Finished Copper Queen this evening. Its a cute little ponchette with a southwest-themed intarsia border, (I love all things Southwest). It's a little snug and the bottom rolls up like crazy. I should have taken a pic before frogging.
I've ripped back to one row before I want to add the increases, then in the video I'm putting the stitches back on the needle as I rip back the last (bad) row.
But I have a plan. I'm ripping back to add another round of increases to bring to size Large (240sts), then knitting to 12 inches in length from cast on (instead of 9") before starting the colorwork. Also plan to finish with k1p1 ribbing because the reverse stockinette rolls up over the intarsia no matter what you do. (But it IS cute, so I gave it a try.)
4th round of increases: K4, [(RLI, K9) 23 times], RLI, K5. 240 sts.
BTW, the intarsia part took several evenings, because it grew monontonous. (angry face)
