The light is gone for today, but I was able to get one photo. This is the Musselburgh Hat that I knit for my posable skeleton. It (the hat) is roughly 4.25 inches long (10.8 cm) and looks really cute. The middle section becomes the folded brim.

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

This is my little skeleton-sized version of Pirita Hiltunen's Käänteinen Rib Cap (@philtfi on IG)

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. I may be able to make ears, horns, etc. with a strap behind the jaw (shown by the pink arc on the side view). 🤔

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.

Down the rabbit hole I go. Today my skeleton is wearing a little 1898 Hat, my go-to winter pattern when I lived in Wisconsin.

A few years ago I knit an even smaller version (last photo). This one is altered to fit the skeleton, whose head isn't proportionally the same as a human skull.

For my mother’s birthday I like to do things she might have enjoyed. Yesterday was one of those golden autumn days that was perfect for knitting on the interisland ferry. The sky was magnificent, and my Dignity Cap design sample (size L worsted) is ready for crown decreases. Happy birthday, Mama.

Brightening a rainy day by working on the ribbing of my latest Dignity Cap 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. 💀 🧶

Swatchy swatchy colors. 😀 Knitting tubes to determine gauge for the next sample of my Dignity Cap. DK yarn from my mother's stash (bottom) is heavier than more recent yarn like the 006 Highland and 015 Mamalade colorways of Jody Long's Alba DK. Curious. Maybe it's because the older yarn is from Norway and was made more than fifteen years ago.
