A new knitting project...

I am working on a pair of socks for my husband. 
I am at the toe decease on sock one. I am working these on size 3mm DPN's (double pointed needles). The yarn that I am using is Wool-Ease Slate Heather 4 ply. I had this yarn in my stash for a while so I don't know   where it came from or even if it still can be purchased.  

 
My husband wears size 11.
So as I was knitting, it seems that the sock looks extra long but when Billy tried it on it fit to a T. So now for the decrease of  the toe. Then I can start on sock number two. 
This is a pattern that I got off Ravelry, the actual pattern came from Man's Hunting Socks by Caryn Leighton.  http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/mens-hunting-socks
