GAHHHH. Friggin’ hell. The only thing worse than knitting lace is blocking it. IT’S KILLING ME, BUSTER.


Managed to fix horrendous mishap and get scarf blocking. (I think @miss_reecie has a voodoo doll of me.) http://t.co/x1nrKRkMRM


Who’s watching the Oscars tomorrow? I need volunteers to count dead people for me for my Contest tie breaker… ( @imdominating?)


@drkknits @imdominating Actual awards start at 5:30 PST, which is 12:30 here.


@drkknits @miss_reecie I soaked it in the sink and two threads caught on the motherf*cking drain stopper. Pulled way out. I nearly screamed!


@drkknits @miss_reecie Had to laboriously adjust thread tension stitch by stitch to fix it. NEVER KNITTING LACE AGAIN.


Second attempt = also FAIL. I think I’m throwing in the towel. ๐Ÿ™ http://t.co/uKhfjTLodF


@pyko Wait, what?! Which reader? We couldn’t get it with Google Glasses or QRReader for iPhone.


@pyko You know what this means. It means I’ve got to spend the next two weeks frantically knitting mittens!!


HOLY CRAP. Thanks to @pyko, I just discovered that the QR Code DOES work – when I read it from my laptop screen. IT’S BACK ON, BABY!


In the car on the way to North Ryde at 7:25. It’s a good thing I didn’t sleep at all last night


Garden reno has begun, and @the_snook is quoting Kevin McCloud: “It’s only the first hour of day 1, and already the project is over budget.”


@Ezzles Nah, I’m with non-sewist colleagues. ๐Ÿ™‚


@handmethepanda @the_snook I keep saying at least we don’t need any glazing. The windows ALWAYS come late!
