Who's the Fairest of them all?

The Christmas season is multi-faceted and on the one hand you have glitz and glam and on the other you have traditional and reserved but somewhere in the middle is fun and funky and hey, what would Christmas be without some hilarity!  One of my personal faves apart from the ugly Christmas sweater with it's parties and contests, is the Nordic Fair Isle pattern.  To me, this is the quintessential Christmas sweater pattern.  The beauty about the modern Fair Isle pattern is that they come in two tone, two to three colours or full-out traditional multi-coloured gloriousness - yup, that's a word!  Here are some sweaters I hand picked to show you the multi-dimensional Fair Isle pattern:



















I'm so thrilled about the selection available out there and as you can see you can have a little or a whole lot of this pattern.  You can easily adapt this pattern for work or play so don't be afraid to spread a little Christmas cheer.  You can sport just-a-touch or go big and make it a full-on Fair Isle attack!  After all, you know who's the Fairest of them all - you!

Happy Shopping!
