Lots of Ribbing

I have made some progress on the socks for Hubby. I have about 4-5" done on the cuff. Problem is his foot is so freaking big that the cuff should be about 9 inches! That is alot of ribbing. Lately I have only been able to manage a few rows before getting bored with it.

Meanwhile, I have this yarn staring at me every time I sit down at my computer.
"knit me" But I can't start another sock project now.

I am heading to Vegas next week for work and Hubby is tagging along for fun. I will have most nights and 2 days to play so I am so ready to go! What to bring on the plane? I think the socks are too much to handle. 2 balls of yarn, twisting and tangling on a plane is not a good thing. Another scarf? Oh wait! I think it might be the Dream Swatch Head Wrap from Knit and Tonic! Perfect.
