Juno Regina
Actual knitting content! It’s been a while. I fell in love with Juno Regina when it first came out in 2007 but never felt inspired enough to give lace a real go. The Morris Empire 2ply kept calling to me though, so I finally cast on at Knitting Camp. I will be the first to admit that I was quite the sight, hunched over my lace and growling at anyone who dared interrupt me while laboriously counting yarnovers under my breath. Those first twenty rows were a trial, people. Eventually I got the hang of it though, and the diamond pattern started to emerge. Chart 3 threw me for a loop, but fortunately I found a Ravelry discussion that cleared it up. The end portion is now finished and I’m powering through the body of the scarf. I don’t even know who it’s for! I like it, but I’m not sure I’ll wear it. I’m thinking maybe a gift for my Mom or my sister…

Welcome to another installment in my increasingly sporadic running podcast! Sorry for that whole month-long delay. Oops. Life caught up to me in April, as you’re about to hear. Thanks again to everyone who’s been in contact in the past weeks; it’s really meant a lot. This episode features: what I’ve been up to when I haven’t been podcasting; my training update; emails, comments, and shoutouts; and a couple random bits at the end. Look, it’s really more important that I finally RECORDED THE THING than it is to have a perfect three-act structure, right? Right. 🙂

Moomins and the Comet Chase
Moomins and the Comet Chase. That site – not to mention the movie – looks so amazing that I don’t even mind that it made me install Silverlight. Hooray for Moomintroll and Sniff and the Hemulen! I can’t wait.

Here’s the course map. What do you guys think of meeting up at 7:30 at the fountain in Hyde Park? It’s not too far from the start, and that would give us time to snap a couple photos, stretch, and head over to the starting line. (I have no idea how many folks are on the GGR team. I wish the MDC website would display it somewhere!)
