Yesterday was the first meeting of my new little knitting group, brought about by my friend (Codename "L"), lovingly referred to as Purl 'n' Purge. (Watch out, Debbie Stoller! We might just start a new new knitting revolution.) The plan is for weekly meetings, which I'm very excited about, as it will hopefully help with my lack of knitterly self-motivation.
I didn't get much knitting done, however. I was too boozed and too torn on whether I should rip back my sock, yet again. Robin gave me grief for being a tight knitter so I tried to knit looser (because I was self-conscious about what tight stitches said about me as a person). The silly thing was TOO loose though! I tried it on and it went up over my knee and halfway up my thigh. I have learned my lesson - don't change more than one thing at a time (I went from size 2 to size 3 needles to start) - and have ripped it back and started again. Because, as I've said before, I just don't do shitty work. ;)
So here it goes, try number three!

Oops, maybe I should have clarified that loose knitting plus bigger needles equals giant socks!
It's cool, I got it now. However, I'll keep the "loose knitting plus bigger needles" technique on file for when I start the socks for my pet giant.
