Stitches at Home

Mosaic knitting is the easygoing slip-stitch cousin of stranded colorwork. It is a fun and easy technique that brings more color into your work without the bother of stranding, trapping floats, or even holding more than one color at a time.

We’ll knit up the Bow Tie Pasta fingerless mitts as a flat fabric, and then seam them into the mitts.
Tanis will discuss the different types of colorwork, show you how to read charts, talk basic color theory, and demonstrate mattress stitch and finishing techniques.
