@randomknits Um, you were exposed to if at Halloween. Badly.
Thinking of getting tickets to Regina Spektor at Enmore next month. Anybody else want to go? (cc @drkknits @lemon_lime @knitness)
@knitness @drkknits @lemon_lime They’re a little pricey. $100. Reserved seating.
@knitness @drkknits @lemon_lime Hee. Saturday Dec 8.
@RoseRed_Shoes @knitterjp Hailed like crazy in the Rocks. All melted now though.
@drkknits @knitterjp @knitdra Interesting. Some of us did. Wonder what criteria was. I’ve spent maybe $100 there in the last year?
@drkknits @knitterjp @knitdra More importantly, if you want any of their stuff at 30% off, let me know.
Accordion AND steel drums AND belly dancers in the Rocks at once is too much hipster eclecticism, even for me.
@randomknits @drkknits @knitterjp @knitdra @redambition Weird. Maybe because they have our email addresses?
@Opheli8 That made me smirk.
@drkknits @knitterjp @knitdra Or maybe there’s a Special People Club and me and @randomknits and @Yarna_ are in it! 😛
@3rd_Gen_ I definitely saw ukulele. Possibly burlesque… though it may have just been a Sydney goth.
@knitterjp @drkknits @knitdra @randomknits @Yarna_ Well, @RoseRed_Shoes got it too, so it can’t be THAT exclusive. (I KID!)
@RoseRed_Shoes @knitterjp @drkknits @knitdra @randomknits @Yarna_ I didn’t buy any of those. Hm.
@toastman @3rd_Gen_ Too late! I am on the bus and the busty lass in the black lace is far behind me. Get yourself to the Rocks!
@drkknits Many years ago I wanted a bunny but the Snook said it would chew up all his computer cables. 🙁
@Opheli8 Wait, @toastman’s here? Is this the type of party I want to be at?
#sewvember day 9. This is the first skirt I ever made! http://t.co/BEquphP9
@FlavourCrusader Let me introduce you to @witty_knitter and @thesiswhisperer. They’ve been there.
@drkknits Don’t tell the bunny-lovers, but I’ve eaten them. Tasty little buggers.
@knitterjp @RoseRed_Shoes @drkknits @knitdra @randomknits @Yarna_ Huh. @purple_velvet got hers in the POST so there’s an Even Specialer Club
@toastman When I have time for commissions, I’ll let you know. 🙂
@FlavourCrusader Huh. No idea! Haven’t been over there in a long time…
Discovered former colleague has been talking me up to new client. That was nice. 🙂
@trpurcell GO THE KINGS!
I would like to say some special thanks to whichever one of you left the mini bottle of bubbly at my house at Halloween. *hiccup*
@randomknits Also, DECOLLETAGE.
@witty_knitter I liked the bit about retracting the retraction. It’s like the SMH was being passive-aggressively bitchy.
Hello, Internet. This wistful hipster and his penguin would like you to donate to Movember. http://au.movemb http://t.co/SFUKHuuU
Nearly finished a skirt tonight, but I ran outta zippers. Crap. #sewvember
@randomknits Look in the mirror. Do you see anyone with purple lips? It might have been them.

Went to Atlassian’s new offices tonight to practice my GGD speech for next week. Very cool place – freezer full of ice creams! Thanks @pyko

RT @swandives: I might have to go buy some more of Campos’ Obama coffee blend to celebrate. #election2012 // Amen!
Wait, Maryland’s same-sex marriage law is winning? I am so thrilled for @lemon_lime right now. Almost makes me happier than Obama win!
RT @dana_olinsky: I’m so excited to wake up tomorrow & take my birth control #4moreyears
So in 24 hours: my Melbourne Cup horse won nothing; my Lotto syndicate won me 90 cents; my vote won me a President. On balance: winning. 🙂
My favourite gif of the last election, and it still makes me laugh and laugh. WOOOOO. http://t.co/RcW1hX7Z
RT @pixel8ted: Well… Thank fuck for that. #election2012
“By the way, we have to fix that.” NO SHIT.
I get a thrill when @the_snook mentions me on Reddit. Michelle Obama just got that times, like, a bajillion.
Stayed at work late to listen to Obama’s speech. I’m going to have to walk home in a thunderstorm. Still worth it.
Llook out Llarry! It’s the llandllord! Perfect day. @ Peace Park http://t.co/d40PX2fO

@spycoredotnet I just discovered that place on Monday. I LOVE IT SO MUCH.
@Helen__H You guys are making the rest of us very jealous. 🙂
@Helen__H Yeah. I’m actually coming over tonight to practice with @pyko. Can’t wait to peek at your new offices. 🙂
RT @EaterNY: Momofuku Milk Bar Now Serving Thanksgiving Croissants http://t.co/z9XrCNEC // @drkknits – idea for Sewvember Thanksgiving?
Voting via email is pretty cool, but you don’t get a sticker from the polling place.
Good grief. If I was standing next to the accountant, we’d look like Jess and CeCe from New Girl. And spoiler – I’m not the CeCe.
Woo! Won office prize for Best Dressed Female. WINE! #winning http://t.co/qfVwdlHD
I did not win the sweeps. Hopefully this is because the universe intends me to win the Lotto tonight.
Just remembered why I always associate US election results with a hangover. #MelbourneCup
@mattgemmell Not judging by my Facebook wall. I went to high school with a lot of people who tend to vote against their best interests.

#sewvember day 5: another Tova top, made by me a couple months ago. http://t.co/eAeXxglT
@drkknits Have you ever seen Community? A couple AD actors have cameos in it (including Buster). Also, it’s HILARIOUS.
@drkknits Community takes a few eps to hit its stride. Lots of crazy movie homages, weird genre pieces, etc. Kinda geeky.
@drkknits Yeah, it’s the setup so fairly conventional. Give it some time. Also, New Girl is my new fave sitcom. Loving it.
@drkknits My mom got Joey a little black dog. They named it Theodore Roosevelt Garberick. Rodd started singing”It Ain’t Easy Bein’ White.”
@drkknits We actually did suggest Franklin to them. As I said, it was a black dog. 🙂
Today I sewed little plastic horses onto a giant flower that I plan to wear on my head tomorrow. Seriously. http://t.co/Lli8V33G
I have to say, standing in front of the picked-over rack of cheapass fascinators at Lincraft on the day before Melbourne Cup is depressing.
@pixel8ted Yikes. Did you at least win?
@FortWayneDaily @MiscMarci My Aunt back home in Indiana just sent me the link on Facebook. Very sad for his family. He was a great guy!
RT @MargaretAtwood: Elephant speaking Korean: http://t.co/Odk3Su8e Mr. Shucks the Elephant would like this! // ANNYONG!! HE SAYS ANNYONG!
@drkknits But, but, Halloween is all commercial & offensive & American! Now I’m going to go drink my face off and gamble like a good Aussie.
#sewvember day 6: the Hazel dress I finished last night and a giant horse flower for Melbourne Cup! http://t.co/qgYEYDXq
And in case you’re wondering, I’m wearing the giant horse flower on my head ON THE BUS right now. An old dude smiled at me. 🙂
@AndyVo20 Thanks! Fourth one I’ve sewn, and second of this pattern. I’m getting better…
@AndyVo20 Nah. Just an idea I had with some friends. Most of us are aiming for one thing a week.
Emailed my vote last night for the election. I hope Mourdock suffers crushing defeat so I can tell him he should see it as a gift from God.
Arrested Development reference in the SMH! Paging @drkknits… http://t.co/x0mv0JpM
@redambition Curly red hair! Oh, how I wish it were mine. Very pretty. 🙂
@crumpet Ooh, I like it! Need to do more thrifting in my sewing…
Forgot to mention: I paid my Guild renewal via PayPal last night. THIS IS THE FUTURE, PEOPLE. Exec is testing it now. Live very soon!
@randomknits Very pretty! I am so envious of your easy access to such beautiful fabrics. 🙂
Just suggested we form a syndicate for tonight’s Lotto drawing. Enthusiastic reception from staff. MORE MONEY TO LOSE, YAY!

Holy shit. I sewed myself a fully lined Hazel dress! Not perfect, but definitely wearable. Just need to hem… #sewvember http://t.co/6SCgmuOG
@knitdra Yay for finished dresses!
@kateslemay It’s the fabric. It’s a border print along one edge!
@knitdra @randomknits Mine’s for Melbourne Cup! But I still need a hat…
Back is worse. Self-medicated with wine and episodes of Community.
@devvyleys Too late! Kris and Snookums in the morrrrrrning!
@venks79 Wow, great run!
@randomknits Beautiful! I think the design suits you better than me.
RT @jchyip: This American Life on loopholes http://t.co/HNyvgysF
#sewvember paralysis. Need to make my Hazel smaller on top but bigger on bottom. They join with gathers. Can I just do that?
@randomknits So just don’t worry about it? The gathers will take care of everything? Just wondered if I should angle in top of skirt.
@pixel8ted They don’t align though; it’s gathered so you can force it to align. Just wondering if it will be too full with extra width.
2nd #sewvember question: should I line the Hazel? Fabric is kinda sheer. Make full dress and hang inside out? Or is it trickier than that?
@pixel8ted I’m mostly asking those who have already made it if it’ll be bulky. @randomknits thinks I should just go for it, so I will.
@RoseRed_Shoes You might be right. I don’t even know where to buy one! Suggestions?
We hung our new art today. Suddenly our place feels very grown up! Thanks artbuds! http://t.co/THHCWagG
Day 3 of #sewvember: finished 1st motif of quilt! Also started cutting dress… http://t.co/GiPYMWr9
Thanks for all the lining advice. Decided to make dress up to point of attaching facings and then decide! Also, border prints = MEGA FUN.
Crap. Appears cutting my fabric last night re-injured my lower back. Bugger.
OHMYGOD NOTRE DAME HAS TIED IT UP! SCREAMING IN CHIPPENDALE. THIS IS NOT GOOD FOR MY INJURED BACK, BUT NEVERTHELESS: JIG TIME.

There are only two pieces of crack pie left. A colleague just accused me of giving him diabetes… It’s a fair cop.

Decision! I will be making @ColettePatterns Hazel for Melbourne Cup next week. There’s nothing like a deadline… #sewvember

@AusVintageGrrl @redambition Ah, thanks for the offer, but I can’t make it. Important Baking happening tonight!

Day 1 of #sewvember: used rotary cutter to make 214 white squares, destined to be hexagons. Then sewed some on quilt! http://t.co/STnQqHMi
@pixel8ted I had already done the central flower motif, so not quite as fast as it looked. 🙂
Got bored waiting for sausages to cook, so I had some cold Crack Pie. Holy moly.
@knitdra @drkknits If Sewing Thanksgiving happens, I could make another. (I needed 2T of milk powder. Snook bought me 1kg. I can make lots.)
Just watched chick on bus apply liquid liner & mascara without poking self in eye. Then driver hit brakes & makeup bag spilled EVERYWHERE.
