    My first major sewing disaster. A very cute pair of shorts…that don’t even remotely fit my thunder thighs. *sigh* http://t.co/HgJqOwEE


    @knitterjp @drkknits Apparently my bottom half is literally three sizes bigger than my top half. 🙁


    @knitterjp @drkknits I’ve been making dresses to fit top half and getting away with it, but obviously need to make some adjustments.


    @zephyrama I only know of yokes on shirts. How would that work on shorts? (This is my 1st pair and I just followed pattern exactly.)


    @zephyrama They’ve got a waist band now; a yoke is just like a wider one? I think I just need a bigger size overall.


    @knitdra If they fit somebody I like, I’ll give them away. 🙂


    Just flipped through all of @SewGertieSew’s book. Head spinning. So much seems beyond me now, but I’m getting there! #shirtdress #dreams


    @zephyrama Do you have a dressmakers form? I think I need one. Proper fitting is getting harder without it.


    @drkknits But… is Arrested Development cheering you up at all? (Hey, hermano!)


    @drkknits Damn I love Lucille. “I don’t understand the question, and I’m not going to acknowledge it.” I should say that more to idiots.


    @randomknits Is that hot pink tulle?? Okay, now I’m having Madonna-in-the-80s dreams!


    @zephyrama I’m going to start watching eBay I think. Or maybe when they go on sale. I saw adjustable ones at Lincrap, I think.


    @drkknits The show? Didn’t see it.


    It took a few hours, but Petey forgave @the_snook for leaving him. http://t.co/iUSjRc3P

    @randomknits I still like it. All the cool kids have ink. (Have I ever shown you mine?)


    Last sleep before @the_snook gets home!!


    Housecleaning, Then Dinner? Silicon Valley Perks Come Home http://t.co/tcT47S5p // Get on this please, Google.


    He’s home! Codependency levels are normalising. 🙂 @ Bourke Street Bakery http://t.co/JDqqLFXX


    Pressies!! Also a bottle of Chanel No. 5. #totesclassy http://t.co/WjTrQYQH


    @RoseRed_Shoes @mrs_sockvictim Yeah, I wanted to be pretty for the pickup! But he was out so fast I didn’t even get to leave the car. 😀


    @randomknits Yep, just in time!

    @drkknits I saw that link and expected it to be an actual work-out-if-you-want-kids thing. Instead it’s just effing stupid.


    I really, really need to make myself a HIPSTER DEER DRESS, right? Universe, you need to enable that. http://t.co/uTqSDYS8


    BIRDS on BALLS, people. BALLS! http://t.co/bfJFtq3J (cc @RoseRed_Shoes, @drkknits)


    @randomknits Yeah, I shortened mine quite a bit too!


    @lemon_lime @drkknits My uterus clenches every time Mitt Romney mentions women. Does that count? (cc @imdominating @Justacogitating)


    @drkknits @lemon_lime I don’t mine the peanut butter part so much, given that at my house it’s me who’s smearing it.


    @redambition Sewing is the new zombies/owls/fedoras/bunting. You will be assimilated.


    @randomknits LOVE IT. So impressed with how you used the border print! It’s stunning.


    I’m actually really upset that @_Shuffs_ squished a zookeeper. I’m sure he didn’t mean it. Poor lady zookeeper, and poor Mr Shuffles!


    RT @AusVintageGrrl: @redambition Wait, sewing is now a hipster thing? #FML 😉 // Only if you refer to your garments as “artisanal”.


    @drkknits Oh no.


    @AusVintageGrrl Oh, sweet, thanks! Let me know next time you’re heading over to Broadway and I’ll come meet you. 🙂


    @drkknits Oh no. Oh no. I’m so sorry…


    RT @manaboutnewtown: Interesting read on the topic of cyclists running red lights via http://t.co/DizAdbMC // I smugly obey red lights.


    @RoseRed_Shoes @drkknits Or an ice cold Mars bar, maybe?


    Beers with @eileendcoe! (@ Pumphouse Bar & Restaurant) http://t.co/Lrx4upXI


    @drkknits @redambition Yes, mine beeps to say it’s turning off. It’s fucking annoying when you’re sewing. I got it at Kmart, IIRC.


    RT @brittanieshey: ERMAHGERD! http://t.co/uCWPaROc // Some great last minute Halloween costume ideas there!!


    @handmethepanda what? I thought they were going gangbusters?


    Great night having dinner and hanging out with @eileenDCoE and her Melbs buddies…

    @AusVintageGrrl @zephyrama How does that work? You got a link to a tutorial or anything?


    @zephyrama @AusVintageGrrl Ahhh, I get you. Useful tip – thanks!


    @Gidgetknits @drkknits @randomknits @knitterjp Those are useful! I suck at growing veg and I’m scared of chickens. You’re IN.


    @drkknits @Gidgetknits @randomknits @knitterjp I guess you’re gonna have to be the Laura Roslin. Which civil liberties shall you cut first?


    @knitterjp @gidgetknits @drkknits @randomknits I have looked at http://t.co/z1nDaBtl before. But again, Chicken Fear.


    @drkknits @Gidgetknits @randomknits @knitterjp I love that we’re talking about a Zombie Apocalypse, and you’re stuck on who to hook up with.


    @TMBGAustralia Was just reading the FB page to see if any tour dates had been announced. Saw you guys in Syd in 2001 and it was AWESOME!


    @knitterjp @RoseRed_Shoes @drkknits @randomknits Corsets would inhibit my ability to kick zombie ass. This isn’t STEAMPUNK, you hipster!


    @jezfletcher A personal favourite. Saw it back in college when doing my film degree. Melanie Lynskey is amazing…


    @zephyrama Oh no! Not good?


    Wee nip of whisky + hot shower + old book finally did the trick. Sleep and I are friends again! Except now I don’t want to get up…


    @drkknits I’m so sorry that happened. It’s good you spotted the ticks when you did! I hope puppy is better soon…


    Frocktober #13. You gotta love a dress where the collar sticks out past the shoulders. #vintage http://t.co/fplHZDcd


    @that_alison Old Vogue! Used to be in Chippo but recently moved to Marrickville: http://t.co/I67r1qIo


    @zephyrama @RoseRed_Shoes I think it was actually homemade too, judging by zigzagging on seams instead of overlocking!

    @drkknits Don’t suppose you’d lend me those? I’m a sucker for English history.


    @mrs_sockvictim Welcome back!


    @miftik @domalessio Aus is doing pretty well, though a lot of it is on the back of the mining boom. IT is going strong tho, in my experience


    @miftik I’d probably have to, like, adopt you though. 😛


    @knitdra @drkknits I have to say, references to political strategy and V. Woolf may have put me off. I like ACTION and PLOTS!


    Working from home but cats aren’t bothering me. Apparently I kept them awake all night too.


    RT @Center4Fiction: Best tweet of the night: RT @sblackmoore: You know who else has binders full of women? Serial killers.


    @BarackObama Would like to donate, but form doesn’t seem to allow American expats living abroad to contribute!


    Received 2 phone calls and an email from @RedCrossAU in the past 24 hours. I donated to them, but geez, they are pursuing me hard. 🙁


    @Ezzles Damn, we’ll miss you! Have fun with your move though… Hope it goes smoothly!


    I have gotten sign-off from @the_snook on the Halloween menu. What, like you don’t project manager your social gatherings?!


    @drkknits @the_snook There is most definitely a spreadsheet. I have Halloween spreadsheets going back 5+ years. Such a dork.


    @drkknits I’m going to start assigning your name to tasks on it. You’ll see.


    Tripping on camera in front of everybody is my nightmare. Hugs, Julia.


    .@jose9 Haha, nice. I should totally institute daily standups and a burn-down chart.


    @drkknits SHORT SKIRT HOOCHIE MAMAS UNITE.


    @zephyrama You are hard.core. I can’t wait to see how it turns out.


    @redambition I sewed some sequins for mine, and it nearly killed me.


    @zephyrama Won’t get my Gertie book til Sunday. Looking forward to it!


    @randomknits I bought 3.5m, so at least I’ve got enough left to do a top. 🙂


    @randomknits Obviously my Lace Incompetence has infected you.


    @drkknits Nice one!


    Finally wearing Hazel today. Seams are itching me. I think I need to start investigating how to “fully line” things. #sensitiveskin


    Frocktober #12 – this is @ColettePatterns Hazel I sewed last weekend! #ifeelpretty http://t.co/U3imjem0


    @knitterjp @drkknits @randomknits Whoa. $2800 for a pair of shoes?!


    @randomknits @knitterjp @drkknits This is a very important skill for Zombie Apocalypse Preparedness. I’m definitely tempted.


    @drkknits @randomknits @knitterjp Obviously we only need one of us each to have these skills within the commune. Specialisation!


    @drkknits @randomknits @knitterjp I hate to break it to you, but Ivory Tower Academic is not a role we need in the commune.


    @drkknits @randomknits @knitterjp Now, Butter Churner or Kangaroo Butcher? Those we need. Get on that. 😛


    New headphones + Spotify’s “90’s” radio station = Kris in protective (and hopefully productive) cocoon.


    @zephyrama I know about those. It’s mainly the one joining the gathered shirt to bodice. Can you still French seam that?


    @Gidgetknits @drkknits @randomknits @knitterjp Only once food, clothes, and shelter are taken care of. Any additional skills? 🙂


    @zephyrama Oh, that’s a good idea! Might try that then. Thanks.

    @knitterjp Love the Karlstad!


    @zephyrama When I put a cardigan over mine, it suddenly took on a very maternity look.


    @zephyrama @randomknits Discovered today that I can’t wear my new Hazel out yet, as not a single bra works with its strap placement.


    @drkknits I think the cartoons reload every refresh, as none of the ones I see are knitting related!


    @Gidgetknits @drkknits Hahaha, @gemma747 beat you to it. You’re both procrastinating. 🙂


    STOP. THE. PRESSES. This requires a complete Halloween costume re-think. I could be SEXY CORN??! http://t.co/OhS7m1xs (cc @the_snook)


    @DrMiaow We don’t tend to go for scary costumes. In the US there’s not such an emphasis on that.


    @randomknits And Rodd could be a SEXY FARMER. Isn’t this brilliant? But then I’d have to devise some cardboard tractor outfit for the cat…


    Just watched Petey Cat stick his head in a water glass and drink. The water glass I keep beside the bed and drink from myself. HURL!


    @blakepup Knitting’s been in a boom cycle for nearly 10 years now. I know lots of public transport knitters – including myself. 🙂


    @Rellarc79 Sewing machine to the rescue!

    @cdeagle Yep. In fact, I know someone who is using it in his job at Google…

    Hey, I was on the telly Friday night! http://t.co/56LZ4QO0


    @drkknits Like 4, maybe?


    This weekend I roasted a chicken, sewed a dress, hung all my clothes on the line, and planned a quilt. Apparently I’m Amish now.

    @toastman Everybody shits on the Stable Table. I LOVE the Stable Table!


    @gemma747 Hey, is that the pizza place? I’ve eaten there! It’s not far from my office. 🙂


    @drkknits Lovely! And a bright colour – huzzah for personal growth. 🙂


    @AusVintageGrrl Ooh, that looks awesome. If you go back anytime soon, I’ll pay you to pick up one for me! 🙂


    Frocktober #11. New dress! Bought at Target (damaged) and repaired by me. http://t.co/3UG5PnRi


    Shirtdress gapes a bit between buttons. Have it safety pinned for now. What’s better: adding snaps or sewing down and putting in a side zip?


    @redambition I thought that was just gluing your boobs to your clothes, not gluing your clothes shut! 😀


    @AusVintageGrrl Ooh, I’d love one. (Are you coming to Halloween? Could get it from you then…)


    @redambition @zephyrama I think I have some snaps at home. They may be metal though. Any reason why plastic are better?

    Sewing party has taken over the whole house! http://t.co/gs6GDPLY


    I made a Colette Hazel today! I hacked a bit to get a better fit. I think I need to make a smaller size next time. http://t.co/x8tiRmoF

    Running late to Guild. Nearly there…


    Frocktober #10. When in doubt, wear all the colours. http://t.co/3sPbNNje


    There are a lot of checked shirts and hipster glasses in here. (@ Hartsyard) http://t.co/VFpW3oyv


    My hipster hypocrisy knows no bounds. I am enjoying a bacon-infused Manhattan. http://t.co/LfjMSdlM


    RT @drkknits: Oh. My. God. http://t.co/cNld9fOC // So, this happened, and it was AWESOME.


    Remember that Mythbusters where they made the pig’s stomach explode? Yeah, that. Right here.

    @lemon_lime At Notre Dame, it meant “made out with at a party.” Caused much confusion when my Mom overheard me talking about hooking up tho.


    Frocktober #9. I defy this crappy, grey, wintry weather. DEFY IT! http://t.co/apfJwVdU


    @drkknits I did not! @knitterjp and I made the executive decision that it was more morally upright to buy a secondhand copy on the weekend.


    RT @drkknits: @web_goddess “even if i am freezzing my hipster arse off” // Pretty much. 🙂


    @mrs_sockvictim I nearly wore my hair in plaits but decided that might be a bit much. 🙂


    @zephyrama Are you doing the Hazel yet? I’ve got fabric ready to go. Trying to decide if I need to make a muslin for the top.


    @RoseRed_Shoes @drkknits Confession: I brought jeans to change into for tonight. Going to see Sydney Kings play with colleagues! 🙂


    @drkknits Oh, whatever. I am planning something with a loose waist. 😀


    @drkknits I have *some* standards. Sweat pants and flanno are only suited to dinner on the stable table at home, right @RoseRed_Shoes? 🙂


    Just bought 3 prints by @robertsonart from Anna at @artbuds. Really looking forward to seeing them framed on the wall!


    @Justacogitating Is that what that was? Apparently womb horror travels across the globe!


    @Justacogitating I don’t see as many photos of him here. To me, he just always looks exactly like Mr. Schu. It’s frightening.


    @imdominating @Justacogitating OH PUKE. He looks like someone put every douche in my college class into a blender.


    Power just flickered in our office in the Rocks…


    @Opheli8 Oh no! I didn’t know that.

    @kunaal84 @lemon_lime @drkknits Well, I feel like ASS and my voice is shot, so you’re doing better than me!


    @kunaal84 @drkknits @lemon_lime Shall I tweet some of the photos Shane was sending me of you? 😉


    @drkknits @kunaal84 @lemon_lime I was just teasing. There was only one, and he posed for it. 🙂
