Here is my first attempt at slip-stitch. I think it came out pretty good. I had promised this year I would learn some sort of stranding technique and I have! I am so excited!
I really like slip stitch technique is also called mosaic knitting which was coined by Barbara Walker in 1976.
In slip stitch, one carries only one color across a row so the piece is not as bulky as some Fair Isle but it does have a sort of texture to it where the slipped stitches are used.
My next attempt is a slip stitch hat with these cats which are from Slip-Stitch Knitting - Color Pattern The Easy Way - By Roxana Bartlett.
Happy Knitting everyone!

Your cats look great, Ruinwen! I've looked at the mosaic knitting but haven't tried it yet. Might be the next technique I learn.
ReplyDeletevery cute!!
ReplyDeleteI love those cats - you're doing a terrific job! I've promised myself that I won't try those techniques as lace takes up most of my knitting time, but I think this mosaic knitting is fascinating!

Wow! Great job Ruinwen! I've never dared to try any stranded knitting.
ReplyDeleteKeep us posted on the hat!
Hugs,
Kitt - who is hurrying off to check the links in your post!
My goodness, but that's cool! Am I right in thinking that you can basically do anything that can be translated to a grid, like needlework?
ReplyDeleteGreat job, Ruinwen! Those cats are adorable!
