I pride myself for knitting intuitively and not having to follow a pattern.

Wow, Duncan, you really are a multi talented person!
that sweater is lovely, the colors have to cheer a person up when wearing it.
I am teaching 2 little kids to knit and sew, I think it is good for the soul to create with your hands and mind. To think you knit Intarsia without a pattern, that is impressive. You could be the next Kaffe Fasset.
Well done you!
