Appreciation makes gift knitting worthwhile. I don't think I could've chosen better colors for him if I tried!

rest of the hat. This is the second strand (larger ball), and this is the first one I started with (smaller ball). So, now that I have recorded this and posted it, I can go knit decreases.

I plan to knit four inches so the brim is a solid brown, then continue the ribbing in helical knitting with the opposite end of the second strand. That's the blue end of the yarn on the winder at the back of these photos.

Eight inches of variegated orange yarn knit in k3p2 ribbing for a cap with a wide turned up brim. Photographed here in shadows cast by rare December morning sun in the PNW.

A length of nicely knitted fabric has a certain allure, but eight inches of ribbing is enough for a cap. Nine is just too much. Now to work the crown decreases.

This wasn’t a game of yarn chicken, but 9 yards left of three balls is pretty good.

This Käänteinen cap - a public project I can post while knitting a gift I can’t - is coming along nicely. These are the first 1.5 of 9 inches in k3p2 ribbing. So far the variegated yarn has no color repeats or pooling.

The very beginning of knitting a ribbed cap - 180 stitches of Island Fibers fingering weight yarn on 2.25 mm DPNs.

Here I go again. 180 stitches of Island Fibers fingering weight yarn on 2.25 mm DPNs in k3p2 ribbing. Nine inches to go before crown decreases! 😜 All so I have knitting to post that’s not the gift I’m making.

Now, you may have heard the meme that begins, “If someone makes you something out of yarn, they like you” and it continues “If they make it out of black yarn, they love you.”
[pan to yarn]
That’s a whole lot of love.

One-fifth size posable plastic skeleton wearing the little Musselburgh Hat I knit. The middle orange section becomes a folded headband and the colorway at each end becomes two different crowns.

Views of the little Musselburgh Hat that I knit for my posable plastic skeleton. It has a solid orange middle section that folds into a brim and a colorway at each end that becomes two different crowns.
Little Musselburgh Hat I knit for my posable plastic skeleton. Total unfolded length of the hat seen here is about 4.25 inches (10.8 cm). The middle solid color becomes the folded brim when one end is tucked into the other.
It’s fun that Musselburgh hats are two in one. Obviously I had to knit one for my bony partner in crime. The resulting folded brim is four layers thick, though, which was challenging at this size.

The light is gone for today, but I got one photo. This is the Musselburgh Hat that I knit for my posable skeleton. It (the hat) is roughly 4.25 inches long (10.8 cm) and looks really cute. The middle section becomes the folded brim.

Today my bony boonfellow is sporting a tricorn hat and cockade, most befitting a former pirate. I think I heard someone say "bring me that horizon!"

I find odd satisfaction in knitting small versions of things. 😬 Sat in the afternoon sun today and carefully blocked the brim for my skeleton’s tricorn hat.

It's a day for autumn magic in the Pacific Northwest. My bony companion looks positively dashing in this little peaked wizard's hat. Maybe a bit eerie as well.

Posable plastic skeleton - 15.5 inches long fully extended - wearing a little 1898 Hat I knit for it. The skeleton is holding the smaller scale 1898 Hat that I knit a few years ago.
Years ago I knit an even smaller version, held here by the skeleton. This 1898 Hat is altered to fit the skeleton, whose head isn't proportionally the same as a human skull.

Looking across the Friday Harbor ferry landing toward Brown Island under an autumn blue sky full of puffy clouds.
Grid of spectacular clouds in the deep blue autumn sky above San Juan Islands interisland ferry M/V Tillikum.
A hat-in-progress, worked in three-strand helical knitting in robin's egg blue and natural white with double pointed needles (DPNs), ready for crown decreases.
Grid of photos aboard WSF interisland ferry M/V Tillikum: view of a passing island from passenger deck, the nearly empty passenger deck, the ferry's wake with islands in the distance, and a view of Friday Harbor through an observation area.
On my mother’s birthday I do things she'd have enjoyed. It was a golden autumn day perfect for interisland ferry knitting. The sky was magnificent, and my Dignity Cap design sample is ready for crown decreases. Happy birthday, Mama.

Close up of knitted 1x1 ribbing in a cheerful coral colorway of Merino DK yarn from Fidalgo Artisan Yarn.
Posable plastic skeleton holds a ball of bright coral DK yarn on its right knee and the tag from Fidalgo Artisan Yarn Merino on it left. Good job, my bony buddy!
Brightening a rainy day by knitting ribbing of my latest #DignityCap sample (size L in DK) from this cheerful colorway of Fidalgo Artisan Yarn's Merino DK (0222 Coral). My bony little buddy is certainly earning his keep.

Tubes of yarn that I knit to determine gauge for the next sample of my Dignity Cap. The top tube is a muted orange (marmalade) color of Jody Long's Alba DK yarn. A ball of olive green (Highland) Alba is next to it. The bottom tube is a deep red DK from Normay with a natural white and golden yellow ball nearby.
Swatchy swatchy colors to set gauge for my next #DignityCap. DK from my mother's stash (bottom) is heavier than more recent yarn like Highland and Marmalade colorways of Jody Long's Alba DK. Curious. Because the older yarn is from Norway and made >15 years ago?

Dignity Cap-in-progress lying on its side with the unfinished crown facing the camera and double-pointed needles sticking out in various directions.
Coming in for a landing. Knitting my #DignityCap isn't difficult, but I chose to take the time to write needle-by-needle instructions along the way. Knitters who aren't familiar with helical knitting might appreciate it.

Last afternoon of #PorchKnitting for summer 2025. Finished 3 inches of 1x1 ribbing for the #DignityCap I'm designing.
67° made basking in the sun nice. Birds were birding - geese, corvids, and the mechanical kind taking off from the nearby airport.
