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/

The difference between automatic and manual wraps when working short rows. The manual wrap leaves soft loops on the inside of the fabric. The automatic wrap gives the impression of a straight line of yarn on the outside of the fabric.

My first Musselburgh hat is finished... and I've already started the next one, because of course I have. More details and pictures on the blog: https://www.knittingpirate.com/2025/08/01/in-which-the-pirate-knits-for-miles/

(P.S. Since RSS seems to be having a resurgence - at least in this circle of folks - I feel like I should mention that of course the blog has an RSS feed.)

A double-layered hat unfolded so that it looks like an elongated football. It's knit of sock yarn scraps so it has different colours throughout, but one end has pink stripes and the other end has blue and gray stripes. The middle is mostly blues and teals.
