Amazing Gryffindor Bag

EE KCAL Project

I am making nice progress on my Swap Bag, in between socks of course. I love this slip stitch motif knitting technique. It looks like the more complicated stranded colorwork or intarsia knitting, but is just a simple slipping of stitches of one color in the row.

Hmm, I would like to learn this. What is this technique called. It looks lovely.

Slip Stich Motif or Mosaic knitting, you can look at the original Knitty.com pattern to get the basics.

I also found a book of motifs that uses this technique.
