It's an inside day today, but an opportunity to capture this combination of leftover yarn, helical knitting, and colorway pooling in a swirling for

I look forward to seeing other yarn crafter's work soon!

Beach break. I finished this of leftover yarn a day before the "official" start of . This one is sentimental…

I used the very last yards of a ball of soft green Zitron Trekking XXL 285, a gift from my mother when she taught me her method of knitting socks. Sixteen years ago.

My first project for is another ribbed cap in helical knitting on double pointed needles. I can practically make these in my sleep now!

The yarn is leftover Lang Yarns Jawoll Superwash and Froehlich Wolle Special Blauband from my mother's stash and a mini skein from Woolen Boon.

This is truly comfort knitting.

Remember, any craft that uses yarn is included in this Scrap Along!

The first ribbed cap that I knit from a dark gradient dyed blank reached its new owner this weekend.

"It feels so nice. I'm excited to wear it. And I like the colors even more in person."

Appreciation makes gift knitting worthwhile. I don't think I could've chosen better colors for him if I tried!

Four stitches to go. Again.

Nearly finished with the second ribbed cap from a gradient dyed blank, featuring helical knitting beyond the lengths for brims.

1) I knit the last 4 stitches of the ribbed cap. I like it so well that a small part of me wished I hadn't knit it for someone else.
2) I rarely block hats, but this one needs it. Pizza boxes are my favorite material for making blocking tubes.
3) The drying hat's ribbing already looks much tidier.
4) I have enough yarn from the blank for a second, identical ribbed cap. I'm already 5 inches in. Three more to go before crown decreases.

As soon as I finished this orange ribbed cap, I cast on another from a dyed blank in a dark gradient. Once I separated the two strands, I knit the first 4 inches from one strand, then continued in helical knitting with the opposite end of the second strand. I *really* like the way it's turned out. Now that I have a total of 8 inches, I'm ready to start knitting the crown decreases.
