On the needles...

I have a new pair of socks I started knitting for my wonderful daddy! I cast them on right after I finished the hubby's socks and I love how they are turning out. The pattern I picked for him is the Diamond Gansey Socks by Wendy Johnson. I really love her book Socks from the Toe Up and hope that I can add more of her books to my collection soon. Her patterns are very easy to follow and the designs are gorgeous. As soon as I find the right yarn I'm going to cast on another pair for a friend of mine. Think I can finish them all by Christmas?
Here is a picture of what I've done so far with my dad's socks. I hope he likes them. I have never knit anything for him before...
