I finished! How long does it take to knit socks? Ever been asked that one? Of course, you have. And there's no good answer, is there. If I JUST knit socks... they might not take so long, but MY sock-knitting is normally saved for those moments when I'm trying to stave off boredom. Almost NEVER at home.... until today, when I have the fire lit to start a NEW pair of socks, and yet those others... all they need is the second toe.
They are so pretty, yet I'm ready to move on, so at home, I put in the final time, about an hour and here they are:
They are a bit oddly colored, but you'll have to take that up with Kaffe Fassett! I like them. Very quirky with little bow on the back of the leg. As long as the weather stays below 80º F, I'll be wearing them!

How long? I cast on on June 29 (this year): 2-1/2 months. Socks number 6 for the year. Not many boring moments in the past 12 months, I guess.
Happy weekend!
or you can set yourself a goal like this (i think i heard one of the ladies in my sister in laws knitting club did this). try and knit one pair of socks per month, photograph a pair for each month and then make a calendar for the following year...:)
