It’s a Revolution!

A dance revolution that is. We just picked up Dance Dance Revolution Ultramix for our Xbox. We got the dance pad/game pack combo; and so far it’s a hit! Katie loves to jump up and down on it; and it’s a great workout. See?
In an effort to lose some of the post-pregnancy weight without really trying too hard at it, I thought playing this game might be fun. So far so good! Yet you don’t really realize how uncoordinated your feet are until you try this game. I’m all left feet, and there is no way I’d ever play this in "public" at an arcade unless I was much much much better at it. A friend today told me about his friend that was waiting in line to play at Dave & Busters (basically an arcade for those of you not from this area) with a bunch of nine year old girls. Heh. Luckily I can play in the privacy of my own basement.
What about knitting?
Well, I’ve actually been making progress on some stuff.

The Shhh don’t tell my husband this is for him sock:
On this one the pattern calls for a moss/seed stitch heel. I did about an inch of it, and decided I didn’t like it because it didn’t draw in and get thick like a Sl1, k1 heel does. So I ripped it out and started over. (Gee, can I knit anything without ripping part of it out?) I’m much happier with my "standard" garter-stitch edged Sl1, k1 heel.
I need to stop making progress on knitting stuff for a while so I can get the binding finished on our new winter quilt. Have you seen the weather forecast lately? brr! I love it!
