This is a bit of an exercise in patience since there is a lot of untangling to do. I think I’ve accidentally untangled some spots where I crossed the yarns to tie sections together. Oops. So now the order is untangle THEN cross yarns and knit next section. Other than those few mistakes and constant straightening of yarns, all seems to be going well if slowly.

Finally got the second sock to the heel so I can split the remaining orange yarn and do the first sock’s cuff. Slowest. Socks. Ever.

And I’m done! These took freaking forever but I gotta admit, they are pretty cool.

Using Intarsia method 3 here.

Now, having reached the left edge of the motif, you need to wrap the yellow yarn and blue yarn together, but the blue yarn is still back over on the right edge. What you’re going to do is bring the blue yarn all the way around counterclockwise in a very long strand, and lay it over the yellow yarn; don’t worry about the length of this very long strand, because we’re going to take care of it in a minute. Once you’ve laid the blue yarn over the yellow, work counterclockwise with the yellow until you’re back on the right edge of the motif. Drop the yellow strand inside the loop of blue yarn that you created in the previous step, and then use that blue strand to continue working counterclockwise through the entire blue section; pull out slack from where the end of the strand is caught by the yellow as needed. When you’ve completed the blue section and are at the left edge of the yellow motif, pull the blue strand taut, so there’s no more slack in it and it’s snug up against the yellow section. At this point, the blue strand is at the left edge of the motif, and the yellow strand is at the right edge. Draw the yellow strand loosely across the back of the yellow section, and lay it over the blue strand, and then work clockwise with the blue strand until you’re back to the right edge of the motif. Drop the blue strand through the loop of yellow, work the yellow stitches clockwise, and then pull the yellow strand taut.
