Sergio has finished his first Phrancko Sweater. As you may know, the Phrancko Sweater pattern is for a plain Stockinette stitch sweater in one color of yarn. But it lends itself to be the base for designers to add their own ideas and Sergio has created an amazing design. He used intarsia to create a contrasting color square on the front and several on the back and he worked a Japanese cable design into the square on the front.
To learn to work instarsia in the round, he watched my playlist on the subject:

Then he also found this article to help with tension on the vertical edges of the intarsia patches:

As usual we also talked about many other things. Will showed us the sock he has patched a hole in and gave us this link to the video where he learned how to do that:
