Tortured title, for sure! My latest FO was a challenging, fun knit! It is the Snowflake Vest, and it involved dreaded intarsia. Ugh!
The yarn is Sandnes Garn Kos, a blown yarn. I know you want to see the inside:
Dozens and dozens of ends. But that is the price you pay for knitting intarsia. 
I love it. It’s cute and cozy and Christmasy. I hope all of you are almost ready for the holidays, because the clock is ticking!!
PS to Lisa and others: Blown yarn is actually a knitted tube (like i-cord) that is filled with wool fluff. Examples are Luft, Snefnug, and Cantata. The theory is less pilling, but I’m not sure that’s always true. It is nice to knit with, and joins well if you know how. I’ve used this type of yarn on several projects.
PS2 to Pam: I was afraid someone would ask me that! Basically, you use a tapestry needle to thread one end through the other for several inches. It’s hard to describe the final step, but this Belfair project has pictures that kind of show what I do.
Super cute! Such a beautiful red.

Really impressive. I have yet to try intarsia.
I had not heard of blown yarns. Very interesting!
Best wishes for knitting through 2025!

So festive! Next obvious question— “It joins well if you know how”. How?

The one day I don’t look at your blog (Christmas rush). Love this! What a gorgeous “wrong” side! Chloe

Well, this is just too darned (no pun intended) cute! And such a welcome change from the usual Christmas/winter designs. Beautifully knitted, of course.
