    We found where the hipsters go in Wollongong.


    A bunch of supportive knitters out to see Kylie perform in her big concert. She was GREAT!

    Destashing some knitting books. Get in quick or they’re going into our garage sale next weekend! http://t.co/YHR1YdKI


    @drkknits Six sold in the past 5 minutes! The Snook says I priced ’em too low. Meh, I don’t care. I need to DECLUTTER ALL THE THINGS.


    @purple_velvet When I worked there, a woman once asked to borrow a pen and paper so she could copy one out of a book.


    Buy our stuff! Couch (http://t.co/LZDkl357), TV unit (http://t.co/rdasPkhw), and cat automation gadgets (http://t.co/8FV9I9WX).


    Who wants to knit a Giant Cabled Chair Cover? Surprisingly, not me. But you can buy the chair and pattern from me: http://t.co/ys1gRlVH


    @gemma747 Awww, yay! Hi everybody! You all look very rugged up. πŸ™‚


    @miss_reecie That’s what attracted me, as you might imagine.


    Our garage sale next weekend officially has a website: http://t.co/eBUbBjEY


    @drkknits @knitterjp My stomach just lurched.


    Just sewed in my best zipper ever… on the wrong effing side of the garment. FML.


    @stufromoz @laimelde It was like a MΓΆbius skirt. I kept trying to turn it right side out but never could!

    Hey @drkknits – how long does the concert run? Working out when we can get back to Sydney so somebody can pick up our couch!


    @drkknits Eep. We may have to duck out at the very end. I think the 4:41pm train is the one we’re going to have to take.

  • Modified Log Cabin Quilt Blocks

    Modified Log Cabin Quilt Blocks
    I just realised that I forgot to blog the April MetaQuilter quilt blocks! I finished these really early in the month and posted them off to Melissa, the designer for the month. They were a simple modified log cabin. Well, I say “simple,” but it’s just not patchwork if I don’t cut something the wrong size and swear repeatedly. But I managed to get them right in the end. πŸ™‚

    Melissa said to feel free to put in any scraps we had that were LOUD. So the piece with the crazy fruit on it is actually mine!

  • Buy Our Stuff

    Buy Our Stuff!
    Since our house is already chaos due to the kitchen renovation, the Snook and I decided we might as well upgrade some of the furniture as well. As a consequence, we’re having a garage sale next weekend! Saturday, May 5th is the big Sydney “Garage Sale Trail” event and we’re taking part. If you’re near Chippendale on the day, swing by! In addition to the furniture, we’ll also have knitting wool, VHS tapes, and some computer bits for sale.

    If you think you might want some of the furniture NOW, we’ve actually put them up on Gumtree as well: couch, TV stand, and “cat automation system”. (That’s a LitterMaid plus an automatic feeder. The Snook wrote the ad and it CRACKS ME UP.)

    For the knitters, I’ve also posted a few books and things over in the Ravelry Destash thread

    @nomnompaleo Looks great so far! Unfortunately kitchen is being renovated, so can’t cook much. But when it’s done, Bone Broth = 1st on list!


    RT @iusebiro: β€œWe are comprehensively losing this,” the Australian Christian Lobby wrote in an email – re: equal marriage support. PROUD …


    Got fed up with the abomination that is the new Tweetdeck. Managed to locate downloadable old version here: http://t.co/R8ez6FFt. #bliss


    It appears that rage works as an antihistamine. Good to know.


    @gemma747 Have a great time! I’m not going this year, so I want to see lots of photos. πŸ™‚


    @Kat13v Harrrumph!


    @DanielleWarby No! Label isn’t right. It’s Adobe Air app, so it works fine! Put it on my MacBook this morning. πŸ™‚


    @Kat13v I don’t know that they’re any worse than Aussies. US didn’t invent “Tasty” cheese, after all.


    @witty_knitter That’ll be Monterey Jack (or Colby Jack). No weirder than Stilton or Wensleydale or Brie, really. (Also, it’s very good.)


    @witty_knitter You are a third-grader. πŸ™‚


    @witty_knitter Yes. JFGI. http://t.co/lDtEiCAD πŸ™‚


    @eileenDCoE Oh, just dealing with annoying client at work. πŸ™‚


    @eileenDCoE How long are you at the airport?


    @randomknits I think I’m going to make the Meringue Skirt tomorrow! Got some fun fabric from IKEA. πŸ™‚


    @eileenDCoE You in Melbs next weekend? Just found out I might be flying down there for a meeting on Friday. Could stay the weekend!


    @redambition It was all over the papers last week. They’re sending then to everyone in Australia.


    @crumpet @redambition We haven’t actually gotten one yet, but we were wondering the same thing tonight…


    RT @crumpet: “simple tips such as when you are in a car, always open the door with the hand furthest from it” http://t.co/VsdWISLo


    @eileenDCoE Ahhh, damn. Oh well. Maybe another time!


    @imdominating Sounds like Sydney. πŸ™‚


    @drkknits Fun! Aren’t folks knitting along the wall? Too cold?

    Guess what we’ve been doing. http://t.co/apUqwJSE


    That’s better. http://t.co/kCIu0Sei


    Excellent. The @nomnompaleo iPad app is in the Australian App Store, and I’m downloading now! Can’t wait to start playing with it…
