Well, for this year anyway. Round 6 looked way too scary to even cast on. But Round 5, kilt hose, were surprisingly quick. They were so quick, the mods were caught off guard. I love mine, and someone suggested using them as boot socks. Genius!

Very cute! Can you post a pic of the Round 6 socks? I want to see what constitutes "too scary" for you!

The pattern states:
SKILL LEVEL: EXPERIENCED.
TECHNIQUES USED: MAGIC LOOP, FOLLOWING CHARTS, KIHNU TROI
(ESTONIAN BRAIDED) CAST-ON, LATVIAN BRAIDS, STRANDED KNITTING,
WEAVING FLOATS (OPTIONAL), SINGLE/DOUBLE/ QUADRUPLE INCREASES IN
PATTERN, SINGLE/DOUBLE DECREASES IN PATTERN, STRONG HEEL IN
PINSTRIPES, ARCH-SHAPING, 3-NEEDLE BIND-OFF, GRAFTING (OPTIONAL).
Oddly enough, there's only one slot left to fill after less than a week of knitting. Apparently once you figure it out, it's pretty simple (?)

What yarn did you end up using for those? I am thinking I need to cast on to wear with boots this fall/winter.

Awesome! I've got some 220 Superwash I was thinking of using but the yarn rec seemed off for that so I was a bit iffy.

The socks in the photo are GORGEOUS!!! I'd totally wear them as boot socks, they're perfect!
I agree, round 6 looks like they land me in the mental hospital for even trying. Well done on all the socks though!
