It only took one cycle in the washing machine to get it felted. That Berroco Alpaca felts really well, and is heavenly to work with. I did most of the smaller areas in duplicate stitch.
lessons learned:
- Always duplicate stitch smaller intricate areas of intarsia. I tried to do intarsia at the top of the motif and that was a bear.
- To make the knitting easier I enlarged the chart by 200%. Since I don't have access to a copy machine I just opened the pdf file at Berroco.com and then enlarged the image. When I went to print out under print range I selected "current view" to get it to print out enlarged.
