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/

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.)
