    @randomknits Congratulations!


    Just discovered that Mandy friggin’ Moore covered “Senses Working Overtime.” My brain is dribbling out my ears.


    @drkknits Nope. You can eats it raw. Sometimes Rodd grates it and then cookes it in butter to soften a little. Yum.


    Nothing puts me in the mood for a vacation like a string of 10 hour days… (Finally going home. Brain = mush.)


    Google team outing to see Skyfall means I got to come home to James Bond. PHWOAR! http://t.co/4YhJlOpW


    @drkknits @Yarna_ @randomknits Ooh, yes. Like I said, grated and sautΓ©ed with LOTS of butter. Also roasted with OJ and balsamic. Yum.


    Review: Gingerbread Oreos http://t.co/oQdZ2ceu // WANT.


    @catehstn I was told that suits were going to be tomorrow but somebody had bright idea to combine with Bond. Regardless, I’m a fan. πŸ™‚

    @imdominating You appear to have left me a little bit. Jerk.


    @imdominating Mine is small, thank goodness, as I have to go to work. I am attempting to kill it with fire (ie coffee).

    @pyko I made the transition earlier this year too. A big help: http://t.co/NXKzUBVI


    @pyko I like single window mode. With all my custom shortcuts, it’s great. Except when it crashes.

    Knitters Guild meeting! Selfie with @randomknits. (@ Customs House Library) [pic]: http://t.co/UgK9EmBB


    Lunch! The new cafe is lovely. (@ The Gardeners Lodge CAFE) http://t.co/aqtoufgd


    My first ever Ginger Beer Spider (aka ice cream float). YUM. @ The Gardeners Lodge CAFE http://t.co/Vv5fIUxS


    I LOVE HOBBES SO MUCH. http://t.co/dHmQhuA2


    Stripes are happening! A tiger’s gotta have stripes. http://t.co/FY1WSZRE


    @drkknits Yep. Main body tubes seen with machine, but all assembly and stripes being done by hand. Fingers are sore!


    @catehstn Wow! I hope to see your dress on the night. My party starts earlier that day, so I’m going to try to hit both. πŸ™‚


    @venks79 Nice! Mine is the girl version of that! Did you ride it all the way home??


    @catehstn Haha, yeah, I’m not dressing up as a Mexican. Tossing up between frocks though…


    @catehstn Well, one is a dress I already have. The other is a mythical better dress that I would need to shop for.


    @venks79 Is your bum sore yet? I bet you’ll be walking funny tomorrow! πŸ™‚


    @gilmae @knitterjp @randomknits Haha, Rodd showed me the same link this morning. You Redditors.

    Sirens and cops and fire trucks happening in the Rocks. Anybody know what’s going on?


    Every time I step away from the computer and do some yoga stretches, I feel certain @knitdra gets a happy shiver wherever she is.


    RT @smh: A rescue operation is underway to get to workman who has fallen on the Harbour Bridge http://t.co/X0Zohyr8 // AH that’s the sirens.


    @mikeefreedom Sports doc trying unorthodox treatment: nitroglyerin patches to draw blood to the injured tendon. Seems to be a little better!

    Playing my current fave song on the office speakers. SING IT WITH ME @randomknits: We are never ever ever getting back together! Oooooooo!


    Devo is playing the Sydney Entertainment Centre tonight. I just walked past a 50yo dude in one of those red plastic hats v


    There is a slight problem, in that I am falling in love with Hobbes myself. http://t.co/OfUBQGBR


    @goldfishgeorge Just google “sew hobbes”. It’s the first result. πŸ™‚

    @randomknits Whoa, seriously? That’s awesome! Thank you!


    @randomknits Yep, I’ll be there. Wooo! Thank you!


    Orange fleece! @redambition saved Christmas! http://t.co/mYCgbtVA


    Also, I hit upon a GENIUS idea for weighing down my pincushions. Pennies! Dense, flat, inorganic. Perfecto.


    @catehstn Damn. Sorry to hear it. I was at that point a few days ago but it lifted. Hope yours does!


    @merrinmez Damn – I’ve had that pattern for years! I would’ve sold it on to you, as I don’t think I’ll ever knit it. πŸ™‚


    @redambition @merrinmez Yay! I have gone a bit pincushion mad.

    @drkknits Really? It looks pretty and sunny from my desk. The harbour does look a little more sparkly than usual…


    @goshling That looks *good*. Also like the equivalent of about 8000 Fitbit steps. πŸ™‚


    So what do you all reckon? Can I use felt to make my nephew’s soft toy? It won’t be as awesome as fleece, but I can’t find orange fleece.


    @RoseRed_Shoes http://t.co/ETJFz1xm


    @RoseRed_Shoes Other options we thought of: maybe T-shirt material? Or even a cheap towel?


    @Justacogitating I want to be A DEN-TIST! (That’s my favourite bit.) That and “BUMBLES BOUNCE!”


    @Opheli8 I’ve done a kitty litter cake before, but never with a fake cat buried in it.


    @redambition @RoseRed_Shoes Score! Spotties at Birkenhead has orange fleece. I’ll have to try to get there after work tomorrow.


    @redambition I would say yes, but you’d probably have to go tomorrow too. (I think they’re only open til 5:30 most nights.)


    @redambition So I might as well just go tomorrow and get it right away. But thank you!


    @redambition Sure, if you don’t mind a hitchhiker! I’m usually here til 5:30, but I can make arrangements to go sooner to meet you.


    @redambition What time do you normally hit Broadway?


    @redambition I can arrange to be there then! I’ll email you. πŸ™‚


    @lifeasdaddy This is a more articulated toy, so I don’t think felt is going to hold up as well as fleece. Luckily I found a source!


    @drkknits I am apparently, like, 1/16th Cherokee or something. Or so my Aunt claims. You know, if you need me to approve anything.


    Holy crap, I actually met my knitters guild resolutions for the year! That was unexpected.


    @drkknits Only managed to ride my bike to Guild once, but I did it!


    Playing “Carol of the Bells” in the office and telling my co-workers how @EileenDCoE has a phobia of that song.


    @bonitoclub @witty_knitter I want all of that furniture. All of it.


    Hmm. In terms of non-Halloween cookie cutters, I have: Round, Heart, Gingerbread Man, and Michigan. That’s not gonna work. #christmas #fail


    @drkknits @GeorgieKnits Computer engineer barbie has her own iPhone app! But this year I got my niece a Lottie. πŸ™‚


    Jealous of everyone going to @yow_oz today!


    @leonor_salazar Did you get it from GGD? I got one too but had to cancel due to stupid unavoidable meeting. πŸ™


    So tired of dealing with crappy marketing spam from people trying to take advantage of my sites’ PageRank.


    @redambition Today a marketroid told me in all seriousness how my blog was relevant to the UK’s #1 laser eye surgery provider. Uh, no.

    Hm. Having real trouble finding orange polar fleece to make a Christmas present…


    Anybody going near Spotties tomorrow? Lincraft in the city was a big fail.


    @Helen__H My nephew has discovered Calvin & Hobbes. http://t.co/izYOI8Dy


    @_papergirl Thanks! I don’t have much time, so if I can’t get something local I might just go with backup plan (felt) instead.


    Huh. The SMH updated their mobile site.


    Hey @Y7News – I hate HATE when I click on a headline and it’s video. Please warn your users! Otherwise I’ll unfollow since it’s annoying.


    Today I learned that the LΓΌneburger bakery under the QVB switched sides of the hall. It was surprisingly disorienting.


    @pixel8ted If it’s new, it’s probably just that it’s stretching out. Keep playing and tuning and eventually it’ll stop, I think.

    Took off my headphones to ask someone a question. Discovered the developers listening to “Someday My Prince Will Come” on the speakers.


    Oh look. Convenors letter says that @drkknits is the new Exhibitions Coordinator. One would think she needed things to fill her spare time!


    @merrinmez @drkknits Better than me. We’ve officially been shot down by both Loani and Jenny Kee. Back to the drawing board…


    @merrinmez @drkknits I have a few names to ask, including her. I’ll take care of it in the next week…


    @merrinmez Loani said that she emailed via the website several months ago, but no one passed it along to me. She’s booked up now. πŸ™


    Can you retrain your default stress response? Mine is to cry, and I hate it. On a related note, just leaving work now…


    @betsybookworm I’m better at controlling it these days, but my shoulders and jaw ache from clenching all day.


    The worst, WORST part is stressing over things I can’t control. It’s just useless. Maybe I could by hypnotised or something…


    @artbuds I’d like to enter the Bacon ticket giveaway! kris.howard AT gmail πŸ™‚


    @3rd_Gen_ Good call. My doc gave me some that I’ve been hoarding for overseas travel, but I think I might need one tonight.


    @AusVintageGrrl Just trying to finish off two big projects at work in the next 8 days while also making final preparations for overseas trip


    @AusVintageGrrl Trying to avoid alcohol though. Been leaning on that crutch too heavily in recent months. Not good for me!


    @LeeanneField Something like that. Seems to be a common problem for women. Somebody could make a fortune with a cure!


    HA! Just discovered that Black Black chewing gum I picked at random today in Asian grocery is CAFFEINATED. Perhaps a stress contributor…

    Artisans Market is on. Bunting EVERYWHERE. (@ Eveleigh Market) http://t.co/oDfEDYtO


    @pixel8ted First Sunday of each month at Eveleigh Markets. Lots of local craftspeople and artists. http://t.co/n0YHUhIr


    Hm. What can I use to stuff a pincushion (to give it weight, like rice) that I can take into the US? I think most food products are out.


    @Alegrya It’s a decent size. I could probably put a few of those in the bottom. That’s a good option…


    @Alegrya Yeah, I’m also thinking about the little rocks they put in aquariums…


    @redambition The tutorial on Colette is excellent. I refer to it every time I put one in!


    Thanks for the pincushion suggestions. It’s just for the bottom; the top will be stuffed full of polyfill. I think glass beads are the go!


    @RoseRed_Shoes Yeah, I don’t think they’re gonna let me carry that into the US! πŸ™‚


    @RoseRed_Shoes They might be okay. I’m just not sure how to interpret the rules: http://t.co/s5MypSBA. Figured I’d avoid if possible!

    @drkknits @lemon_lime What was me. I was telling them about it at the Christmas tea. πŸ™‚


    @drkknits @lemon_lime It’s not available til April though, so not a good Christmas present. πŸ™‚

    @3rd_Gen_ Awww, thanks. I was mostly teasing @drkknits because she always takes terrible photos where I have bad posture and 4 chins. πŸ™‚
