Speaking of doing things backwards... Here's my knitting report. Have you seen the new Wendy Knits Lace book? O. M. G.! I want to knit every single thing in there. From the whole book, there's only one item that I didn't immediately want to start knitting and that's a circular shawl big enough to cover a couch. While I like to knit circular shawls (round and round and round, no icky purl rows typically) I'm not a big fan of wearing them and I don't often find a pattern that I like enough to justify that much yarn. I am however in LOVE with the True Love scarf/stole. I wanted that to be my first project but since it's graded as being an "advanced" level project, I thought I'd cut my teeth on an "intermediate" level shawl first. I ended up skipping dinner so I could cast on the Stacy Shawl. So far, so good! I'm too lazy to get up and find my camera, so here's a bad Photo Booth picture of it.
So, back to knitting. And uh, running. It is September. I'd promised myself that on the first of September, I'd start running again. Today's the second. I better get on with it. I'm having a little trouble getting excited about it. I know that once I lace up my shoes, I'll be itching to go. I also know that I will feel like a million bucks when the run is over. But I also know that I haven't run all summer and I've gained a bunch of weight. It's going to be a painful and depressing slap of reality.
