I love the way water twists and turns through the marshes of the Blackwater Wildlife Refuge on the Chesapeake Bay. I wanted to re-create this complex region in fiber using mosaic stitch. It looks complex but uses only one color at a time across a row. Blackwater Mosaic Pullover combines stockinette with mosaic knitting in this standard-fitting pullover, worked flat from the bottom up with Mosaic charts.
