Sun! The first in weeks. Sunny, but still not warm, so Wee Fair Isle socks are just the ticket, not too tall, but enough to keep the draft off your ankles. I especially like wearing clogs with these, because then you can see the sassy Schiaparelli pink heels. I’ve used Harrisville Shetland, which comes in a great selection of colors. I’ve done something not quite according to the fair isle “rules” … can you spot what it is? I’m all for breaking rules when it doesn’t hurt anyone.
And guess what? I’ll be teaching a Fair Isle Sock class at Vogue Knitting LIVE in LA! Yes I will…going back home to the west coast September 23-25th. You can make some socks just like this…or design your own custom pair, I’ll show you how. Plus there are all kinds of fantastic classes ( I’m teaching 2 others) and glittering “knitterati” to swoon over; Kaffe Fassett, Meg Swanson, Trisha Malcom, Nicky Epstein, Cirilia Rose, Cookie A., Clara Parkes, Mary Lynn Patrick and on and on and on!! In a week or so, I’ll be giving a way a FREE PASS to the fabulous Marketplace, held on Saturday and Sunday….so stay tuned and tell your friends!
three colours? in one row? you rebel !
Love the socks and hope the strawberries turn out to be tasty.
I know….hear my rebel yell!
LOVE the socks, but LOVIN’ the turquoise heels, too!!!
clogs, I meant clogs…pink heels on the brain….
Super cute — all of it!
Yup I see those 3 colours in one row – shame on you LOL!
Oh, for the love of Pete. The socks and shoes were made for each other, and you.
I spotted the three colors in one row, too. Must be the Peruvian influence. It looks like little emeralds!
Where did those clogs come from? Must know—pur-LEEZE!
The (color)lusty month of May put you up to three in a row. Blame it on May, like Guinevere.
So cute! I may become a sock knitter yet. And those shoes…swoon worthy.
Yes, I want the blue clogs too! And I love your blog, which I just discovered… I’m a displaced New Englander!
