Exorcising Cursed Yarn

Once upon a time I bought 11 skeins of Cascade 220 for two different felted bag projects. Both were intarsia patterns of my own design. One was easy, one was hard.
I knit up the easy intarsia bag. I charted the hard intarsia pattern.
And then I stopped.
Because you know what? I hate felting. And I hate intarsia. And simultaneously inflicting both on myself not just once, but twice? Clearly I’d gone cuckoo in the head.
