A couple of weeks ago, I finished this mosaic shawl. I love the way it turned out, and it was a good use of random skeins of yarn that were languishing in my stash.
@wordridden And the fact that mosaic motifs offer infinite possibilities is awesome.
I actually converted a stranded yoke sweater to slip stitch a few years back, and it did sort of work out. My tension was still off, but that sweater could have used more short row shaping in the neckline to lay flat.
I eventually ripped out the whole sweater.
@mostlybadfly Thank you! I did release another all-over mosaic shawl a bit ago. I didn’t have it test knit or tech edited, though. It was more of an exercise in pattern development.
If you’re on Ravelry, you can snag it for free.
This is a beautiful pattern stitch - just the kind I'm looking for at the moment. Though it might end up on a loop / cowl
I agree. And also extremely beautiful. I'm now working on a sweater which uses mosaic transitions between colours. Very satisfying.
I think so. It is written with larger parts of colour in between the transitions, but I'm thinking you could leave those out and just do more transitions. I might try doing one with mini skeins from an advent calendar.
But I'm testing the pattern, it's not yet published.
Dope knitting!
