Koigu Socks Started

Last night I started the socks with the Koigu. I was hoping to knit on size 1 dpns but decided that the 2s would give me a better gauge. I had one false start because I cast on 60 stitches but then realized I couldn’t K1P1 around without having to P the first stitch on the needle and I don’t like having to do that on double points. So I started again with 56 stitches and they are progressing. I’m almost done with the ribbing, anyway.

While knitting we watched The Grudge. Pretty lame, let me tell ya! Dale was frustrated because they didn’t wrap everything up into a nice package at the end by explaining all the freaky occurences. I told him it would have been a waste of time since the whole thing was silly anyway. They used lots of cheap scare tactics to make you jump but it just didn’t work for me. Sigh. I’ll have to wait for a good scare – maybe when we watch The Ring 2!
