Ayyrr Matey

The pirate hats are finished. These are for the boy's Christmas stockings so need to be modeled by the bears.


They are knitted from Knitpicks Swish which is the superwash worsted and the skull and crossbones are duplicate stitched.

This is the formal end of the Christmas knitting....so am relaxing with some socks. I've never knitted socks from the toe up, nor have I done a pair simultaneously. So, here they are: 2 at once, toe up socks. I'm using Kristen's pattern so am experimenting.


I wanted to knit these toe up so I can make them as long as possible. I plan to knit until I run out of wool.

The bears look a bit insecure - maybe concerned that you are going to send them to sea.

What wool are you using for the socks? It is a very pretty colour.
