I haven’t been on in a long time and this is the first thing I have knit in many months. Been doing other things. But my granddaughter asked me to make a blanket for the baby she is expecting in December so I had to get back at it. I wanted to use yarn I had on hand so needed something with more than one color. I went with mosaic patterns. They are in one of Barbara Walker’s stitch books. I’ve never done much with mosaic before, but this was kind of fun. This is just good ole Red Heart, but I think it worked up nicely and is nice and soft after a wash and run through the dryer.
Mosaic for anyone who might not know kind of has a result like stranded knitting, but it isn’t. You never work with more than one color in a row and get the color change effect by slipping stitches.
Congratulations on your soon to arrive grandbaby! He or she is lucky to have such a gorgeous blanket and a grandmomma who loves them enough to knit it!
Hi Judy! So nice to see you here again! I’ve missed you, and your wonderful work, a lot! This crib blanket is yet another masterpiece of knitting, as is all of your work! Very resourceful, too! Here we are, knitting for great-grandchildren! Where does the time go?
Thanks, Claire, I’ll try to remember. I don’t know when it will be available here in Podunk, WA. LOL I found there are a few books about knitting available for ereaders even.
