Hello and welcome to the 2023 Sock Knitter’s Almanach, March 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!
In March, we’re back to the wheel of seasons as we celebrate the spring equinox with a colorway inspired by Eoster, the powerful and benevolent goddess, symbol of renewal and creativity. Halfway between cherished older colorways of mine, Mabon in September and Druidesse in February, the imagery is very inspiring. For the whole Pinterest board as well as the sources of the pictures, click here.
Ostara is the colorway for March: green and earthy tones on a golden base, with lovely speckles to both intensify and balance the nuances. The month contrasting color, Rabbit Moon, is a deep and saturated brown with hints of gold and raspberry.
Preorders for both colorways are open in my Etsy shop across all bases and will ship within the next 4 weeks.
The pattern suggestion for March is “Double Heelix Socks” by Jeny Staiman. I’ve wanted to knit those forever, the construction is so out of the box! But then again, we owe this pattern to the inventor of the “Jeny’s Suprisingly Stretchy Bind Off”, so no real surprise, the woman is a knitting genius.
