I’ve been some time

And I do have news! The Fiery Bolero is all finished, including blocking (shock, gasp). I just haven’t taken photos of me in it yet.

I think I like it. The truth will out when I put it on for said pictures (I’m hoping Monday).

As you may (or may not) have noticed, I haven’t posted in a couple weeks. I have a new job, in a real theatre, being a real apprentice (yeah, I have to join a union if I want work, so for now I’m a dogsbody), and working a real lot. I get Mondays off. I work about 9:30am-7pm right now, as we’re in rehearsal.

And crazy old me thought that this time, this I-have-a-new-and-demanding-job-I-love-time, would be the perfect time to start my own podcast. Yes, I have taken the plunge.

I can even give you the link for the website: here. So in the few stolen moments of internet time I get now, I set up that site.

A couple weeks ago, I recorded my first episode. I sat on it for a while, wondering if I really wanted to publish it, if I really wanted me out there. I think I do. Of course, since then, I’ve had all sorts of better ideas about how to do things, but I will publish that first episode (again, hoping Monday!) as I have it. Yes, I have edited out a lot. Mostly ‘um’ and ‘errr’. There is the odd annoying ‘thunk’ noise, but I know what does that now, and how to fix it. So yes. I am (almost) out there.

Will I be the next Lime and Violet? I highly doubt it (I mean, there’s only one of me!). But I’m going to try my hand at something new, which is always fun.

    Hi Heather: Looking forward to the podcast! I have been thinking of one for 2 years now, I have a name, a concept, website, even part of an episode recorded and there it sits. It is a lot of work. So I encourage you to just do it! I don’t think there are many Canadian knitting podcasts out there.
    Nice Bolero!
