Ribbed Cap

Four stitches to go 😬

As I was starting this I could just hear my ancestors going "she gets that from *your* side of the family."

Adventures in Ferry Knitting

It was really just a series of delays, and if you live here for very long you learn forbearance. Several ferries have run late all day, probably the result of crew availability. At Lopez Island, the last stop before returning to Friday Harbor, a collision on the car deck kept us there for a while. I don't think I've seen a ferry make that last leg as quickly as we did today.

Honestly, I didn’t mind. The sky was so clear you could see Mt. Baker, and the day was generally beautiful. I would have liked a little MORE time to finish the last round of my sock before starting toe decreases. As long as I have knitting with me, long lines, delays, and wait times barely affect me.

Easy Peasy Scrappy Socks KAL 2026

Today I worked the entire heel flap of my pirate sock and turned the heel. Yay me!

Now I'm faced with a quandry. I've been asked to write a pattern for this sock. (You know who you are 😋) I have a few sock designs that I think are pattern worthy. The lack of sock patterns in my size is one of the main reasons I started designing.

So, I’d want my own sock patterns to include at least one size larger than my 10-ish feet and two smaller. Unfortunately, I’d have to charge more — at least $10 or even $12. The sales hit might not be worth it. And incorporating helical knitting? That’d make some knitters’ heads explode.

Snappy Socks

Amazing the progress you can make when you choose the right yarn.

I needed two colorways that look good in stripes, but one must still stand out as the diagonal line in the design. Nailed it.

Fortunately I'm not knitting samples of both socks in all four sizes, just one sock in the largest size and two smaller sizes. That's the plan, at least.
