Your videos are so informative for this new knitter. When you are new, it is really appreciated when someone points out what is really important or not. I frog enough as it is. I have your Mosaic book and have watched most technique videos. Aren't we fortunate to have UA-cam
'No Mr. Bond, I Expect You to Die' is gorgeous! Man, don't I wish I could really knit already! Thank you for all of your great explanations on everything you share with us...🤗🥰
Thank you so much for telling about Intarsia ,stranded and mosaic!!! It's what I've been wanting to do but putting it off. Now I I feel better about trying it! 😊
T remember when my boys was little, a friend of Mums made my eldest a Thomas the Tank Engine sweater and I thought I would make a his friend one to match. I followed the sweater as I didn't have the pattern. Didn't know that you was supposed to twist the stitches so I had this jumper that I'd worked so, so hard on that all I can describe as holes all the way through it. Oh I was so gutted and so upset. But I managed to save it by see stitching the sides of the train etc to the next piece. This was way before UA-cam was around but I so wish it had been and that your knowledge had been passed on to me 🙄🙄 Great video. Stay safe and healthy. xxJane
WOW! Thank you for this clear explanation. Not so scary as I used to think. I will try colourwork for my next project. I think mosaic sounds good for a beginner.
Oooh, that's interesting. I know that there are ways to do it but every time I try to read about it my mind just kinda gives up. It would probably make sense on the needles but I am unmotivated LOL.
The only intarsia I've done was in the round. Was fun as it was was mixed with mosaic as well. I think it might be easier then working flat as all you need is one ball of each color. Vletta by Sabine Kastner.
Hey Barbara, thank you for explaining the different types of color work.. I've seen a few clothing articles that are stranded and I'm a bit of a klutz, I always pull it or get it snagged. That is my least favorite type. When I first started knitting my family bought me different supplies and they bought a bunch of bobbins. I never quite knew what to do with them. So now I know how they are used for. I love the mosaic color work. It appears to be the easiest way to do color work. Although I would like to try some intarsia. Would you please do an example of steak stitches or steek stitches, however you say it? The idea of cutting +[=( in the round to make a flat piece terrifies me and yet at the same time I'm curious. Thank you for another informative video. Hope your life is beginning to return to normal.
I am so busted! I have never actually cut a steek or knit something that needed a steek. I will think on what I can do and maybe we'll do a video so y'all can see my first time LOL!
@@WatchBarbaraKnit I don't blame you for not trying it. I'd be scared to do something and then cut my work up. But I would love to see it. Thanks again for your wonderful and educational videos Barbara I learned a lot and really enjoy them.
Can you use the mosaic technique (in the round) with a stranded colorwork pattern? I can't find this answer anywhere. Logic tells me i could simply work every round in the pattern twice, once in each of the two colours (slipping stitches when needed). But I don't know if that will work... When i see mosaic pattern they look different. An answer would be so very helpful! Love all the way from Denmark
I'm not going to tell you 100% no that it isn't possible, because who knows what you might figure out. But in my experience they do not translate particularly well. Mosaic does not do large patches of solid well and there are limits to the technique because if there isn't a color there to slip you can't slip it.
Hi Barbara, love ya and your very informative videos, you're a good explainer (teacher). my question is, is it possible to knit mosaic with more than 2 colors??? and if so, how? Please reply and thank you in advance
I'm sure you could do that if you wanted. It would work the same as striping something with 3 colors. You just work different stripes in different colors!
Fernando Nogueira In mosaic you’re only working with one color at a time and you are knitting stripes. The only color you would be able to skip would be whatever color that you used for the previous stripe. At any given time there would only be 2 colors interacting.
@@WatchBarbaraKnit ahh ok thank you. See... you're brilliant!!

Merhaba Barbara, mozaik teknik harika yine renkleri çok güzel kullanmışsın.Şal benim için çok önemli bu yüzden çeşitli örnekler denemek istiyorum.Senin de çok çeşitli modellerin var. Bunlardan inşaALLAH yavaş yavaş deneyeceğim. Senden bana başarmam için dua etmeni istiyorum . Sağlıklı ve mutlu ol hoşçakal.
And I'm just the opposite. I've done intarsia and stranded, but not mosaic. Managing two or three balls of yarn isn't that bad, it's wrangling five at once for a scarf that gets ridiculous. I've also done a very basic form of shadow/illusion knitting (just blocks of color), and two color brioche. I know from one of your other videos that you don't do brioche knitting, but it makes for a warm and light weight scarf (needed in Minnesota). Still trying to get "caught up" on your videos...
I hope you are enjoying the catching up LOL. I think brioche produces absolutely lovely pieces, but Florida might just be the total opposite of Minnesota LOL!
Sigh. Your hair is still curly. My hair is now straight. That's the difference between having actually curly hair and having wavy hair that can be made to curl with the right haircut (2 months overdue) and products. Oh well.

Thank you! I was thinking about the newer knitter with this video. It can be tough when you don't even know what questions to ask!
I consider frogging as progress. I’ve learned something and I’m going back so I can use it.
Seriously it took me FOREVER to find an explanation of how these are different. THANK YOU.
I'm so glad it was helpful! Have fun knitting color.
Barbara, you are great. Thank you for so clearly explaining colour work to us all. Brilliantly taught. 🥰
Thank you so much!
Great intro for a new knitter to decide which to try.
Glad you like it!
'No Mr. Bond, I Expect You to Die' is gorgeous! Man, don't I wish I could really knit already! Thank you for all of your great explanations on everything you share with us...🤗🥰
Thank you! It is one of my favorites for a variety of reasons - not all of which are related to the design LOL.
@@WatchBarbaraKnit LOL - Niiiice❣
'Ready Player One', 'Confundo'; I love all of your work. You are so talented... Thank you again...🤗🥰
Your explanation of Intarsia work has finally made sense to me! Thank you soooo much
I'm so glad! Sometimes it just takes a couple of different ways of explaining until someone hits your learning style.
I learn so much from you! Thank you!
That is great to hear. Which style do you like best?
Again learnt a lot 👍🏻 thank you
Glad to hear that!
I have been wondering! Thanks so much for the explanations.
Happy to help!
Thank you for your video. I have been looking for the differences between intarsia, stranded and mosaic .
Glad it was helpful!
Terrific explanation of these 3 types of knitting! Thank you, Barbara! Hope you are staying well and keeping sane.💜🧶
Thank you! You too!
Great explanation! Thanks!
You're welcome!
Great explanation!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much for telling about Intarsia ,stranded and mosaic!!! It's what I've been wanting to do but putting it off. Now I I feel better about trying it! 😊
That is exactly what I was hoping for! Go out and try it, it's just yarn and needles.
OMGOODNESS so so GORGEOUS but so much more than my skill level ☺💆🏼♀️🤫💯♥️♥️♥️♥️😁Thank you for sharing this AMAZING video with us sweetie 💋🦋🙏🏼😷
Can you knit stripes? If you can knit stripes then you are one tiny, baby step away from mosaic. Don't sell yourself short!
@@WatchBarbaraKnit 😘👍🏼
Good discussion Barbara, thank you.
That is great to hear!

That had to have been so frustrating. But you fixed it!

You can do it!
MUY ÚTIL! very useful!! thanks, gracias!!
I'm so glad it was useful!
Good information... .. I’ve wintered about the different types of colorwork techniques.
There are definitely more, but I tried to hit what I think of as the "big three".
I do this in cables, but you often wind bobbins. Mom knitted with as many as a dozen on one sweater front
That's amazing!
Thanks for the explanation. I like mosaic, the others are way to advanced for me. I have watched and saved your other episode on mosaic.
Excellent! I have to admit I stick to mosaic - mostly because I'm lazy LOL.
Great explanations
Glad you liked it
thank you so much. this is a really great video.
Glad it was helpful!
Fab and informative video, as ever! I've actually done some intarsia in the round - involving "knitting back backwards," which is pretty amazing.
Oooh, that's interesting. I know that there are ways to do it but every time I try to read about it my mind just kinda gives up. It would probably make sense on the needles but I am unmotivated LOL.

That's super cool. I am constantly amazed by the imaginative patterns other designers come up with.
