Recently I saw several "mosaic knitting" projects on YouTube. One was a gorgeous shawl by Andrea Mowry. I had done a tiny bit of mosaic knitting when I knit the Barbara Walker Learn To Knit Afghan a few years ago. I gave that one away and am now working on another iteration of the afghan to finish up the yarn that was left over. I am just beginning the mosaic/slipped stitch patterns.
Since I saw that shawl, and also the Pressed Flowers Shawl by Amy Christoffers I got hyped up to work on mosaic. This picture below is my first try:
The colorwork is so easy as you only work with one strand at a time...and you knit stitches in the "new" color and slip the stitches in the other color to make up the pattern. Using a variegated yarn gives even different effects.
This is going to be a little bag. I think the next one I try will be knit in the round. Knitting flat is fine. I just have to mattress stitch it together...! Mattress stitch is not my best work....
