Socks for Dad

Our extended family did not exchange Christmas gifts this year, but after Christmas I asked both of my parents to look through my sock yarn and chose some for me to knit each of them two pairs of socks.

I've knit socks for Mom before (5 pairs), but never any for my dad. I decided to start Dad's socks first, because his feet are long and I knew it would take me some time to churn out even one pair for him.

Last night I watched 1 1/2 "Batman" movies with Steve and Aric and thought I might finish the first sock... but I did not. I am at the toe, however, so perhaps tonight I'll finish it off and cast on for the second sock of the pair.
