My Furrow Cap knitting pattern is now live on Ravelry!

I didn't start out to design a hat. Everything about my Furrow Cap is the result of tinkering with the details of many knitted hats that came before.
Altogether, this is the pattern for a good, solid, satisfying cap. It's become one of my favorite hats.

No new knitting to post, so this is a UFO that sits to one side, mocking me. They're a pair of pirate gloves; that is, they are knit from leftover yarn.
It's been a little more than a year since I stalled at the point of dividing for fingers. Why, I don't know. I'm comfortable knitting thumbs on mittens and forefingers on glittens, but I seem to be intimidated by whole hands' worth of fingers.

Sometimes I have to make myself stop working to enjoy some personal knitting. I enjoyed knitting this short sock so much today that I sped past the beginning of the toe. Fortunately it was just three rounds.

Paused the pattern process to post pretty pictures. This is the pattern sample of my Furrow Hat. To think that after knitting a ribbed cap for the first time, I said “Never again.” 😆

Knitting on the interisland ferry is still one of my favorite things. Instead of sitting in a fluorescent-lit room somewhere, I happily knit as the ferry makes its loop around the four largest islands.
The view never fails to impress… islands behind islands, faint and misty in the distance… brilliant blue skies, so often full of artistically rendered clouds piled to the horizon.

Spring Knitting: The finishing of things: Slipper socks
Slipper socks, my last spring knitting project. Obviously, they're a pair of short socks knit in bulky yarn to fit my sock-clad feet. Still, they are perfect for chilly rooms and sore soles.

Spring Knitting: The finishing of things: Ribbed Cap
The last ribbed cap I knit this spring. The colorway seemed murky until I saw its gorgeous eggplant colors - stem, flesh, seeds, skin, calyx. The yarn is heavier than usual, so it's wonderfully thick and squooshy. The ribbing makes it a good fit.
I ran out of yarn, of course, and ripped back to hide a dark green stripe behind the brim. It looked so good that I let it peek out above the edge.
Spring Knitting: The finishing of things: Short socks
My first short socks of the year. Top down, heel flap, and gusset. They're 100% cotton, a little heavier weight than usual, and a little stiff (for now). They fit my feet exactly, though, so they are very comfortable! Bring it on, summer!

Spring Knitting: The finishing of things: Ribbed Cap
I've knit a ribbed cap from leftover yarn for practically every mood. This one merges misty rainy colors of the Pacific Northwest — subdued shades of blue, green, gray, and purple — into cozy comfort for chilly days of early spring and late autumn.
I'll be publishing the pattern as my Furrow Cap, sooner rather than later.
