We now jump ahead. The reason is because I never actually carry the mosaic knitting book with me. Instead, I take pictures of the patterns with my phone, and just carry my phone around instead. But what happens, then, when you misplace your copy of the book? And you don’t have a picture of the next pattern? Why, you call up your mother, who happens to have her own copy of the book, and ask her to send you a few patterns while you go in search of your book. In my vast experience, such events are most likely to occur when moving house. For future, I would recommend taking pictures of the next 10 or so patterns before moving.
So now we’re skipping ahead to pattern 10. The yarn is Panda Silk (52% bamboo, 43% superwash merino, 5% combed silk), and showed up at the same time that the book went missing (a gift from that wonderful mother of mine). The colors are what I had, rather than a purposeful choice. Hopefully someone with the appropriately sized foot will like them. I was pleased that the contrast is high enough that the pattern shows up nicely.
