Do you have an example of working the two styles, for a beginner to full see and understand? I've started as a loom knitter and I've only got one project under my belt, but the knitting of the rows twice is kind of confusing.
For example ok the sample with the green decorative stitches on the second working of the row are the pink parts slipped in multiple or worked as well?

[@HeatherStorta]

Hi! I don't have an example yet - I'll add that to my video queue!
In the pink/green slipped stitch example, yes - when working with the green yarn, the pink stitches are all slipped - so the three pink sts grouped would all be slipped, and you'll end up with a green strand running across the back where those three sts were slipped. Then on the return row, you would slip them again (if the pattern calls for it, slipped stitch knitting can have different stitches slipped on the wrong side rows, but I believe this particular pattern did have those three slipped again on the wrong side.) I hope that helps a bit! I'll try to get videos showing how to work these techniques up soon!

Love your video. Is there a way to take any chart and turn it into a slip mosaic knit pattern?

[@HeatherStorta]

Hmm, not all charts would be conducive to that - mosaic charts are very geometric, so it would need to originally be something that falls in line with that.

I love the green/pink slipstitch pattern. Where can I get the instructions for this stitch / pattern? Is there a name for this pattern

[@HeatherStorta]

Hi! That's called the "thorn" stitch pattern and you can find it in Barbara Walker's Second Treasury on page 97 (and possibly in some other stitch dictionaries.)

Hi Miss Heather, I am a new knitter and have also designed my first pattern. It is in the testing phase right now and I have always been curious. How does one design a mosaic? For example, if I want to design a mosaic with a particular motif, I struggle with where to put the slipped stitches. I have already designed a motif by drawing it on graph paper, but I am unable to figure it out. It could be the actual design itself, or it could be my inability to figure it out. Do you have a Facebook or an Instagram? If you do, and you’re comfortable with me messaging you a picture of my design, I would be super happy to message it to you. Thank you so very much.

[@HeatherStorta]

Hi! I would be happy to see it and try to give advice. I am on both Facebook and Instagram, and you are welcome to email me, my contact info is on my RUclips channel details.

What pattern is the pink and green swatch?

[@HeatherStorta]

That is the "thorn" stitch pattern, I found it in Barbara Walker: Second Treasury, page 97.
