Sitting and Knitting

One of my favorite times of day is Movie Time, which comes at night after the day's work is done.

I use this down time to catch up on personal projects, and lately that means knitting.  Ever since finishing my first sweater a few months ago, I've been on a roll.  And now, I finally figured out how to knit intarsia (i.e. words and pictures)!

This is a game changer!

For my first go, I decided to go with a skull; as it turns out, it was fairly easy.  
I finished this 16" X 11" panel in about 5 hours (four or five 'Game of Thrones' episodes.)

I used the navy and oatmeal yarn I had left-over from knitting my new favorite cardigan:
