    @traceyh I like them, in a retro ironic way. My aunt has a silver one with a colored light changer you shine from below. Christmas on Mars!


    Holy crap! I made a shirt with actual sleeves! I figured it out! And my embiggening hack worked too! http://t.co/EUeBPdh5

    ARGH! Stupid cheapass Spotlight bias binding MELTED when I ironed it! Have to unpick while neckline and redo. 🙁


    @rachievaichie That was the original plan, but it’s striped so my sewing buddies thought a solid would work better. Must rethink.

    @randomknits I just loaded it successfully. Was already logged in though.

  • RunningBlog: Weeks 44-45

    I need to catch up a bit! It’s not too difficult, considering that I took all of week 44 off running. It seems to have done me some good too! The tiredness and aches that I was feeling in my lower legs has mostly dissipated. I got in a couple good runs in Victoria last weekend, and I got in a good one on Friday. Amazing what a little rest can do…

    Oct. 31: 3.25km (walking)
    Nov. 2: 2.70km (walking)
    Nov. 5: 6.22km
    Nov. 6: 10.30km
    Nov. 9: 2.79km (walking)
    Nov. 11: 6.01km
    Total this week: 22.53km (14mi)
    Total in 2011: 953.63km (596mi)

    To meet my original goal of running 1100km in 2011, I should be at 951.9km right now. So I’m pretty much right on pace now! Just have to hold on for the next month and a half…

  • 25 Ways to Wear a Scarf

    That’s pretty brilliant, even for someone like me who only ever wears the same scarf in the same way all the time. (Fiona will love it! She owns All The Scarves.) The behind the scenes look at the making of the video is cool too.

    Update to add: I think I need to clarify that I AM NOT THE GIRL IN THE VIDEO. I just saw it online and shared it. The video is from Wendy’s Lookbook.

    I seem to have started a fabric collection. That was unplanned.


    @witty_knitter We went to the “Fabric-a-brac” sale where @miss_reecie had a stall! I bought 3 pieces there. 🙂


    @witty_knitter It changed location quite recently, and to get in you had to climb like 6 flights of stairs. Crowded. Good selection though!


    @randomknits Nice! I love my front loader. It doesn’t have a baby cycle though.


    @AusVintageGrrl It’s a nice colour, isn’t it! But for me it shall ever be a reminder of that DAMN IMPOSSIBLE COOKIE A PATTERN.

    @mpesce @realnickhodge @stufromoz Can I enter this contest? I took the Snook to Campion’s “Holy Smoke.” All I knew was it was Australian.

    @stufromoz @mpesce @realnickhodge Pretty much. There’s no coming back from seeing Harvey Keitel going mad in the Outback in a dress.

    Ugh. Couldn’t find “show details” link in new @googlereader. They changed its name and buried in a menu. Didn’t think I could hate it more.


    Movember is my favourite month. http://t.co/Lq5AUcqY


    @alyshajane In the “Feed settings…” menu as “View details and statistics.”


    @knitabulous OH YUM. We went there earlier this year and liked it a lot, despite harried staff and slightly slow service.


    Fauxvember Update: http://t.co/JJ9ukYsO. Snook’s raised $65 so far! (Thanks @SallyPompom and Anonymous for donating…)

    @jannism For the record, I have NEVER uttered that phrase EVER Down Here.


    @jannism I don’t hear it often, but I have heard it. Predominantly from assholes.


    @jannism Is THAT where she went!? Ahhh. She hasn’t been seen here in some time. I assumed she was still trying to “crack” the US “market.”


    @jannism @brockleyboyo Snook’s is coming alone nicely too. Photo on my blog…


    Arguing to Snook that 4 schooners of beer totes equals a healthy dinner.


    @jannism Is that one of those DANCING shows? *looks askance*


    @kunaal84 Well, I’m definitely not hungry. More bloaty, actually.


    @jannism Oh jesus. XFactor is why Scary Spice is down here on work visa.
