This is Flowers on the Windowsill by Carl Larsson, 1894 Sweden, watercolor. The knitting can wait, the flowers need a drink!

Nothing cheerful to say. It’s just a heel flap kind of day.

I just received an email from Enterprise Rent-a-Car with subject “Double points await” and I wondered how they knew I’m a knitter. 🙄🤪🧶

Our story's protagonists have evolved from stockinette tubes into the unmistakable topography of top down, heel flap and gusset socks. Heels turned, gussets gusseted, footward now to the toes.

I didn’t want to begin my scrappy Musselburgh hat before Scrap Along 2025, but I had to knit *something* so I started another pair of pirate socks. 😋 1/2

Working on my Dignity Cap design size L in sport weight yarn, also known as knitting in the afternoon sun on the porch, giving intention to each stitch.

Never not knitting. I can always use another two pair of short/sport socks…
Right?
Right?
Just say right 😛

The cuff of a new short/sport sock on double pointed needles (DPNs). The yarn is a more muted colorway of Filly from Universal Yarns in browns, tans, and reds (so far).

Knitting my way down the foot of this short/sport sock. Wholeheartedly loving the narrow, calm stripes of this Filly yarn.

I gave DPNs a try and it was a complete fail! 😅 I couldn’t figure out how to hold them correctly, even after watching videos. If anyone has tips or beginner friendly videos that helped you, I’d love the recommendations!

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.

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.

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.

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.

30 rounds past the cuff of these pirate socks, any lingering doubts about using darker colorways of leftover yarn have been replaced with 🤩. They’re kind of opulent secretive magical looking.

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.

A view of the scrappy Musselburgh hat I’m knitting for Scrap Along 2025, somewhat rumpled looking as if I had just finished a round and put it down to photograph. The next stitch I knit passes the halfway point of the project. A perspective view of the scrappy Musselburgh hat I’m knitting for Scrap Along 2025, laid flat with the crown turned under.

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.

New scrappy top down, heel flap, and gusset #PirateSocks. These are ready for their heel flaps. The colors are reminiscent of vivid sunsets and the last streaks of daylight.

I’ve turned the heel of my third pair of scrappy pirate socks this year. What remains of my leftover yarn has much less variety. Time to make more leftover yarn. 😋
