If the yarn was thick, it might knit up pretty fast. I've taken up crochet,
and I could probably crochet a pair of ad-lib socks in a few hours, with a
fat yarn. (I crocheted a pair of back-up mittens, without pattern at all
(thus "ad-lib mittens"), for my kid. It took... maybe a couple of days?
Not working flat out, either, since the keyboard needs my hands, too.)

Here's the second one: http://flickr.com/photos/archangelbeth/2118502633/ -- 
follow the photostream to see it in progress.

I'm semi-adlibbing some typing gloves for a friend, and those went faaaast.
