5) Purple flower throw pillow - Not really an abandoned project, its just that its taking soooo long. I do a few rows every now and again but its very fiddly and isnt as relaxing as some of my other projects. This is my first attempt at Intarsia knitting which involves making a pattern using multiple coloured yarns. Every coloured section has its own length of wool and to prevent making holes and keep all the sections together you have to twist the yarns when you change colour sections. For this design there are a lot of lengths to work with and its difficult enough to keep them all untangled.

On the plus side, I think once its finished it will look very good. All the other sections are made. Just waiting on this final, difficult section.
