More knitting by the lakeside..or is it thigh side?

Exciting news! A bit of progress on the Lakeside Lace Socks by Julia Vaconsin. With a few changes to note...I've decided to make them thigh highs on the idea that I may actually:1. Wear them more (with dresses and skirts in fall)2. I will have the added ability to show off their lace work detail, as I envision myself wearing them with boots and that would lose a whole honkin' lot of inches of that lacey goodness.And while it will take me added time to actually finish these puppies, I think in the long run, I'll be more pleased. If not, I can just gift them off or sell them.With the new changes, surprisingly, the lace calf detail on the back was not compromised because I have such stubby legs, and so, I soldier on.Enter your wagers now on how long you think it will take me to actually finish these puppies (considering the other multiple projects I have going on, including a big one with a deadline and delicious fall knits too irrisitible to hold off on).As always, more views of the socks at the Flickr Set.
