Hello and welcome to the 2022 Sock Knitter’s Almanach, July 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 July is the perfect summer day: sun, by the pool or the sea side, strolling aimlessly for the sheer pleasure of it, nowhere to go and no schedule. Chill & fun. July’s colour is both soft and vibrant, with pure-lagoon blue, warm-sand-between-your-toes beige and flamingo-in-the-pool neon pink. The moodboard is below and as usual, you can have a peak at the complete moodboard on Pinterest.
This colorway is simply called “Journée d’été”, French for Summer Day. It starts with a very pale base of yellow and beige, with dashes of vibrant blue and neon pink. A riot of speckles comes last, like fireworks at the end of a perfect day.

The pattern suggestion for this month is Drunken Geese Socks by Celia Roberts and it’s absolutely gorgeous. My friend Macri knitted that pattern a few years back and it’s been on my list ever since. Look at that heel!!
