Kidsilk Diamonds

Here’s a tanktop I made using Rowan’s Kidsilk Haze wool. In the dreaded intarsia technique. Took quite a long time, but looks really good, infinitely better than in the photo, I might add, which shows all the flaws in my shoddy knitting, but I haven’t yet been bothered enough to take another one.
