Impossibly Possible

“‘There’s no use trying,’ Alice said: ‘one can’t believe impossible things.’

‘I daresay you haven’t had much practice,’ said the Queen… Why, sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.’” - Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland*

Playing with colors while knitting can be a challenge and many knitters shy away from it. Mosaic knitting is a chance to make the impossible possible… a way to give the illusion of stranded colorwork while only working one color at a time. Worked from the toe-up, these socks pair stunning gradient mini-skeins with a semi-solid neutral to create a graphic and eye-catching design. Give them a go and redefine your idea of what is possible!
