Box o' Sox KAL Halfway Update

Today is the 4th of July and that basically marks the halfway point in the year as well as the halfway point of the Box o' Sox KAL.  Here's my original blog post about the knit along as well as my tentative plans for it.  I have very loosely stuck with those plans so I figured it would be fun to give an update!  As before, I've linked to the pattern as well as my Ravelry Project Page.  All the pictures are from the original patterns or my own project page for the vanilla (no pattern) socks.

I've finished 7 pairs of socks this year so far and I'm quite proud of that.  I'm not sure what I'll do for the last 4 pairs.  I recently won a give away from the Brooklyn Knitfolk Podcast and I won a collection of Beyond Vanilla Sock patterns desiged by Mina of the Knitting Expat Podcast.  So I imagine I'll be making a few of those.  I'll keep updating the blog and I have a feeling I'll be able to finish all 12 pairs and maybe more!
