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.
