Sock progress

My green lace sock (from Socks from the Toe Up) is coming along slowly. But I like the way it looks so far.

Whenever I knit from a chart I seem to knit slow. But the lace pattern isn’t difficult. Before I get up to the top ribbing I’m going to leave the stitches live and start on the second sock. That way I can take them both up as much as I can before running out of yarn.
