It was surprisingly easy to get back in the rhythm. Flap, turn, and gusset are done. #HelicalKnitting #Knitting #Socks #EvergreenYarnStudio 🧶

Progress is happening on my #worstedboxy by Joji Locatelli. Using #helicalknitting for the first time to alternate skeins and loving how seamless it is. #knitting #sweaterknitting

Knitting my messenger bag strap sleeve at a blistering pace of one-half inch per hour. 😜 Each stitch is worked twice so it's also something of a yarn gobbler, but the result will be worth it!

and colorful. I think I can knit the stitch in the round. Because it's a two row/round repeat, maybe I can knit it helically as well.

My gauge swatch in this bright tonal blue yarn came out well.

Dignity. The quality of being worthy of esteem or respect. It's the first thing taken by fas¢!sts.
My Dignity Cap continues. If I publish a pattern, it should include multiple sizes in multiple weights of yarn. I'm tired already.

Knitters look ahead. I'm looking forward to autumn and wearing my new scrappy watch cap. It's so comfortable that after taking these photos, it took a while before I realized I was still wearing the hat.

The horizontal photo shows the open end of my newly completed scrappy watch cap, with its brightly colored, helically knit brim, and the crown/top knit in stripes of dark colors of yarn.

Seen straight on, the brightly colored, helically brim is the star of the hat. Yours truly, modeling my newly finished scrappy watch cap.

Cast on a #WatchCap in yarn from my helically knit scrappy pirate socks and a sock ornament (last photo). It's better in stockinette than ribbing. The wrong side, which shows when the brim is folded, does look more appealing. 🤔

The beginning of a watch cap, helical knitting in k3 p2 ribbing. One strand of yarn is jewel tones, the other is kind of an antique yellow. The inside of a watch cap being knit.

This scrappy hat is knit from heavier fingering weight yarn, mostly leftover ONline SuperSocke and KFI Indulgance. I was just knitting to knit, so I didn't plan ahead and ended up reworking it a few times. It kept me occupied.

The #WatchCap continues. Whatever else is happening, I must knit. Onward and upward. Literally.
I check size and fit obsessively. 3.5" for the brim and fold. 2" more that the brim hides. Another 2.5" before crown decreases.

Yours truly from nose to scalp, trying on the watch cap I’m knitting to be sure it’s large enough to wear comfortably (it is) and that I like the wrong side of the helically knit brim well enough to continue (I do) Tube portion of the watch cap I’m knitting, standing up attractively for inspection… 3.5 inches (9 cm) for the turned up brim and fold in colorful helical knitting, 2 more inches (5 cm) that the brim will hide Tube portion of the watch cap I’m knitting, conveniently laid flat for measurement… 3.5 inches (9 cm) for the turned up brim and fold in colorful helical knitting, 2 more inches (5 cm) that the brim will hide

There was almost nothing to adapt from the flat version, and knitting helically prevents jogs at the end of every round. The cast-on stitches are loose, but I can take care of that later.

Completing WIPs like these scrappy pirate socks. Helical knitting in the ankle, foot, and toe transforms leftover yarn as if by magic!

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.

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.
