Partially complete Tranquil Hat (ribbing, plus 20 rows of geometric colorwork) with the attached balls of yarn on top of a textured tan cotton blanket.

The first few rounds of 1x1 ribbing have been knit on a Addi Rocket Squared needle and are held up with a blurred marathon finish line in the background.

Two caked skeins of Malabrigo Rios, pastel variegated and dark purple/grey, are atop the first page of the Tranquil Hat pattern. The grey/purple has been cast on a straight needle using the Italian tubular method, and a 16" wood circular is at the ready for knitting in the round.
