I like to learn new techniques, as anyone who reads this blog regularly will know. So when I came across Rebekah Yeager's instructions for a pattern created by slipping some stitches and knitting others, I was keen to try it out. The pattern is a free download on Ravelry called Turkish Tiles, a slip stitch dishcloth... Two rows are knitted with each colour in succession, which means that you're only working with one yarn at a time. .It took a while for the pattern to 'emerge', I almost gave up. I persisted and am glad I did, because eventually I could see the pattern. How does the other side look?
The pattern is more subtle, but still there.
Seems to have quite some texture? I like it !!!
ReplyDeleteYes, it is quite textured.
ReplyDeleteA pretty combination of two shades of blue.
ReplyDeleteThis is great! I'm not a good knitter. I have a friend who knitted me some lovely dish clothes that I use every day - simply great! I'll send her this link. She would like the pattern.
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome!!! :)
ReplyDeleteAnd I love the colors!!! :)
It’s really pretty and the two shades of blue do a good job of bringing out the pattern.
ReplyDeleteI love this, and wonder if you couldn't sew all your samples together and Make a super cute sweater or blanket like a "coat of many colors" 😊
ReplyDeleteI did see a blanket pattern very similar to this, but I think your multicolour version is a better idea.
DeletePretty pattern! It had escaped my eagle eye but thanks to you it is now safely saved in my Rav favourites. I love mosaic knitting too, it's very addictive. I'm now experimenting with mosaic crochet... which is just as addictive!
ReplyDeleteLovely dishcloth. I'm knitting the Squiggle-Dot (slipped stitches) pattern from Ravelry. https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/squiggle-dot
ReplyDeleteThanks, I might try that one too!
DeleteThat's Mosaic knitting isn't it? I keep meaning to buy the Barbara Walker Anthology which has these designs, it fascinates me. I think you have to concentrate, but you don't have to cope with multiple colours all tangling up.
ReplyDeleteThe pattern didn’t use that term, so I’ve learnt something thanks to the comments here!
DeleteHi Maureen, Barbara Walker's book is a wonderful resource and I am happy I bought it. As for concentration, most mosaic patterns are geometrical so the first rows/rounds do require concentration but then logic and symmetry come to your rescue and you can relax. Another book I'd recommend is Barbara Benson's Mosaic & Lace Knits. That's another Barbara :) and her patterns are gorgeous, plus she gives detailed info about Mosaic, what yarn to chose, etc. One of my 3 favourites in my knitting book library!
