?

i haven't posted in awhile. i'm not really sure what to talk about. i haven't really been knitting all that much lately. I started the back to basics socks on knitty. but i can't really tell you how i like them because i have only just started the toe. it is a toe up sock and i am using one circ...in other words i am using magic loop. i seem to like that method. my first pair of socks was using that method. my attempt at a second pair was top down and it ended up being to tight. (UG!) that pair was trying to be knit on dpns. i would like to give top down another chance but maybe using magic loop or 2 circs. if any of you find a good (free) pattern that is simple, maybe a tad lace or detail, then feel free to tell me about it.

anyone in marching band? then you'll know what i'm talking about. last week we got our schedules for this season. we have at least 30 hours more of practice than last season. i'm not sure if you guys have this in other states but Indiana has added a semi-state. so that means at regionals they pick 10 bands from the north and ten bands from the south. then they all go to semi-state then there they pick the top ten bands. those ten bands go to indianapolis to compete for the title of state champion. if ther would've been semi-state for the past 3 years, the marching hornets (our marching band) would have gone to semi-state. this year and three years ago were our best years (i was not in the band three years ago. i was in 7th grade).

ok, sorry about that little detour into boring town. well i will post more probably this weekend. tootaloo
