Trekking socks, knitted on US 2 dpn's

Took forever, knitting at night and on the bus to and from work.
I thought I'd have a hard time finishing the pair, since after you finish the first one you realize you're only half way done. But it truly didn't bother me. I can't wait to cast on a pair for myself!

He loves them, but finds them hot and itchy. I'm trying to decide what fiber content to use for his next pair.
