Socks and More Socks

I'm at that wonderful place where one large, super-involved project with a deadline has been completed, and now I get to freely mess around with my other WIPs.  The first one I grabbed was my emergency sock (which lives in my backpack in case I ever need it).  It is sock #2 of the pair, and I have finished the gusset and have some number of inches to go on the foot now.  It felt good to have something much less intense than lace.  It looks like I should take a more recent photo, since this one is from October.

I also started a second pair of socks a few weeks ago, because one can never have too many socks in progress, right?  The biggest difference is that the most recent pair will be done on 2 circulars instead of DPNs.  I went with 2 circs so I don't have to worry about dropping one of my favorite DPNs.  I had planned to try knitting in the dark, but I ended up just pulling out the sock and holding it instead, so it has been named my security sock (like a security blanket).  I will take this one with me to Erie, PA in July.  The thought of a DPN rolling down the length of an airplane is heart wrenching.  I used the German Twisted Cast-On for the first time.  Again, I am lacking a current photo.
