When I read about the Rom-Com Revival theme for this issue, this dialogue from “Four Weddings and a Funeral” came into my mind:

Gareth: Scarlotta! Fabulous dress. The ecclesiastical purple and the pagan orange symbolizing the mystical symbiosis in marriage between the heathen and Christian traditions?

Scarlett: That’s right.

And as I have been enjoying knitting socks recently, I decided to design socks in orange and purple inspired by Scarlett’s dress.
