They all look great to me, such a diversity of patterns. Here’s hoping you’ll have 9 pairs ready for the winter :)

Then, pick a sock WIP, any WIP, and leave it in your car or “go”-bag. Every time you leave your house, that’s the project that gets worked on. On a trip, in a waiting room, in line at dmv, wherever. The socks will get finished eventually, you will get to work on your new exciting project(s) when you’re at home, you will never be stuck without something to knit, and you will feel virtuous, I’m sure. I have done this with some old projects, and I find it so much less painful than giving up “real” knitting time at home. And socks, sheesh, the ultimate portable project. Go for it!

My prediction is you will finish the rest :)

I usually start at the oldest and move my way forward. Something about getting a really old WIP done makes me feel more accomplished.

Well, why not start with the one(s) you know you want to frog? That’ll cut the number down and maybe it will feel SLIGHTLY less daunting. Then maybe start on the one you’re the closest to finishing.

They all look good so far! I’d start with the ones that still need more work! Towards the end, it would go faster! Strategy, strategy 😉

I’m predicting realistically that you’ll finish 4 before the year is over. I say frog the ones that aren’t “callin’ your name” then finish the rest!

That is mine. Well maybe not a prediction but a burst of positive thinking. I think if you wanting to, you could finish them all. Maybe not the Broad Ripple. You should frog them and then immediately cast on.
Then again..it is me after all giving “advice” on finishing things-heh!
I love every single one of these socks, especially the Happy socks.
