Color knitting techniques

Complex intarsia sweater - front

This sweater shows several complex color-work techniques, but I'm pretty sure that the front of it is done in basic intarsia. Notice how there are more than two colors on most rows, with large blocks of any given color. That makes it especially appropriate for the intarsia technique, which involves locking sections of knitting together by twisting the yarns as you knit them.http://www.flickr.com/photos/milele/2160153132/
