Hello and welcome to the 2023 Sock Knitter’s Almanach, April edition.
For the new kids on the block, the Sock Knitter’s Almanac is Tricot & Stitch’s monthly colorway creation, which started in January 2021. Each month I’m creating a new colorway. Three-month subscriptions are now available in the shop!
This month I had a furious case of wanderlust. US National Parks have been on my bucket list for a while now, and I find the parks located in the south particularly fascinating. Large desertic areas, cactus, canyons, basked in pink-gold late afternoon sunshine.If you wish to join me in this revery, the Pinterest board is here.
“Rose des Sables” is the colorway for April: soft pastel undertones in yellow, pink and peach with a generous layer of multicoloured speckles. The contrasting color is “Fleur de Cactus”, a vibrant and warm yellow with orange speckles.
Preorders for both colorways are open in my Etsy shop across all bases and will ship within the next 4 to 5 weeks.
The pattern suggestion for April is one mof mine! I thought that my “Edelweiss” sock pattern would be perfect to show off the delicate speckles of Rose des Sables, plus it calls for two coordinated colours. And for the occasion, I’m offering 20% off on the pattern with the code “ALMANACHAPR”.
