My main entry for this year’s Sydney Royal Easter Show knitting competition: the “St. Brigid” jumper from Alice Starmore’s “Aran Knitting.” Took me three months to knit!
My original knitted toy for this year’s Sydney Royal Easter Show knitting competition: “Albert the Magic Pudding.” Based on the book and watercolour by Norman Lindsay.
@AusVintageGrrl I know, and I get it. But I’m trying to play International Negotiator over there, so be nice! 😛
St. Brigid collar is knitted. That’s it for the Easter Show knitting. Now it’s just the final bits of assembly…
Collar sewing attempt #1: too big.
Collar attempt #2: Still too big. ARRRRRGH.
Collar attempt #3: GOT IT!
@witty_knitter It’s okay. I was just disregarding the pattern and trying to ease in a collar 4 inches too long. 🙂
Ladies and gents… Is that a collar I see before me? St. Brigid is complete! https://web-goddess.org/img/deskcam.jpg Now for beer.
@venks79 WHOA, way to set a goal! You can do it!
HOLY CRAP. Just saw sneak preview of Kick-Ass. So effing awesome! (My inner 11yo needs a purple wig and some KNIVES.) Go see it in 2 weeks!!
Demographic at Kick-Ass was about 90% comic geek dude. Which is cool, as I am, in fact, their Queen.
@AlienCroons I will admit to gleefully swearing a LOT on the way home. 🙂
Strong desire to dye my hair purple and take up martial arts. Hit Girl is my new idol.
@Kat13v First preview I’ve been to where we had to surrender mobiles. Tight security. Satellite chat w/ director afterwards was fun.
Heading to the doctor to become a cyborg. This is going to be interesting.
Poor little emo cyborg girl! https://web-goddess.org/img/deskcam.jpg (It didn’t actually hurt that bad.)
@mrs_sockvictim Oh yeah, it’s fine. The bandage is just to prevent bruising. Doesn’t hurt at all.
@Bevfam I’m just being overly dramatic. It’s Implanon. Keeps me from having babies. 🙂 Doesn’t really hurt at all!
@Bevfam You totally can! That would be awesome. But I’m not wearing the skintight uniform. 🙂
@sharre I like Sydney! Granted, I’ve only known/lived in the CBD and Inner West. But I much it prefer to Indiana/London/Chicago, etc.
HOLY CRAP. Just saw sneak preview of Kick-Ass. So effing awesome! (My inner 11yo needs a purple wig and some KNIVES.) Go see it in 2 weeks!!
My, there are an awful lot of dickheads wearing silly hats in the city tonight…
…And I just watched the Lady Gaga/Beyonce “Telephone” video. I have to say, I was totally wrong about Gaga last year.
@twelveeyes I thought she was a no-pants-wearin’ talentless famewhore. She’s obviously brilliant about image manipulation though!
Me: “It’s like Andy Warhol and Madonna had a baby and she lives and walks among us.” Snook: “All the best people don’t wear pants.”
One seam and one collar to go… And the best part is: it’s a PERFECT FIT! http://twitpic.com/193y3x #stbrigid #cabledmonstrosity
@knitterjp @mrs_sockvictim Petey is currently yowling his “Good morning world!” song all over the house.

@Opheli8 You just jinxed it.
Enjoying fine beer at Merivale Chuck Hahn dinner. Yum!
Just waiting for the dessert… Getting a little tipsy! http://twitpic.com/18ws11
@Opheli8 It was great! The place wasn’t even full though; should’ve told you earlier so you could come. Good food and good beer.
@miss_reecie GAH. St. Brigid still has 3 seams and a collar to go. On the plus side, I know for sure the arms are long enough!

Chewbacca says you should have your own domain name. Good tip.
@DDsD Don’t even go there. If I caught this “bandit,” I’d tie them to the tree with their own stanky acrylic!
@bellsknits Thinking of coming to Canberra for Easter. Any hotel recommendations?
Where’s a good place to stay in Canberra? Assuming we’ve never been there before, and that we’ll have a car…
@bellsknits @drkknits Waldorf is booked out Easter weekend, sadly! Novotel looks to be about $250/night. Yikes.
Thanks for Canberra suggestions! Further info: thinking of a last minute trip on Easter weekend. And no, Sydney does NOT count. 🙂
@bellsknits Empty now? Or empty over Easter? If it saves me $700, I’ll drive 20 minutes happily! 🙂
@bellsknits Hm. Are you serious? I’ll email. Don’t want to impose, but that would be awesome. Me, Snook, & @eileenDCoE want to see the Art!
@bellsknits You might find your stash enhanced at the end of the visit! A secret visit from the stash enhancement fairies would be required.
@bellsknits I Gmailed you!
@witty_knitter Pre-sale tickets for the extended period went on today, so if we confirm we’re going, we’ll buy immediately.
Iron Chefs are cooking in Sydney again on June 6-7: http://twitpic.com/18ozm9. (Snook and I have been before. It’s once-in-a-lifetime!)
@witty_knitter Good tip. Thank you! Let us know of any other Canberra recommendations, please. 🙂
Thank you for all the birthday wishes! http://bit.ly/cB172j
@gilmae More like 29 and forty-eight months….
@missamanda I think so! Looks like Fiona from the first season: http://bit.ly/byRGuM
Flashblock has changed my life. Seriously.
@gadgetgirl70 Not unless the second time is free!
@Opheli8 @Whingeing_Pom The Saw Doctors are playing the Metro. We seriously debated on going…
@miss_reecie YOU. ARE. ON! And my first word was hilarious. 🙂
Birthday present from the in-laws arrived. Easy Tiger! http://twitpic.com/18pp8d Cuddliest dressing gown ever.
@Ezzles I’m so sorry, Erin. That sucks. I hope you’re okay.
The amazing @mrs_sockvictim delivered the amazing Barbie cake… and now I have an amazing sugar rush. http://twitpic.com/18qjd3
