Although I have not tried my hand at domino knitting yet, I think it looks absolutely fascinating. The gist of the technique goes something like this: The squares are mitered garter stitch. Each square is attached to the previous one.
Using a connect-as-you-go pattern means you can use two or more colors without having to sew the little pieces together. The visual effect is that of diamond shapes strung point to point.
This looks like a great way to use up your stash or to blend selected colors in a simple and interesting way.
A couple of library books that explain the technique are:
Knit to Be Square: Domino Designs to Knit and Felt by Vivian Hoxbro and
Modular Knits: New Techniques for Today's Knitters by Iris Schreier
Happy crafting,
