Ribbing also takes me forever because the alternating stiches. But ones I get to the leg or feet it is often quicker. But that of course depends on what stitch pattern you are going to use.

I look forward to more updates on your progress (and the end result of course)!

Ribbing is the WORST. It always goes so slowly compared to the rest of the knitting. I do toe up so it’s always a question of how much patience I have to finish the sock!
