Hey—Look What I Did!!!

I have been searching for a sock pattern that really fits me, and I found one!  I joined in the Ravelry group Knitters Brewing Co. Knit Along doing the toe-up Straight Up Sock.  I knew right after completing the toe of this sock that it was going to fit me perfectly.  It is nice and snug with no lumps over the toes to bother me. 
I knit the socks on a 40” circular needle using a Magic Loop (knitters will know what that is.)  Love the color and the fit. 
Here are a few photos of the finished product:
The color is Sorority Party Pink.  The top photo is the true color of the socks.  The bottom photo has too much sunlight shining on it so the color looks washed out a bit.

I think I’ll get started and cast on another color.  They knit up so quickly I may have a finished pair to show off next week.
