Spring knittng, a week later.

3.5 in of "plain" ribbed cap ribbing so far. The colors remind me of eggplant - their skin, flesh, and stems.

The second ribbed cap is about 6 in long. I like the k3p2 side of helical knitting much more than the k2p3 side that would show when folded, so I turned it inside out. The rest of the cap will be solid blue.

The short sock is has passed its neat gusset to a little more than halfway along the length of the foot.

Spring knittng. Two more ribbed caps on my DPNs. Something to knit when the mood strikes.
Short socks always come in handy. I finished the heel flap and turned the heel of this one, seen here from both right and wrong sides. It's DK weight cotton, so the socks will be particularly sturdy.

Here's my #WIPWednesday toot. I made nice progress on the rainbowjersey. Those of you that would argue, that's not a rainbow, that's correct. It's a rainbowjersey as in cycling. I.e. multicoloured, as opposed to the yellow jersey or the dotted jersey. I just reached the armholes and am now wondering how to do the neck with either a zip or buttons. I never did either. #knitting #menwhoknit

#FOFriday my first attempt at ajour. Newly finished and after one year of wearing it nearly continuous. Note to self; even tighter next time. #knitting #MenWhoKnit

1 of 2 finished. I know it's not a proper toesock like my other ones, but it's for my mum, who isn't a toesock afficionado. It's a bit tight on me, so should be just right on her. With the big toe separate she can use them in flipflops. Now let's see if I can avoid second sock syndrome.

Meh. I do say that when you make things from your favorite colors of yarn, that combining the leftovers makes projects gorgeous. There are exceptions. This ribbed cap I'm making for #ScrapAlong2026 just doesn't bring me joy.

I'll frog back into the light beginning half and incorporate this unlabeled thrift store yarn. I think it's Austermann Step in colorway 18 Red Grey.

Nope. I started the crown of the first version but thought "nope" and frogged back to the first stripe. Reknit in narrower, neater stripes, I'm much happier with the result. It's my latest ribbed cap for #ScrapAlong2026, knit from four colorways of leftover fingering weight yarn.
