Mosaic knitting, it is one of those techniques that seems to go unnoticed most of the time. If you are not familiar mosaic knitting, it is a slip stitch technique that utilizes two colors. Row 1 is a series of knits (rarely purls) and stitches slipped with the yarn in back. Row 2 is work in the same color and each stitch is worked as it was on row 1. Stitches of the same color are knit and stitches of the "other" color are slipped with yarn in front (wrong side of the work). Rows 3 & 4 would be similar, but worked in the second color.
The reason I bring this up is that you can create some really beautiful and complex looking patterns in a relatively simple manner utilizing the mosaic knitting technique. Recently, I just completed the first project in a three project series on working with colors in a variety of ways (a new Class In A Bag project). The project is a simple eyeglass case, but the pattern makes it a really interesting finished piece of work!
If you haven't tried mosaic color work it really is easy, interesting and fun!
