Mosaic knitting is an easy colorwork technique to make stunning pieces. In mosaic knitting, only one color of yarn is used at a time and the colors alternate every two rows. Only certain stitches are worked in each row while the rest are slipped, which creates beautiful geometric patterns and fun accent rows. In this workshop, we’ll make several swatches based upon the mosaic patterns in the Grand Junction shawl and you’ll receive a copy of the pattern so that you will have all the tools to knit the shawl after the class is finished. We’ll discuss tips and tricks for keeping the yarn floats on the wrong side of the work loose and for choosing color combinations that pop.

Emily Wood Designs
Emily learned to knit three times -- once when she was a kid, once during college, and finally about five years after that. The last time, it stuck. She's been designing knitting patterns since 2011 and tries to hit the sweet spot with patterns that are fun and engaging to knit, but also easy to understand. Her patterns have appeared in Interweave Knits, Knit Now, Knitty, and collections by KnitPicks, SweetGeorgia Yarns, and Miss Babs Yarn.
She is an active member of the Creative Knitting Guild in Maryland and has taught workshops up and down the east coast, including at Rhinebeck, Maryland Sheep and Wool, the Georgia Mountain Needle Arts Festival, and the Unwind Getaway in North Carolina.
