It amused me to wear a homemade dress to work when Sydney Fashion Week is happening just a few blocks away!

Giant Crocheted Lions
Giant crocheted lions created as part of the UK’s “Cultural Olympiad”. THAT’S INSANE. I can’t believe she did it by hand! I’d like to see more photos of the creation process.
Also, she got HALF A MILLION POUNDS for that. Clearly, my aversion to crochet is misplaced. (Link courtesy of my Mom.)

Is “doyley” an actual spelling? Are there any, ahem, trained archivists who can verify? Because to me, that looks funny.
@imdominating Huh. Dictionary lists it as a valid alternative spelling. Just spotted it in a report from a supposed expert and wondered. 🙂
@Kat13v It was in the Archives committee report I just received. I just thought it looked funny. 🙂
Congrats to @MargotPalk on the best @KnitGuildNSW newsletter I’ve ever seen. Well done!
@lifeasdaddy Yeah, I found it in a dictionary as an archaic alternate spelling. Weird that someone I know still uses it.
@sixandahalfst Excellent. I’m hoping to go so will look for you!
@sixandahalfst I am in fabric-stash-acquisition mode. Got a big new tub from IKEA to put it in and everything. Stand back! 🙂
@drkknits Hahahaha… That was pretty much my reaction too. Too bad all of the other Baratheon bastards are dead! (No Edric Storm on show?)
@Kat13v I should check it out on a lunch hour (or several). But will I only ever see noon then?
My ability to get 431 and 433 bus drivers to stop at Broadway seems to be inversely proportional to the length of my skirt. Funny that.

A very busy day, but the kind that makes me convinced that switching jobs was the right decision. I’m working on lots of different projects, some of them with some very high profile clients. And those clients seem to like me! One of them has insisted I fly to Melbourne for a meeting Friday with another vendor. My first official interstate business trip! I feel very grown-up and professional.

W00t. Persuaded the devs to add me to their email list. This allows my ego to still pretend I’m in a technical role.
@randomknits They suck. Real bad.
First time I’ve had alcohol in a month. Coincidentally, most I have laughed in a month. Coincidence?
Me: “Would you rather I’m chubby and giggly? Or skinny and hot but cross?” @the_snook: “Everybody likes chubby and giggly!”
@stufromoz Ha. I blogged it two days ago, and @witty_knitter has already commented. 😛
Ate 3 eggs & sausage for brekkie, then fit into pants I haven’t been able to wear since Weight Watchers starvation. #paleo #win

@merrinmez @drkknits Not sure! Train is about 90 minutes.
@drkknits @merrinmez We just need to be back at our place before 7 since that’s when the people are turning up.
@drkknits @merrinmez Heh. Problem with train is inconvenient time tables. If we can get a lift home, that would be awesome.
@merrinmez @drkknits Sounds great. See you there then!

Woohoo, old couch sold to some cashed-up students. They didn’t even haggle! Score.
Massive thanks to @merrinmez for the lift home from the ‘Gong tonight…
@merrinmez Congratulations!
