    A tubular cast-on in the round with 280 stitches is tedious… but at least it ain’t lace.


    GAHHHHH. MOEBIUS STRIP. STUPID TUBULAR CAST ON. STUPID KNITTING. GAHHHHHHHHHH.


    The Mobius strip incident turns out to be Divine Providence: I was totally doing it wrong! This one is MUCH BETTER. Knitting rocks again.


    @imdominating Does he drink milk straight from the carton too? *sigh*


    @drkknits I’m using that grey wool I got from you at destashing. Where did you get it? Any details on what it is?


    @drkknits Not a single from what I can tell. Knitting up *beautifully*, actually! Loving it. Was I going to buy more, or is this it?


    @drkknits I’m not sure I’ll need them. Just good to know there’s a safety net just in case!


    @RoseRed_Shoes @drkknits I only know the one that T.Swift dated. 🙂

    It’s too hot to wear actual shoes. Luckily @the_snook hooked me up. #swag http://t.co/TsXHGcMY


    Officially joined the Pale Women Who Carry a Parasol Club today. #hot http://t.co/NyyiBwO2


    Observatory Hill (which I can see from my office) just registered 44.9C. That’s 112F. Hence the parasol. #effinghot


    RT @steven_noble: @web_goddess You managed to get “parasol” and “effing” into the same Tweet! // I’m such a lady, I know. 🙂


    RT @RoseRed_Shoes: Wha? Just turned over to cricket. Aus 7/37 in 15th over?! I’d be demanding my money back. // Now 8/38!! What the hell?!


    @chrisgander Hey, kinda! Beard and similar glasses. That dude’s got a little more hair though. 🙂


    @drkknits @pinkcatknits Damn you! In thumbnail I didn’t realise there were feet in the photo. Then I clicked.


    @lemon_lime @drkknits @pinkcatknits Only in recent years. Mostly due to a flood of horrible feet photos from knitters.


    @lemon_lime @drkknits @pinkcatknits You did. My own feet don’t gross me out like others’. 🙂


    Dear lace knitting: I HATE YOU AND YOUR ASS-FACE.


    @drkknits @RoseRed_Shoes @lemon_lime I’m just annoyed I didn’t use it as the title of my Easter Show Entry. “ASS-FACE RED LACE SCARF”


    @drkknits @lemon_lime @RoseRed_Shoes @randomknits I GODDAMN DID THE SAME MISTAKE AGAIN! YOU MOCKERS TOTES CURSED ME!


    *Somebody* doesn’t mind that I suck at knitting lace. *Somebody* is the handsomest boy in the whole world! http://t.co/jpe5KGzR


    THE LACE IS OFF THE NEEDLES! Phew. I’m never doing *that* again. Now, who’s got blocking wires? @randomknits?


    This is momentous. There is Android in our house. See? Not total fanboys. http://t.co/pihHV3Wv


    Snook: “It has voice search, see? ‘What is the weather like?’” *reads from screen* “‘What is… a retard?’” Me: “BWAHAHAHA!” #android #fail


    @knitdra Oh man, that seriously sucks. I love the light in that kitchen!

    I bought a Brie from Harris Farm last Saturday. We ate it all up. Now @the_snook is imagining he has listeriosis.

    Holy shit. Manti Te’o’s dead girlfriend was a HOAX? http://t.co/xsVaZQVn Internet, you are SO WEIRD AND CRAZY.


    @witty_knitter Claims he didn’t know. I hope he didn’t. There was a big sentimental push for him to win the Heisman (award for best player).


    @witty_knitter So presumably argument is that it was a ploy to get votes. But it’s the internet – just as easily could be hoax on him too.


    @mrs_sockvictim I thought you were going to Russia. Did you go to Russia?!


    @mrs_sockvictim Good. I read that Russia was really, really, REALLY cold this winter.


    @witty_knitter Whoa. Some commenters guessing that he might be gay, and as he’s a Mormon he was using a fake girlfriend as cover.


    @MrMikeLawson Shower and blow dry at work. That’s what I do.


    Got a reply back from @131500buses in response to my complaint yesterday. This is like my third angry letter to them. I’m so on a list now.


    Somehow I only think about having kids when I hear Paul Kelly’s “Deeper Water.” But that’s messed up, because *SPOILER* the Mom dies!


    Who’s going to knitting? @knitterjp @smark31 @yarna ? I’m thinking of heading straight to the Bowlo…


    @knitterjp @smark31 @yarna On my way! I’m walking so it’ll be a bit.

    RT @BarackObama: Happy birthday, @MichelleObama! http://t.co/brzSPUQK


    Thanks to CBD gridlock, I had an impromptu 25min walk to work in 30C heat. Drenched now. Late. Enraged. FIX IT, BARRY.

    Best AskMeFi ever: Are we given any indication about the nature of Fozzie Bear’s sexuality? http://t.co/LDqpxix0


    Haha, apparently #Fitbit allows me to “taunt” my friends on there. I just taunted @crumpet. TAKE THAT! 😛


    @richbuggy I have no idea what the “taunting” does. Or do you mean on account of exercise? Rest easy; I am mostly sedentary due to injury.


    @chewxy @richbuggy Easier said than done. I’m having an MRI on my knee in about 15 hours.


    Tonight’s FoodConnect veggie box included the biggest Black Russian I’ve ever seen. Get in MAH BELLEH! http://t.co/2cpVzqLi


    @drkknits I cut it up and had enough for three salads!


    @Ascasewwen Zig zag for me too. Although I learned recently from Negroni shirt pattern how to do flat felled, which is awesome.


    Getting MRI on my knee. MAGNETS – HOW DO THEY WORK?! (@ Alfred Medical Imaging) http://t.co/0A6rCGny

    Very disheartening seeing friends get screwed over professionally. Seems to be the theme of 2013 so far. Poo.


    Ouch. That’s gonna leave a bruise.


    I tried to cheat Fitbit’s altimeter by taking an escalator. It didn’t work. Smart, #Fitbit.


    Just officially entered three items in the Easter Show. One cabled thing (as always), one intricate thing, and one wacky thing. #hermione


    Real-time bus data means my Angry Old Lady complaint emails to @131500buses are that much more specific.


    Highlight of my commute: girl on bus reading Lady Chatterley’s Lover with illustration of boob on the cover. #notsarcasm


    @drkknits I wish you were on Spotify so I could hear it too!


    It appears I have converted another person to #paleo. One more and I get a free bison to eat!

    @damana I just mean I’ll be in my training course at the actual time of it. I’ll give it a watch later if I can!


    @lemon_lime YEAH, SUMMER HAIR!


    @imdominating I can’t believe they lasted this long!


    @lemon_lime I bet it’s nice in the heat. Wish I was brave enough to do that! Looks great. 🙂


    New CrossFit gym has opened near my house. It’s $225/month. Is that insane? Is that normal? It seems really, REALLY expensive.


    @tunaranch @Alegrya @cdeagle It’s this one: http://t.co/Sx6gdKjI. It just seems crazy expensive.


    @cdeagle In USD it’s even more. (Your dollar is in the toilet right now.)


    @misswired Crap, just leaving work now! Probably home closer to 7…


    Grr. Did I lend Debbie Bliss’s “Rialto” to somebody? I want to knit something from it and I can’t find it!


    @kunaal84 But you get to vent to me! Remember, I’m always #teamkunaal.


    @redambition Hence the popularity of “Fuck it, lets go to Vegas!”


    One of my co-workers’ ringtones sounds like the ice cream truck. I just nearly jumped out of my chair.

    Buffy marathon + knitting? Suddenly it’s 2005 in my house.


    @misswired Not in the living room. But it was surprisingly cool here today! Especially once the rain came through.


    Slightly worried about the fact that I’ve been quoted 3 different dates as start for my @IIBA_Australia BABOK Study Group!


    @damana Wish I could attend! But I’m starting a training course that night. Hope all is well with you…

    RT @anildash: No better proof that @whitehouse @wethepeople petitions work than their use for memes. Their Death Star response: http://t …


    @stufromoz @witty_knitter Ooh, great! We should start a Proper Iced Coffee Wiki or something. 🙂


    Confession: baby stuff rarely makes me cry. But space stuff, footage of astronauts, shuttle? SOBS. (Watching shuttle documentary now.)


    @knitdra I think so. The one with Challenger explosion.


    @knitdra @knitterjp @randomknits @drkknits WTF is “Wa Wa Nee”?


    RT @Y7News: US boy found alive 19 years after being abducted http://t.co/0DbQ1mrX // I LIVED IN WOLCOTTVILLE. WHOA.


    The Snook has discovered a dead rat in the garden. He’s going to bury it. As far as I am concerned, this is what Boys Are For.

    @goshling Hey, I got my FitBit! What’s your name there so I can friend you?


    @goshling Invite sent!


    Lunch with Aine and Kaz! (@ Blend On George) http://t.co/oW115FXU


    They are playing NKOTB in the office. Everybody is freaked out that I know all the lyrics. Including me.


    @imdominating I told them all how you got NKOTB tix for Christmas one year. I compared it to a 12yo girl now getting 1D tix. #soepic


    @feed_the_chooks Ha! I’m a knitter & made the mistake of saying similar. “Knit Grafittists” then attacked me. They are sensitive snowflakes.


    @feed_the_chooks Ugh. It was 3 years ago, and I was tired of it then. http://t.co/b0svvP0R


    I am on the bus to Guild. I am definitely running late.

    Kris’s Law: As soon as I get a sleep tracker, my sleep starts being great. As soon as I get real time bus GPS data, I catch all the buses.


    @drkknits Or I am a GOD. Apparently my observing a thing causes the universe to bend to my will.


    I have recently become addicted to Fruit Ninja. Then I saw a girl on the bus playing this morning and she looked RIDICULOUS. Now I’m sad.


    @nolim1t I’ve got that one, the Fitbit One. However it doesn’t work with my iPhone 4, so I can only sync with Mac via dongle for now.


    @miftik Dont’ have an XBox. I’m happy playing it on iPad and iPhone. I just meant she looked silly playing it in public. 🙂


    @nolim1t The annoying thing is both my Macs have Bluetooth 4, but it still requires dongle. Apparently they’re working on it.


    @nolim1t And the dongle is TINY. I don’t want to carry it around for fear I’ll lose it.


    @toastman Or the “HapiFork”. http://t.co/xs50AYl1


    @drkknits Are you also ordering your new computer yet?


    @TheBACoach Friended! And you’re kicking my butt today. Oh wait! It’s way later where you are. Now I don’t feel so bad. 🙂


    @drkknits Oh man. I don’t want to sound too hipster, but new Mac unboxings are such a magical experience. 🙂


    @TheBACoach I am. But I’ve got an iPhone4 and it doesn’t sync with that, so I can only sync via a dongle at home til I upgrade phones.


    @witty_knitter @drkknits Hahaha, you have both drunk the Kool-Aid. 🙂


    @drkknits Don’t let us give you unrealistic expectations. You will have frustrations. Sometimes things break. Apple are not perfect.


    @drkknits They just make more of an effort at an emotional connection to electronics than other companies do. Some people respond to that.


    @stufromoz Having worked with a charity recently – they know. But spruikers are MASSIVELY effective for them. It’s depressing.


    @stufromoz It’s like spam. You are not the target audience. 🙂


    @stufromoz It is, though. I saw numbers. Spruikers far and away best return on charity marketing spend. 🙁


    Congrats to @Sitback team (including me!) that worked on launch of http://t.co/2sVpnMKB mobile site! Check it out on your phone. 🙂


    @randomknits @drkknits Huh. I don’t mind iPhoto. I haven’t used other photo management software though.


    @knitterjp Wanted to go, but hair situation is desperate. At the salon instead. 🙂


    I feel the need for a big change. Colour, length, or both? (@ Travis George Hair Lounge) http://t.co/5jZGbrhO


    @drkknits But I’m so booooorrrrred with it!


    @drkknits @BendalongMorgan So you want me to look like… a tiger. Yeah. Not gonna happen. 🙂


    @RoseRed_Shoes @drkknits Just consulted with Ruth. She has a vision. Shorter. Lighter. With perhaps some chunky reddish bits.


    @RoseRed_Shoes @drkknits I’ve had that. Twice. It’s fun, but all your pillowcases go pink and it’s so much upkeep. Fades fast.


    Started by chopping off a couple inches… http://t.co/2PLXbUAG


    There is a lot of foil happening. I always feel vaguely guilt about that, in a bleeding-heart Greenie way. http://t.co/pICWiEH1


    @drkknits Aluminum is a non-renewable resource!


    Shorter, with copper chunks. My head feels 5lbs lighter. http://t.co/nJLHdflB


    @drkknits I think the Aniston-mess is due to the blow dry. Tucked behind my ears it looks much more “Kris.”


    @drkknits You’ve mistaken me for my cousin @imdominating. She’s the one who likes it kosher. 😛 (Bazinga.)


    @MetalheadMick You mean Goodfellas. 🙂


    RT @Y7News: LATEST on fire at #Sydney’s Lansdowne Hotel http://t.co/GHH1sYfF // Whoa, just saw it as I left for work. 1 block from my house!
