Your patterns are amazing. Thank you. I've been knitting for about 10 years and I never have a day without knitting something. I'm definitely going to try the mosaic scarf pattern, then the socks. Thanks for sharing.
I love the slip stitch patterns
For the Greek Mosaic Beanie in the photo, did you use a variegated yarn for the CC, or did you use several different colors for your CC?
Leah, thanks for writing in! It appears to be a variegated yarn. You might check the pattern (alas, it's not mine) and see if she's included details about the yarns she used. If not, you might message her through Ravelry for more info.
Ooops, forgot to add, do you have to make a new join of the CC every time it's called for, or is it a fair isle type of pattern where you keep both the MC and CC attached throughout the whole pattern?
Good question. No new joins, thankfully. When knitting mosaic patterns, you'll carry the yarn up the back until it's called for again. Cutting the yarn just leads to a ton of tails to weave in and no one wants to do that. Cheers!
Phew! I'm so glad to hear that! Not much worse than a million ends to weave in! Thank you so much for your quick replies!!
