Have you been intrigued by the beautiful knit Pressed Flowers and The Shift Cowl patterns? Both are worked with mosaic, or slip stitch, colour techniques! In this 3-hour introduction, we’ll try a couple of different mosaic styles and give you the experience you need to jump right into those beautiful patterns. Your swatches can be used as mug coasters! (Optional – for thicker coasters, you can sew on a piece of wool felt as backing - I'm using pieces of a felted wool sweater). I’ll also demonstrate the Chain Cast-on, which results in a cast on edge that matches the standard bind off.
