I finally finished my Jack Sparrow socks and the recipient was very happy with them. It was my first attempt at stranded colourwork and I really enjoyed it.
If anyone plans on knitting this but is reasonable new to toe-up socks I recommend keeping at copy of Wendy's Generic Toe-Up socks pattern handy as the Jack Sparrow pattern doesn;t walk you though the short-row heels/toes.

Wow! Those are great!! Where did you find that pattern??
I LOVE these!! You did a great job. I have these on my 'to do' list.
Awesome!
Those are fantastic. Will they be shown off at the new Pirates of the Caribbean- At Worlds End???
Hi Kellyd, I found my pattern on Google, just by doing a google search on them. My son is very into Pirates of the Caribbean too so I am going to knit it for him as a surprise.
