@drkknits Don’t suppose you’d lend me those? I’m a sucker for English history.


@mrs_sockvictim Welcome back!


@miftik @domalessio Aus is doing pretty well, though a lot of it is on the back of the mining boom. IT is going strong tho, in my experience


@miftik I’d probably have to, like, adopt you though. ๐Ÿ˜›


@knitdra @drkknits I have to say, references to political strategy and V. Woolf may have put me off. I like ACTION and PLOTS!


Working from home but cats aren’t bothering me. Apparently I kept them awake all night too.


RT @Center4Fiction: Best tweet of the night: RT @sblackmoore: You know who else has binders full of women? Serial killers.


@BarackObama Would like to donate, but form doesn’t seem to allow American expats living abroad to contribute!


Received 2 phone calls and an email from @RedCrossAU in the past 24 hours. I donated to them, but geez, they are pursuing me hard. ๐Ÿ™


@Ezzles Damn, we’ll miss you! Have fun with your move though… Hope it goes smoothly!


I have gotten sign-off from @the_snook on the Halloween menu. What, like you don’t project manager your social gatherings?!


@drkknits @the_snook There is most definitely a spreadsheet. I have Halloween spreadsheets going back 5+ years. Such a dork.


@drkknits I’m going to start assigning your name to tasks on it. You’ll see.


Tripping on camera in front of everybody is my nightmare. Hugs, Julia.


.@jose9 Haha, nice. I should totally institute daily standups and a burn-down chart.


@drkknits SHORT SKIRT HOOCHIE MAMAS UNITE.


@zephyrama You are hard.core. I can’t wait to see how it turns out.


@redambition I sewed some sequins for mine, and it nearly killed me.


@zephyrama Won’t get my Gertie book til Sunday. Looking forward to it!


@randomknits I bought 3.5m, so at least I’ve got enough left to do a top. ๐Ÿ™‚


@randomknits Obviously my Lace Incompetence has infected you.


@drkknits Nice one!


Finally wearing Hazel today. Seams are itching me. I think I need to start investigating how to “fully line” things. #sensitiveskin


Frocktober #12 – this is @ColettePatterns Hazel I sewed last weekend! #ifeelpretty http://t.co/U3imjem0


@knitterjp @drkknits @randomknits Whoa. $2800 for a pair of shoes?!


@randomknits @knitterjp @drkknits This is a very important skill for Zombie Apocalypse Preparedness. I’m definitely tempted.


@drkknits @randomknits @knitterjp Obviously we only need one of us each to have these skills within the commune. Specialisation!


@drkknits @randomknits @knitterjp I hate to break it to you, but Ivory Tower Academic is not a role we need in the commune.


@drkknits @randomknits @knitterjp Now, Butter Churner or Kangaroo Butcher? Those we need. Get on that. ๐Ÿ˜›


New headphones + Spotify’s “90’s” radio station = Kris in protective (and hopefully productive) cocoon.


@zephyrama I know about those. It’s mainly the one joining the gathered shirt to bodice. Can you still French seam that?


@Gidgetknits @drkknits @randomknits @knitterjp Only once food, clothes, and shelter are taken care of. Any additional skills? ๐Ÿ™‚


@zephyrama Oh, that’s a good idea! Might try that then. Thanks.
