Thanks for the encouragement, knitting group

Although I miss my every Wednesday knitting in Cheyenne, (Cindy, are you there?) I have enjoyed being back to my monthly group in Jeff City.  They have been very encouraging to me in the past few months, and the camaraderie is wonderful.  One of the projects I had started last month was my pink socks.  It is simply a twisted rib stitch, and I used the sock generator guidelines from Liat Gat, toe-up-2-at-a-time.  They are really leg-hugging, so I didn't worry about much of a cuff.   Since the yarn was Lion Brand Sock-Ease, where the label says "one ball makes a pair," I took them at their word and knitted until I ran out.  Less than a yard left from a 438-yard ball.  That's the beauty of toe-up, you just knit till you run out.  Many of the gals were interested in how the stitch worked, so here's pics:
