We are over our Blue Moon selves excited to be teaming up with Larissa for this magically mysterious Winter Solstice knit-a-long. It's so great, I have finally found someone as lunar obsessed as I am. Larissa has designed a shawl that will explore light in darkness, and the alignment, this year, of the longest night with the brightest moon. Simple stitch patterns coupled with a mysterious form will celebrate the exchange of darkness and light.
What a lunar year we’ve had. One filled with all kinds of moon magic beginning with a Super Total Lunar Eclipsed Blue Moon, the second Blue Moon of the year, and we hadn’t even left January! So it's a nice full circle (pun intended) to be ending the year with an equally magical celestial event. Our last full moon of the year happens on the Winter Solstice! So while our days are darkening into the longest night of the year our moon is waxing full, shedding a little light into that darkness!
I love the idea of knitting the light into the darkness stitch by stitch.
What an uplifting and beautiful way to celebrate the this Winter Solstice’s Full Moon and spreading a little light out into the world.
We’ve come up with kits based on Larissa’s design and the moons of the year. Cultures around the world have names for the full moons for each month, so we’ve themed out kits based on some of those moon and the colors they inspired in us based on Larissa's design.
Each kit includes a trio of Socks that Rock Lightweight skeins in a light to dark color sequence. There is a coupon code for 10% off that is good from now until November 14th. You get the code when you purchase the pattern from Larissa. We have a short window of time to get you your kits for cast-on on December 7th so the sooner you order the better! If you order after Nov. 15th, we will still do our very best to get it to you on time but we can’t guarantee it.
