Wild Strawberry Blossoms

May 25, 2011 by Mary Jane 11 Comments

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!

    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.
