Being in the car for 17 hours this week was key to finishing this pair of socks so quickly.

My new colourwork socks are done! I tried two different techniques for short-rowing on the heels, and both of them worked well. All sorts of details on the blog, if you're interested: https://www.knittingpirate.com/2025/12/10/in-which-the-pirate-cranks-out-socks/

Second sock is done except for seaming and the toe, which will happen tomorrow.

New socks day! (Not that it's cold enough to wear them, yet.) I knit the cuff and legs on the machine, and then the plain parts by hand.

I don't enjoy knitting fine-gauge colourwork on DPNs, so I knit the cuffs/legs of these socks on the machine, then switched to hand-knitting for the plain stockinette feet. And of course, I blogged about it :)

Despite multiple issues with the way the pattern was written, I'm really happy with these finished socks! They're thick, squishy, and warm. (And yes, the legs are the same length when one sock isn't turned sideways.)

New socks, and a plan for the leftovers.

I finished knitting a new pair of socks - and the first sock of the next pair, too!

I finished the first sock of the pair I mentioned in my last post! I love the bright pink; it's so cheerful. Now, for sock two--
