TAKING BACK [THE KNIT]

I just don't feel inspired to put up a whole, entertaining, interesting blog. But I do feel like posting something. So, for your viewing pleasure, here is my progress on my newest socks.

Here's my progress as of last night:

And as of this afternoon:

I love the fit so far. I went down a needle size, and it fits so much better. I had planned on making them longer and using garters (like we do for dance. Just an elastic band that goes under the flipped-down cuff. Not like a garter belt), but is fits so well I won't have to do that. Trying it on for these photos inspired me: I'm supposed to knit some legwarmers for a dance frined and I think I am going to give them a heel! It would be easy to flip it up if she doesn't want it, but it will help keep her ankle/achilles warmer.

 I just want to mention, once again, how much I love the Magic Loop techinique. It was a little tough in the picking up sts/gusset part but it is worth it. I love the ease of being able to try my sock on anytime I want, with littel hassle.

 In non-knitting (but yet still nerdy) news, I am soon joining Rainbow Girls. One of my friends is a Past Worthy Advisor, and asked me to join her Assembly. As a much younger young lady, I was in Job's Daughters. (that wikipedia page SUCKS, and I am actually going to edit it!)  My dad was in DeMolay, and my aunt is a Majority Member of Job's. My grandpa is a Shriner.  I joined because my cousin was being installed as an Honored Queen, and my aunt wanted all of us cousins to be there so support her, I guess. Then we all continued and she quit. Anyway I age out of Rainbow at 20 so I figure I'll get a couple of terms under my belt and get my Majority. Not enough time to run for the line or anything. Then, if I ever have a kid she can be in Rainbow. I am also considering going back to Job's to get my Majority there. It would be cool, but Job's and Rainbow meet on the same night. Am I just talking to myself here, or are any of you knitters familiar with Masonic stuff? I know it's weird ...

I'm still not sure what I'm going to do about switching away from blogspirit. ... blogger fucked up when I was trying to leave natasha a comment today, so I'm thinking it might be a sign to pick wordpress. Which is easier to import old posts? ha!
