Pattern Description:

Random fact about me: I LOVE paisley. I don't know why, but I do and have done for a long time now. I am also determined to figure out how to knit cables in a paisley pattern to make myself a cardigan with the design. Alas, I have yet to figure it out (but I WILL!!!). In the mean time, this design sort of reminded me of paisley (hence the name).

It's a top-down sock, with no cabling involved. It's all twisted stitches, increases and decreases. Yet it swirls around quite nicely if I do say so myself.
