Faux is Fair (Cuff Down)
WORLD EXCLUSIVE

"Shifting the background and the variegated colour," says Gallimore, makes this design different from most of her other variations on the Faux Fair Isle theme. Also: "All of the patterns in this sock have the same name-- 'Hook'-- and they're all different, yet variations of each other. Anatolian motifs are just so darned interesting!" This is heartbreakingly lovely in every good way. The fair isle patterns; the braid details at cuff and ankle; the diced sole; Gallimore's favorite eye-of-partridge heel; and a star toe (no grafting!) all make a gorgeous knitting and wearing experience. This is October's Sock Of The Month for Gallimore. Subscribers get a kit; otherwise we are the exclusive pattern distributor.
