Random Thoughts

I knit my first sock. Need to fix one hole. But what pisses me off was that I was trying to be a good girl and cast off really well, and it's too tight! !#U(*U(*Y$*(!@Y$!!! I can only just barely get it over my ankle. This just will not do. I am trying to fix it, but I ca't figure out how to get thread to the stiches to loosen them. Grrrrrr.

Saw 300 with Kristy. Mancandy.......mmmmmm....even with fakish abs. Flexfest. No one has abs like that all the time. But still...mmmmmm. Kristy about clocked a drunk ajoshi (korean guy) on the way home. We were waiting for the crossing light to change and he was yelling progressively more loudly at us. Wanting nothing whatsoever to do with him, we ignored him, though Kristy commented that she would essentially take him out if she had to. I felt exactly the same. Most of these people are smaller than me. Anyway, he finally came up to us. He kind of tapped me, but Kristy said he grabbed her shoulder. We both spun on him, and she started yelling at him. She raised her fist and he backed right off. We turned back around to finish waiting for the light and he kept saying the only thing he probably can in English, "Thank you, thank you...." I took that to be more of an, "I'm sorry'" from his tone. Needless to say, he did not try to bug us again. Good thing it wasn't Wednesday night, when I was in a downright evil mood.

Finally, sick as a dog, and I could really smell/taste the pollution on the air tonight. Disgusting.

As to the sock:
Maybe try the bind off I use for my lace, it is really nice and loose:

k1, k1 ,k the two stitches you just knit tog. through the back loop, then k next stitch and knit that one tog. with the one left on the left needle through the back loops.. and so on..
hope this helps!
sending Hugs!
