What is a Mosaic Slip Stitch?

Do you shy away from Fair Isle patterns because they seem too complicated? Then Mosaic patterns are for you! In Mosaic Knitting you never handle more than one strand at a time!
But wait...how experienced of a knitter are you? Do you know how to knit a stitch? Can you slip a stitch?
If the answer is yes - you are ready to try Mosaic Knitting! Purling is optional.
