I am posting this on 7/3 but I actually haven't worked on them since maybe 6/25.  And I am very pleased at my progress.  I love knitting socks toe up.  Did I say before that my friend from Knitting in Public Day introduced me to knitting socks on a circular needle.  I am converted!  It really is so much better then all of the double pointed needles.  I am a circular needle girl any way.  Picked them up back in hmmmm.... 1989 I'd say.  I was commuting on Amtrak to New York everyday and it was considered rude to keep poking your seat mate with a knitting needle wonder why :)!
I most love being able to have him try them on as I knit.  Now I know you all think that I am soon to be finished.  I wish!  He likes his socks at least 9 inches up the leg.  I will be working in this through July.
So I am happy to say that I am going to learn to do two at a time, so I can also finish his brown socks.
