I have one of the Barbara Walker books & used to covet the other 3 of the 4 book set. I was unaware that it was possible to obtain the other 3. I'll have to check out schoolhouse press, once I determine which one I have already.

I do not own any of Barbara’s books. I have not tried mosaic knitting but certainly looks like it could become addictive.

I have never tried Mosaic knitting, it looks very interesting, and that pattern is really pretty. I do not have any Barbara G. Walker books (yet!).

I have one of Barbara Walker's books & the remaining are on my wish list. I love mosaic. I have made one of Alina Appasova's shawls using Urth and it was a gorgeous design. I think this cowl will be lovely in Spiral Grain. Great idea.

I have 0 Barbara Walker books but have heard her name before. For crochet, I can recommend the Fields of Clover shawl by LilyGo, which I made several years ago. Abbeymade has several mosaic designs. I've made the Triple T Tee and have some other designs by Abbeymade on my to-do list. Both designers' patterns are available on Ravelry.
