In Which the Pirate Gets Piratical.
I’ve had the Buccaneer’s Booty Socks pattern in my queue since, no joke, 2008. That is a long, long time to want to knit a pair of socks without actually knitting them. So…
There’s just one problem: The colourwork section is too tight to get over my ankle. And I’ve already knit down to well past the heel. (I swapped in a Sweet Tomato Heel for the short-row heel as written, but that’s not relevant if I can’t get the sock over my foot!)
I’m thinking I’ll pick up stitches just below the skulls-and-crossbones, snip off the cuff that I knit, and work it again from the bottom up… with more stitches in the colourwork than before.
Hrmph.
