I think I'm going through a sock phase right now. All I've wanted to knit is socks, socks, and more socks.
I finished the first Monkey sock for Kaity. 
It fits perfect though I had to do a little tweaking to get the sock to fit her right. I cast on the 64 sts like the pattern says. I'm knitting with a thin yarn and smaller needs so the 64 sts works out great for the leg. I ended up decreasing 6 stitches before starting the heel flap. If I wouldn't have done this the sock would have been too floppy on Kaity's feet.
Here's the progress on sock #2 of my Simple Socks.
I've started the gusset decreases since this photo and almost have them completed. I doubt these will take long to finish.
I'll probably work on my sock this afternoon and maybe get back to knitting on Bree's Thinking Dress.
I was just talking with some friends today about making another pair of Monkeys! These next ones will be for me!
