Socks in Progress

My Dad has asked for some socks. He doesn't ask for much, so I'm on it. Now, the thing you have to understand is that he has long, large feet, and he like his socks to reach mid calf. By my calculations that is around 4feet of knitting. I know he is resigned to the wait, but what I really need are more meetings! Today I had a 2 hour meeting and got many inches of knitting done. I'm working on two pairs at once. One pair of fine mill spun wool, the other thicker hand spun wool. I suspect the thicker ones will be done first just because the knitting is so much faster.
