A pair of socks on feet. Light blue main color with brown specks and a brown contrast color for the heels and toes.
In other news: I knit my first pair of socks.

True story - While strolling down the street that day, some guy driving by rolled down the window and shouted, "I like your style!" 😃

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

Can you see I'm into diagonal colo1r blocks right now?
Another sweater done. I mixed 5 different skeins of fingering weight yarn with Intarsia knitting, and alternated stockinette and reverse stockinette stitches.

Two identical ribbed caps knit from a gradient dyed blank, featuring helical knitting above the brims. The second cap is still on double pointed needles with four stitches left to go.

Four stitches to go. Again.
Nearly finished with the second ribbed cap from a gradient dyed blank, featuring helical knitting beyond the lengths for brims.

5) Here's a close look at the ribbed cap's transition from one strand to helical knitting with two strands.

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.

Front side comparison of the 2 recent sweaters I knitted. The armholes of the black & white sweater was a little too big, so I made the other one with tighter armholes.

New diagonal sweater is done!
I used 5 fingering sock yarns and Intarsia knitting for diagonal color blocks. Asymmetry makes it fun to look at from all the angles!

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.

A mosaic knit colorwork cowl hangs loosely down a person's chest, showing a dark teal pattern set against a luminous background shifting from orange to yellow to light blue. Alternate sections of a diagonally repeated motif and dotted stripes break up the right side of the fabric, while the reverse side shows short floats in a more blended fabric. Stripey i-cord edges keep the edges tidy and satisfyingly round.
A man with glasses and multi-toned beard going white smiles at the camera. He is wearing a cabled sweater and a colorful cowl wrapped double so that it hugs his neck.
#ShowMeYourKnits whites and brights - here's one on the bright end. The weather has been a bit sharper here, and I keep reaching for my Dust Jacket Cowl to keep my neck comfortable. It's a really fun knit, too.

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.

I will post more about that, but I won’t be saying “never again” again.

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.

Not finished knitting beanies for the bony one. Nope, not by a long shot. Gotta keep that skull cozy.

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.
