I really almost lost it.<br /><br />And I've always thought of intaglio/inset when I talk/read about intarsia. Looks like "tarsi" is Arabic, and "tarsia" Italian, according to dictionary.com.Kathleen Dameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08841043417898798256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21397483.post-60237280599730265462011-09-05T12:38:22.804-05:002011-09-05T12:38:22.804-05:00Thanks for posting this!

Excellent explanations, and I agree that it's annoying to have the terms misused so casually. <br />I hate knitting intarsia too, but there are things I can't get any other way, so I grit my teeth & carry on. You didn't mention triple-stranding, which is particularly loathesome. But, again...sigh. There's a gorgeous mitten (adapted by moi from a glove pattern) that I long to wear, and I'll have to bite the bullet to get them. Sigh. But after that, I swear, never again.Emilynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21397483.post-81784263803680935992011-09-05T08:50:31.711-05:002011-09-05T08:50:31.711-05:00Thank you!!
