Hello and welcome to the sixth installment of the the Sock Knitter’s Almanach: November!
For the new kids on the block, the Sock Knitter’s Almanac is Tricot & Stitch’s informal monthly yarn club. Each month you’ll discover a new colorway inspired by the month theme and a suggested sock pattern to knit, to expend your sock knitter’s experience and have fun!
This month, Autumn inspired me. Not a precise theme, more of a feeling associated with the season. Trees changing colours, a hot cup of tea after a walk in the woods, cozying up on the couch with my knitting and Netflix… The Pinterest moodboard will have you grab your needles, your audiobook and nestle in your favorite armchair. Here’s a peak:
The colorway I created based on this inspiration is “Cozy Season”:
“Cozy Season” starts with a beige base on which I layered warm greys, browns, burgundy and copper tones. commence par une base beige sur laquelle j’ai ajouté des tons de gris chauds, du marron, du bordeaux et du cuivre. I then added a generous layer of speckles.
I’m offering this colorway as a pre-order on 10 bases this month : BFL Fingering, Stellina Fingering, Extrafine Sock 3ply, MCN Fingering, Lurex Fingering, Extrafine Fingering HT, Polwarth Fingering, Extrafine Fingering, Mohair & Soie and Extrafine DK.
The pattern I choose to pair with “Cozy Season” is the “Grimoires” pattern by me! It’s a very simple toe up sock pattern with a stitch pattern evocative of books on shelves. The heel is of my own design, the “talon souligné” and comes with a video tutorial. The pattern is available in French on Ravelry. The English version will be uploaded by the end of the month.
In my latest podcast episode, Inspirations S3 Ep8, I’m presenting the '“Cozy Season” colorway as well as the pattern of the month in more details. You can check it here and order your skein in the Etsy shop below, in the '“Almanach” section.
Happy knitting!
