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.

My latest tiny sock ornament, displayed on the longest photo of my right hand. Giving scuttling Thing vibes
My latest tiny sock ornament knit from short lengths of leftover yarn knotted together.

Yarn left from my latest scrappy pirate socks was enough for a couple of cute, one-of-a-kind tiny sock ornaments. The top tiny sock is red yarn helically-knit with a black/white/red colorway. The bottom one is an antique yellow with a deep multicolor jewel tone yarn.

Yarn left from my latest scrappy pirate socks, themselves knit from leftover yarn, made a couple of cute helically-knit tiny sock ornaments. Like all of my tiny socks, each is one of a kind. 😀

These scrappy pirate socks use helical knitting to transform leftover yarn. The ankle, foot, and toe use combinations of two yarns that follow each around and around the sock. In this pair, the ankle is mostly red with black and white. The foot is blues and greens, and the toe is multicolor and an antique yellow.

These scrappy pirate socks use helical knitting to transform leftover yarn. In this pair, the first half of the foot is greens, black, and white yarn left from the pair shown at the top of the photo and dark blue tonal and marled Trekking XXL. The result has an underwater feel.
These scrappy pirate socks use helical knitting to transform leftover yarn. In this pair, the second half of the foot and its toe use colorful but somewhat dark Regia yarn in jewel tones and an antique yellow yarn from Sugarplum Circus. All of the colors spring to life and make me think of 19th century carnivals.
Completing WIPs like these scrappy pirate socks. Helical knitting in the ankle, foot, and toe transforms leftover yarn as if by magic!

Pirate sock ankles are finished, so I’m ready to walk the plank (knit heel flaps). I’m privately pleased that all 10 ankle stripes are different yarn - no repeats. Can I keep that up? We’ll see.

Okay TikTok, I see what you’re doing. In my December 30 post and every post since, the tag #GayKnitter has been deactivated. Now, at 63, I’m no stranger to heterosexual attempts to erase me. I’m not impressed by your pandering.
