3. Sad panda
4. Anemone hat

A man wearing blue jeans and a black vest sports fingerless mits and shades, skeins of yarn slung around his chest and a hood with a wooly mohawk and felt ears. He's posing like he thinks he's a rocker. A man in blue jeans and red-and-white striped shirt and red and white hat poses mid-stride, like the famous children's book character Wally / Waldo A man looks downward to show off a white earflap hat with knitted black ears, nose, and eyes.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I took the day off from pattern writing, but I’m never not knitting so I made a tiny scrappy sock. Here also is the inside with all the knots that you never see.

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.

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.

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!

If I can't buy my favorite yarn, I'll use what I have left. I'm knitting my third pair of scrappy pirate socks in 2025. For the Scrap Along, I plan to knit a scrappy Musselburgh hat. 3/3

Pirate socks. Time for toes! These gorgeous scrappy specimens are already another favorite pair of socks. But why do I hear sandworms in the distance?

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.

The great dark space? It's creative, full of energy. Fumbling, sniffing… these are where exploration, invention, and beauty begin. And in this place there are steadying hands, human connection, and often yarn.

Cloudy skies and black yarn make these glittens look like shadow puppets, but I did finish the thumb and finger on the first one and reach the same point on the second. Productivity!
