Very thorough and informative.

Hi Heather, Thank you for your informative and useful video. It coordinates well with my MHK progress. My mother was a Barbara Walker devotee and knitted a two color mosaic blanket for each of her grandchildren as they were born. I have knitted intarsia from Mary Maxim kits for shawl collar sweaters that have iconic motifs and wear like iron. They truly last for decades. Also, I have dabbled with Fair Isle mittens in the past several years but the Level 2 Wristlet nearly did me in. It took more than a dozen tries to accomplish something possibly worthy of submission. I ended up using size 3 nine inch circular needles. After that, my argyle sock took at least a many attempts and is lovely to behold. We'll see how they are judged as I am currently in the middle of my vest using your "Everyday Vest Take Two" pattern. Thank you for all that you do, J

Mary Maxim sweaters are so cool (right up my style alley, too!)-- I want to knit one of those someday!

[@deborahstrittmatter4675]

Thank you! It isnt as confusing now. Especially knowing Fair Isle is a subset or colorwork.

[@HeatherStorta]

Glad it was helpful!

[@mindykannon4650]

is your gauge smaller on mosiac than stockinnette?

[@HeatherStorta]

It can tend to be, yes - since there are slipped stitches involved, and those can bring the stitch gauge tighter. It depends on the knitter, though!

I’m learning to knit socks and I want to learn Mosaic.

[@HeatherStorta]

Have fun! Socks are fun and mosaic knitting is fun too!

[@heddabearwilliams2131]

I have tried slip stitch knitting so much fun and so easy to do, does any one know of a good pattern source site. thank you for your informative video.

[@HeatherStorta]

There are lots of slip stitch patterns in the Barbara Walker stitch dictionaries! (A Treasury of Knitting Patterns, A Second Treasury, etc.) These are the raw stitch patterns and not patterns for garments. You could sort in a Ravelry search for slip stitch patterns too, if you are looking for garment patterns.
