Mock: adjective, 1) Not real
I feel a duty to issue a global warning to all knitters everwhere (especially those of us who jump right into projects without reading through all of the directions first) that the word "mock" apparently does not apply to "mock cables." Imagine my shock in learning that the mock cables in Ash are cables that presumably aren't real cables but nonetheless require cable needles and cabling charts that look exactly like real cable instructions. Because they are. To the people who said, "Wow, that's a lot of cables" who I smugly rebuked with, "Yes, but they are mock cables. Isn't that clever?", I now submit an alternate definition:
Mock: 2) verb, to make fun of, to treat with ridicule
Go on. You know you want to.
