, but I taught myself knitting a few years ago and love trying new projects that offer new techniques.

I've made a couple of ski sweaters, but I think that's fair isle? And I can never get the tension right. too tight. And I hate the tangle yarn.

So I answered "other" because I don't think I've tackled intarsia yet.

...I use YouTube every time I need to learn a new stitch or technique or refresh my memory for things like kitchener stitch or provisional cast-on or brioche...stuff like that.... there are a few videos on intarsia...and now I see the difference from fair isle.
