@tinkabel I’ve donated in the US and UK before, but not in the last 10 years. My Hb level was 139, IIRC. Right in the middle.


@tinkabel I’ve never been paid for it anywhere. Just always donate at the Red Cross.


@knitterjp No fishing line? I’ll call that a win. ๐Ÿ™‚ Thanks!


RT @knitterjp: A third for @mrs_sockvictim http://t.co/Me7LZ7I // Yay, congrats Fee!!


My Hipster Cardy didn’t win the Show. Once again I am too AVANTE GARDE for the judges! ๐Ÿ™‚ http://t.co/0lfymTt (Thanks @knitterjp for pic)


RT @knitterjp: Reccie’s shawl!! http://t.co/LHTJJn0 @miss_reecie


@knitterjp Intarsia waratahs? INTARSIA WARATAHS? Tell me that Asa’s actually pretty design won a ribbon.


RT @knitterjp: Send in the clowns http://t.co/gCN8fNr // So much FAIL in one photo. It’s a wonder anybody takes up knitting these days.


@knitterjp STOP TRICKING ME INTO CLICKING ON MORE CLOWNS. DO NOT WANT.


@drkknits I think we need to write a uke song about scourge of insipid clowns and the valiant-but-misunderstood knitters who oppose them.


@knitterjp There are no words.


@knitterjp GASP! He didn’t win? I do like the meerkat.


@knitdra @knitterjp He’s there every year. As god is my witness, one day I will own some naked marquetry.


@Kat13v Awww, thanks. ๐Ÿ™‚


Playing Patsy Cline on the ukelele. @imdominating would be pissing herself.


@Kat13v Wait, WHAT? No 1st in my class? Okay, that’s friggin’ annoying.


@AusVintageGrrl Awww, thanks. I suppose the garment would’ve lost all Hipster Cred if it had a ribbon. Losing is more “authentic.” ๐Ÿ™‚


@stufromoz I think you’ve done all the ones I know!


@steven_noble Isn’t there a parliament of owls? I always liked that one.


RT @eileenDCoE: Cures not cuts! #protectresearch


@knitabulous Nah, Walkin’ After Midnight. I’m not up to crooning yet. ๐Ÿ™‚


100 Awesome Husband Points: secretly getting your wife a Jane Austen comic book as a surprise gift. http://t.co/0wLfHXB


@knitabulous I didn’t keep it as secret as I should. It was listed on Rav for ages. Oh well, winning would have tarnished my indie cred. ๐Ÿ˜›


The wicked bruise on my arm is the perfect counterpart to my wicked allergy attack, wicked sinus headache, and wicked bad mood.


@gingerthomas Yeah, I bruise pretty easily. It’s gnarly; looks like I got attacked by a vampire. Not Red Cross lady’s fault, she was good!
