Mercy Otis Warren

A pair of bold blue socks to celebrate the poet, essayist and early historian of the United States, whose political arguments were influential in the constitutional enshrining of a bill of rights. The motif I have chosen - of a twisted vine - recalls one of the most often-repeated Biblical verses in Warren's correspondence (as well as that of many of her contemporaries) during the years of the American revolutionary war:  "and they shall sit each under their own vine and fig tree, with none to make them afraid." Micah 4:4

This is the fourth pattern in our Bluestocking club, in which we explore the lives and work of eighteenth-century women writers - while knitting our own socks and stockings, in John Arbon's wonderfully woolly Exmoor sock yarn.
