    @drkknits http://t.co/3pjfjClXQJ for Korean goodness.


    @drkknits Wow! I did not know that. So it goes in upside down but doesn’t charge?


    @drkknits I had a hell of a time finding it in Sydney. It’s in the secret Narnia Asian grocery behind Town Hall Woolies.


    @drkknits But I wasn’t joking; I literally have a kilo. I can bring you some at Guild if you really want it.


    Wow. Margaret Stove knitted Prince William’s baby shawl. I really wish she was coming to @KnitGuildNSW camp. 🙁 http://t.co/CSpcteb3iI


    @brockleyboyo We took a bus tour in Edinburgh, and an American lady couldn’t figure out why the royal family “OF ENGLAND?!” owned Holyrood.


    RT @TaylorHerringPR: Oh Mr Darcy! A giant Darcy emerges from The Serpentine this morning to launch new Drama TV channel @drama_channel http…


    Week 2 of new job started with – no joke – 8 hours of meetings. And yet I’m energised and happy! That says it all right there.


    The Snook argues that Ugg boots should be disposable, thus $15 Kmart knockoffs are true blue Aussie. Dissenters? http://t.co/OvZkCFIkml


    I have to say, the “tell us a secret fact about you” question for @KnitGuildNSW Camp is the BEST THING EVER. Our members are amazing!


    @witty_knitter How about the first female commander of an air force task group in Kandahar, Afghanistan? REALLY!


    @randomknits You have a bunny. You can never be boring.


    @witty_knitter I can’t tell or you won’t be able to play along! 🙂


    The epitome of the Internet: thirty seconds of my fat cat snoring and twitching beside me on the couch. http://t.co/dUhzV9r6kv


    RT @gruber: Shouldn’t the Message app icon be blue? Green = SMS (gross), blue = iMessage (cool).


    RT @brockleyboyo: Darth Sidious – @JonathanHaynes: David Cameron on the front of tomorrow’s Guardian http://t.co/5JzAIhUSOp


    Today’s challenge – how many times can I listen to @teganandsara’s “Closer” on my commute? Up to 3 so far…

    @Yarna_ Same here! Hoping @knitterjp made it home okay after duelling with asshole on Chippo side street


    @randomknits @gilmae Haha, you were tempted too! Excellent. What colour? Did your dough make the top portion jiggle around?


    Watching Grand Designs, and hilarious Pom just disparaged IKEA while assembling the exact couch I’m sitting on right now.


    @codepo8 That would be hilarious porn that included an IKEA critique. 🙂


    Shocked from seeing strong, capable woman reduced to tears by sniping of others. Making resolution to be kinder to everyone this week.


    @chrisgander Is it really good? The trailer looks amazing. Almost made me want to buy a console!


    Eight hours of hand sewing on the weekend have left me with carpal tunnel pain and a blister on my needle finger.

    There seems to be some confusion about the “sentient” xylophones. They are not actually self-aware. It is HYPERBOLE. http://t.co/MCAdiexJYR

    RT @the_snook: @web_goddess away for one day and I’ve already got a bunch of limey tarts in the house. http://t.co/8WhVEceTd8


    Shhh! I’m subverting the knitting weekend by doing patchwork! @ Leura http://t.co/RpFNv8nujh


    @randomknits What seam? I see no seam!


    @ozdj I’m in Leura. It’s Christmas in July all over the place up here.

    @the_rovingeye No idea about the party; a friend on FB just mentioned she was going to one. And a Google employee told me about the day.


    @witty_knitter @SandraHW Hooray!!


    @drkknits Yay! Are there any beds that are by themselves in a soundproof room? Because save that one for Ms Cranky Sleeper (aka ME).


    My first Agile team retrospective! #bravenewworld


    #YDTestYes – my work ultra book is pretty schmick!


    @drkknits @knitterjp We were in a meeting! Getting ready to head out shortly. (Where is @Yarna_?)


    @Yarna_ @drkknits @knitterjp Bathroom and then I’m coming down…


    @knitdra That’s about as much as I’ve done.


    @randomknits PHEW!


    @brown_note I did! Really loving it so far. 🙂

    I bought onesie pyjamas. For me. With sentient xylophones. #gianthipsterbaby http://t.co/StH5X7cESv


    @surrenderdotty Awww. I think being WHIMSICAL & WARM shows lots of self respect! (I’m not wearing the thing out of the house, I assure you.)


    @surrenderdotty A) yes. And B) it can’t be any worse than my usual trackies and sweatshirt. 🙂


    @surrenderdotty I think you have highly overrated the extent to which “sexiness” is a goal in our household.


    Ooh, I nearly forgot! Happy birthday, @mrs_sockvictim!!


    @lemon_lime @drkknits RUN AWAY! YOU’VE UNLEASHED THE KRAKEN!


    @lemon_lime @drkknits Hey, I like him. He’s a nerd. I respect that. I also get that some people don’t like him. That’s okay.


    @lemon_lime @drkknits My nephew Kurt met him in a bookstore when he was PM and Kevin was very nice to him, FWIW.


    The Snook said: “It’s not as sexy as I expected.” #understatementoftheyear http://t.co/8gpkNi4q7N


    @drkknits I know. I thought that was rather precious.


    Patriotic whoopie pies! Thank you #silpat and #kitchenaid ! http://t.co/kNyxPtF4Vb


    @steven_noble I’m told that “block their cookies” is an effective workaround.


    RT @writingmiranda: You can’t afford me knitting for you. You’ll have to make me love you. #knittertruth


    @witty_knitter @SandraHW Yikes. I’m sure she’ll be okay. Thinking of you both.


    I think I’m packed for the weekend away. Two knitting projects, some patchwork, whoopie pies, toothbrush, wine, and MAH ONESIE. #beprepared


    Woohoo! Giant deer art finally arrived from @TempleWebster! I think we’ll probably hang it off-center to the right? http://t.co/YtcEYF2bMI


    @witty_knitter @surrenderdotty You didn’t see him taking me to task over it yesterday? 🙂


    I saw on FB last night someone going to a “Onesie Party” in Newtown. And Google Sydney are having Onesie Day soon, apparently. #influencer


    But again, I reiterate: I will not be wearing a onesie out of doors. My onesie is too magnificent for the wider world.

    Should Turnbull replace Abbott? http://t.co/zKRiIobhht #YDYes #YouDecide9


    I’ve finally made it onto an Agile team, and I’m loving it. Great to finally put stuff I’ve read from @brown_note & @AgileRenee into place!


    @randomknits By my second week at TC, I’d bought a pair of ugly-ass (but very supportive) Kumfs for that reason.


    @drkknits @RoseRed_Shoes CRUMBLE CRUMBLE! And I haven’t had rhubarb in ages, so I would like that. IT’S PINK!


    @chewxy @brown_note @AgileRenee Yup. I actually had a whole discussion today about ways of measuring velocity. I AM NOW THAT PERSON. 🙂


    @neil_killick @AgileRenee @chewxy @brown_note We don’t do estimates or planning poker. 🙂


    @AgileRenee It appears my predecessor has been counting “tasks”.


    @eobeara So wait – did I miss the meet up? Are you still around? We could catch up in the city tomorrow!


    @drkknits I’ve already decided to make my whoopie pies “patriotic” in honour of US Independence Day. Bring on the food colouring!


    @timparsons Thanks! Sadly, I barely update it anymore these days! It’s mostly just RSS and Instagram glued together.

    Day 2 of new job: Still great! Got to do a deploy to prod (by clicking a literal BIG RED BUTTON). So busy I barely saw @knitterjp though!

    @KitchenAidAusNZ @HouseRetailAus Thanks! I think that’s what we ended up doing. Will ring if any further issues.


    Day 1: LOVING IT. Loving it for the superficial reasons, but also feeling really inspired about the role. This feels like me.


    @knitterjp I’m totally hoping for a lift home on Wednesday, btw.


    @knitterjp You’ll need me to document the trip since you’ll be too busy driving and stuff!


    @knitterjp I think you’re right. I elaborated a bit more on FB. But the superficial stuff matters, and I didn’t realise how much recently.


    @knitterjp Like, I love having a Kanban wall with “Coffee Machine” on it. Small thing, but that session told me a lot about team values.


    @knitterjp That is EXACTLY what I mean. It’s easy to write off, but it speaks volumes.


    @knitterjp Haha, Nerf guns I can do without. But I’m definitely bringing in Computer Engineer Barbie tomorrow.


    Heard about the Arizona firefighters. Immediately thought of Dar Williams’s version of “Cold Missouri Waters.” So unbearably sad.


    KitchenAid + Silpat = 21st century Snickerdoodles! http://t.co/6cj23t4g9C


    @eileenDCoE Sure thing!


    @Helen__H @clepetit Hey, I now work just down the block from you guys! Running is beyond my knee right now, but happy to walk anytime. 🙂


    @Helen__H @clepetit Heh heh. Yeah, fled the bank. Back to web/digital, thank god. I’m at Mi9 (NineMSN) at Australia Square!


    @codepo8 Well done! Very interesting to read. 🙂


    @lemon_lime In my head I was reading along all “… red rocket (pronounced “redirect”)…” and I chuckled. 🙂

    Mixing 1st bread dough in KitchenAid. There’s a lot of play in motor head. Is that normal? It’s actually unlocking itself. @HouseRetailAus


    @HouseRetailAus The top of the unit is not locking securely in place. When kneading, it is jostling itself loose!


    @HouseRetailAus This person seems to have exact same issue: http://t.co/qnFBzotaRF. Trying the suggestions there to tighten screw underneath


    @HouseRetailAus Noted. Just adjusting screws to see if that helps.


    @RoseRed_Shoes I thought it was, but will check that next time!


    ARTISAN AT WORK, PEOPLE. #baguette #magic http://t.co/BUv5nuYScr


    Bread! http://t.co/yQoeTAYw3r


    For the record, these are DELIGHTFUL. No stinkiness at all! http://t.co/9RXOBcJv9W


    The end result: pork shoulder rillettes on French bread. All homemade. DROOOOOOL. http://t.co/YDGc3kN4MW


    @janiematts This was 1/4 the price! And I can’t get past impression of Thermomix as baby food maker.


    Unfollowing @Y7News. Sick of clicking on news tweets and getting nothing but video with no indication.


    RT @knitterjp: Have a great day @web_goddess in your new job. I know you will be awesome. See you later today!


    @knitterjp THANK YOU! See you there later! 🙂


    @drkknits @randomknits @knitterjp But she’s not my boss! She traded me!

    @misswired Not too bad. Rain keeping people away.


    The Snook insisted we check out Aldi. Everybody raves about Aldi. I found Aldi disorganised and weird. It was, however, CHEAP AS.


    Also, I found Marshmallow Fluff. Which means SOME KNITTERS will be getting WHOOPIE PIES next weekend!


    We are definitely not trendy enough for this place. (@ The Grounds Of Alexandria – @groundsroasters) [pic]: http://t.co/kyThOjdRKv


    @jojoconstance I had a list, but I’d organised it according to my local Coles. I was not prepared for a total lack of logical ordering.


    I think it really ties the kitchen together, don’t you? #kitchenaid #love http://t.co/dbS6HBjF9i


    @knitdra Saw them, but didn’t buy. We have a cheap enamel cast iron from Kmart where enamel is flaking off. Snook is skittish now.


    @drkknits HELLS YEAH I’m using the KitchenAid!
