I've joined Plurk.
This site functions a little like Facebook's status updates, only it displays them on a timeline and gives you the option of responding to other people's updates or "plurks".
It's a complete and total time-suck, but I leave it open all day long so I can read (mostly) strangers' posts. Since most of the people on my friends list are knitters, it's a lot of fun, and occasionally free advice.
I joined Plurk because Miss Violet of Lime 'n Violet kept talking about it, but also because Wendy of WendyKnits.net offered a free pattern to knitters on Plurk for a limited time.
They are called Nanners, in honor (I assume) of the dancing Nanner one gets to use as an emoticon once you've earned 25 Karma points on Plurk.
I've been working on these socks like crazy, and I've ripped back the gusset section twice. I'm hoping that I've got it figured out this time. We'll see.
I'll post pictures when I finish them.
Keep knitting everyone!
