Took forever in that they weren't the focus. The second sock was nighttable knitting and didn't take very to finish once I decided to finish it. The pair is awfully darn close in how the self-patterning worked itself out with a mere stitches difference through most of it. The notable difference is a matter of an additional round of white in the toe of the second.
Most importantly, Alex was happy to wear them the morning after they were done. He excitedly made a handpuppet of the second sock as the first was being applied to his foot. He's a boy who appreciates handknit socks.
