I love the Marathon Sock KAL. It’s a highlight of my knitting year – I really like having a little push to do some monogamous knitting and actually work a few pairs of socks up from start to finish without distractions.

The Marathon Sock KAL has varied in length from year to year, depending how busy people are. In 2018 I knitted a lot of socks because it was too hot to go outside while very pregnant, so I sat on the sofa, knitting socks!
2019 was quieter – I think I must have been busy with other projects, and a fully-mobile toddler. 2019 was also the quickest year for the Marathon Sock KAL – just 91 days, so I probably had a few projects that didn’t quite make it to the finished pile in time!
2020 was a bumper year for my sock-knitting. I did a lot of sample knitting last summer, and had a bit of a pile of socks to show for it. The Marathon Sock KAL took longer last year – a full 156 days, possibly because of pandemic fatigue – I know I spent a lot of last year staring into space, and far more of it than usual looking after children 24/7!
Fingers crossed this year will be a bumper year – I know lots of you have your needles at the ready. How many pairs are you hoping to finish?
