Hello and welcome to the 2022 Sock Knitter’s Almanach, August 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 offering 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!
The inspiration for August are the beautiful sunsets you can enjoy while being on vacation at the beach: dramatic skies and the sun setting on a beautiful sea. So precious and magical. The moodboard is below and as usual, you can have a peak at the complete moodboard on Pinterest.
This colorway is called “Beach Sunset”. It starts with a beige rosé base on which I “painted” the skies, the sun and the sea, with lots of vibrant speckles. Beach Sunset is a lively and harmonious colorway, that will lend itself beautifully to bigger pieces, especially if knitted together with mohair & silk.

The pattern suggestion for this month is Perle Cottage Socks by Mara Catherine Bryner. Those little anklets are absolute cuties with the loveliest of rolled cuff.
Please join me on Youtube today from 5pm Paris time, for Episode 24 of Season 4 of my podcast, Inspirations, in which I’m presenting Beach Sunset. Rendez-vous on Etsy to shop the colorway. Happy knitting and happy Summer!
