My First Attempt at Knitting Socks

I knew the day would eventually come when I would attempt to make a pair of socks.  I love sock yarn and can't seem to resist picking up a few skeins when I find them on sale, well a basket full of sock weight yarn later and never an attempt to do anything with it, I decided it was time to start.  Plus I thought it would a nice gift for a special person going on a big trip this year. 

This is what I've accomplished in between daily household chores on a lazy and rainy Sunday with Paton's sock yarn, size 3 double point needles and free pattern I picked up at Michael's but it can also be found on Paton's website. I wonder how long it will take me to finish a pair?
