I finished the first Wyvern Sock last weekend, and I would sure like to finish the second sock by the end of the year!
But here is the reality: the sock has 13 pattern repeats, plus 2 inches of ribbing (let’s call that 14 repeats), plus turning the heel (let’s call that a 15th repeat, time-wise).
Each pattern repeat takes me an hour to knit.
I have knit 3 pattern repeats on the second sock so far. That’s 12 repeats left, times 1 hour per repeat = 12 hours of knitting left.
There are 4 days left in the year, so that’s 3 hours of knitting each day between now and midnight on the 31st.
Which just isn’t very… plausible. I don’t know. We’ll see.

yuuuuuuu can dooooooooo eeeeeeeeeeet
Good luck on the 2nd sock! I bet you can do it. Hmmm, I was thinking all my WIPs would be finished in 2011, but maybe I will take this as inspiration. : )
I just started a pair of Wyvern socks today! Not trying to finish them by the New Year though.
By an hour per repeat, are we talking a solid-60-minutes-knitting hour, or a knit/brew-a-cuppa-tea/”what’s that funny noise in the kitchen”/locate-the-remote/quick-email-check hour?
You may be farther ahead than you think…
How about switching to that other calendar whose name escapes me at the moment? You know, the really, really old one that didn’t allow for leap years and is 17 days or so different than ours. You could finish it, no sweat, by January 17th.
Julian calendar, that’s the one.
