Not me personally. I rarely feel “foxy” any more. Sad, but true! But I do have a Foxy Hat! Knitting peep Kim brought her finished Foxy to knitting on Thursday and we L O V E D it! So adorable.

The pattern is okay, but it calls for intarsia in the round, using a shadow short row technique. I decided to try “Annetarsia” in the round, having just bought the book (Annetarsia Knits: a New Link to Intarsia by Anne Berk). This simple project seemed the perfect way to explore Anne’s brilliant technique.
It was and it wasn’t. Going one direction looked fine:
But the other did not:
Ahh, you say. It looks BETTER. Yes, it does because I seamed over the ugly. It looked a mess! I followed the pictures in the book, but this side looked awful. Anne Berk is coming to Yarnover next year and I may take her class so I can find out what I am doing wrong. 🙁
So, I am still not a fan of intarsia in the round. If I make another of these cuties (maybe Wolfie next time), I will knit each half separately and seam them. Faster and nicer looking. At least for me!!
