I also didn’t know what mosaic knitting was but here’s a simple explanation from the book:
In a nutshell, mosaic patterns are created by using one color for two rows and slipping stitches from the row below, and then switching to the other colors for two rows, slipping stitches from the previous row.

Although I don’t have a huge library it will be nice to have all my books organized.
