It didn't take too long to finish off the first sock, and I was well past the heel before I went to bed last night. A few more rows after work today before finishing with a very simple suspended cast-off, and they're done!
When I made similar socks for myself, I worked over 32 stitches, and used just over one ball of yarn per sock. These socks are a little shorter, and worked over 28 stitches. So, two balls for a pair was perfect!
Now I just need to remember to whip up a card, and post them in the next couple of days to be sure they'll get to my sister in time for her birthday.

It is Patons Inca, the colourway is 7021 (three strands of pink and purple). This is Patons Australia, so I'm not sure if it's available worldwide in stores (I'm sure it is online) or if it might have a different name or equivalent elsewhere.
I've used the yarn before, and would recommend it if you're after some thick and cosy socks quickly knit.
