    Office playlist today has gone from Vanilla Ice to Richard Marx. Coworkers are now eyeing me suspiciously.

    @randomknits Very pretty!

    Frocktober #8. It’s the gumboots that really pull the outfit together. http://t.co/9GB8npiR

    Another relaxing lunch with the @Sitback knitters! http://t.co/UDCiL3ss

    @drkknits Congratulations! And it’s nearly the weekend, YAY!

    RT @DanielleWarby: OMG Kittens in the city! Best. RT @RachaelLonergan: KITTENS KITTENS KITTENS http://t.co/AeWgz4Zd

    @knitterjp @drkknits Ahh, I was hoping you were going. @kunaal84 and I were thinking of trying to fight our way into Topshop/man.

    @knitterjp @drkknits And then I thought I’d go to knitting and drink beer and eat pizza, aka HAVE THE BEST NIGHT EVER.

    @AusVintageGrrl What’s going on? You all right?

    @drkknits @knitterjp I used to have it, but I think I gave my copy to @EileenDCoE… It’s *so* good.

    @drkknits @knitterjp SUCH A BOOK SNOB. But if I don’t drink too much beer tonight, I think I can manage that. 🙂

    Fought my way into TopMan to have a sticky beak with @kunaal84. I think @the_snook might need a lobster shirt. http://t.co/QTmVmYYr

    I just joined the Bowling Club. My first ever Aussie Club membership! (@ Bowlers Club) http://t.co/2vuULTuM

    @drkknits @arwenamin @Gidgetknits You don’t know ‘clunker’ yet. Wait for the Woman King. *dry heave*

    @drkknits @arwenamin @Gidgetknits Robot Threesomes never end well.

    @drkknits To bastardise JFK, we do not do Frocktober because it is easy. We choose to do these things because they are hard!

    @drkknits Also, my knees are wet.

    @toastman Congratulations on your last day. To new adventures!

    RT @likeomg: I think I’ll be wearing matte lippy today… http://t.co/7xV0KCUn

    @drkknits Even of I’m the last Frocktober/Cylon in the universe, this Frocktober/Cylon is going to keep her word! (And freeze.)

    @drkknits I wish. I’d totes be an Eight if I could have that hair.

    @drkknits That line about what you say to seduce a woman? 100% agree.

    @drkknits Hilarious, but made me miss @the_snook. He bought me a little glass pumpkin as a present. Isn’t that nice?

    @drkknits @the_snook Oh, he would live in squalor without me. No question. But he is appreciative of my organising efforts.

    @randomknits Some books I read advocated that. I’ve done it a few times, but other times just tossed it in. Haven’t been screwed yet.

    The forces of evil took away my ability to play music through server. So I hijacked speakers and plugged them into my laptop. BOOTY TIME.

    @drkknits Slow down! It’s just a presentation. Go for a walk. Have a drink of water. You can do this!

    RT @imdominating: And on John’s birthday too. GIMME http://t.co/FSzI4tZY // Paging @drkknits and @kunaal84…

    RT @randomknits: Yep, and 20%…? http://t.co/STTsoa9d // Clearly, “sadness.”

    @ptinutz I have seen that site before! Very beautiful patterns…

    @drkknits NO. NO. It’s all about anticipation, see?

    @drkknits You around on Feb 7? Booking Amanda Palmer tickets for Syd.

    Just bought @amandapalmer tix for Sydney for me, @the_snook, @drkknits, and @kunaal84. W00000t!

    @drkknits Hit it. There are some clunkers coming up, I warn you!

    @lemon_lime @drkknits Pre-sale limited to 4 tix! Buy your own now. We got ‘front’ which means unallocated seats. You can join us!

    @lemon_lime @drkknits That was my first choice, but it didn’t seem to give the option. Instead it appears we’re DANCING, BABY.

    I have a zucchini bread in the oven and a warm cat on my lap. Happy.

    @misswired @stufromoz Is that what that is? It’s scaring the shit out of the cats.

    Fireworks were apparently part of Verge Festival? Somebody tweeted pic: http://t.co/rkItm8Fm

    @venks79 @rachelbotsman Oh, I wish I could’ve heard her! A friend of mine introduced me to her work earlier this year.

    @codepo8 Not only would I sign up to that service, I’d volunteer to be a moderator.

    @drkknits Nice one! Doesn’t it feel subversive to wear clothes you made in public and people don’t even know or suspect? #badconsumer

    @knitterjp @drkknits I’ve got both of those things!

    Frocktober #6. Mod superhero. http://t.co/ZuMNP3dF

    @knitterjp @drkknits This fabric is some sort of knit though. I’m scared of sewing knits! Haven’t done it yet.

    @knitterjp @drkknits I don’t actually know! I’ll have to go to the bathroom and check the label. 🙂

    @knitterjp @drkknits I checked this sucker. Polyester/Elastane, baby! This thing won’t biodegrade for 1000 years. 🙂

    Just ordered Gertie’s New Book for Better Sewing! http://t.co/NlOMu5o5 I am loving those patterns. Wiggle Dresses and Shirtwaists – yay!

    RT @ThePunchHQ: Gillard wins a verbal stoush, and maybe an election too: To use a modern phrase, Tony Abbott just got “owned”. H… http …

    @Fiestywenchyone @zephyrama @colespitz I cheated. Snook’s in US for work so sending all kinds of shit to his hotel. Got some Colette too!

    Hooray! Just spoke to @gadgetgirl70, who is going to join us at the next sewing party! (cc @drkknits @knitterjp)

    @GeorgieKnits @RoseRed_Shoes I won’t get it for 2 weeks yet. Had it sent to Snook in US so have to wait for him to come home 🙂

    @drkknits @gadgetgirl70 @knitterjp She’s, like, a proper sewer with lots of experience. So she can help us try-hards! 🙂

    @RoseRed_Shoes @drkknits @gadgetgirl70 @knitterjp Are you coming? I thought you were sick!

    @RoseRed_Shoes @drkknits @gadgetgirl70 @knitterjp Sweet! Okay, rest up and get better…

    @ptinutz More sewing than knitting right now, but still knitting. How have you been? You’ve caught sewing addiction too? 🙂

    RT @women_say: Congrats @JuliaGillard for standing up to sexism and misogyny. Retweet to respect what Julia fought for today. http://t.c …

    @crumpet Portrait of the Artist as a Sexy Lady!

    @aimee_maree When I visited Google, they had free tampons and a shared hair dryer & straightener in the bathroom. That was nice.

    @ptinutz So many dresses! I am obsessed with sewing dresses right now. 🙂

    Frocktober #7. This is the Washi Dress I made this past weekend! http://t.co/SDEy2lef

    @drkknits I bought a bunch of “invisible” socks, which makes wearing them with dresses/shorts a lot easier!

    @rachievaichie Nah, my first one was the Colette Parfait – which was even harder! http://t.co/oNMbUKXT

    Mother-in-law SMSed to offer me her collection of 70’s-80’s Burda sewing magazines with patterns. YES, PLS.

    Oh yes, I have control over the office iTunes today. Guess what, coworkers? You’re getting the entire Best of Bootie catalog.

    Frocktober #5. I wore my Docs because I felt like kicking Monday’s ass. http://t.co/xJRVnYbZ

    @RoseRed_Shoes @drkknits Mine are 11 years old. Got em in London, and still practically brand new! (I should wear them more…)

    @VenessaHunt Hey Ness. I’m trying to remember the name of that annual report people used to send ’round with stats on mobile usage, etc…

    @VenessaHunt Was it the AIMIA one? Is that what I’m thinking of? I figured you’re the best person to ask… 🙂

    @VenessaHunt Awesome. Thank you!

    RT @JennaPrice: I am woman, hear me roar, in numbers too big to ignore. #destroythejoint #iamwoman

    I’ve known @JennaPrice was awesome for years. So proud that now everybody is learning it too. #destroythejoint

    Got fabric to fix existing dress… plus make one more. I have officially crossed the line into Stash territory

    @stufromoz It was a good thing I didn’t. Ended up quite ill in my stomach. Something didn’t agree with me. 🙁

    @drkknits @knitterjp Now have material for at least 6 dresses and a couple skirts. Eep!

    If, like @drkknits, you are getting into sewing, I highly recommend the Sew Weekly http://t.co/8SErjNTs for inspiration!

    @drkknits @GeorgieKnits Me too. I suspect Pinterest could be a major time suck, so I’ve avoided!

    Very cute border print – I think this one will be a Hazel! (How’s yours going, @zephyrama?)

    Shirring is awesome. http://t.co/clbCUREO

    New dress nearly finished! Just need to hem and finish armholes. http://t.co/Q1V8s0La

    @drkknits @RoseRed_Shoes Fit is better than expected. Slightly bodgy around “U”, but not too bad. How long should the skirt be, you think?

    @drkknits @RoseRed_Shoes I lengthened pattern 3 inches as it said above the knee for “normal people”. 🙂

    I am such a freakin’ hipster, but I think I might have to buy these wooden owl cross stitch frames and make a necklace. http://t.co/LmQ6ny3Q

    Washi Dress is finished! Hemmed to above the knee, because I am a hoochie-mama. Also, POCKETS! Very happy with this. http://t.co/aZeI5dKG

    @knitdra Very cute!

    @drkknits How very Dear Mr. Henshaw of you.

    @drkknits Yep, it’s one of my faves. Just reminded me of it, because Leigh uses letters as a prompt to work things out in his life.

    @drkknits I went to this one while I was there. Very nice! http://t.co/O6wQRzgq

    Just discovered that @kunaal84 “never really got into Battlestar Galactica.” o_O What say you, @drkknits?

  • Shared today on Twitter

    @drkknits That’s nice! I always think white washes me out so much.

    @drkknits Remember, with a print going in one direction, you usually need more fabric than you do with an either-way design.

    @randomknits @drkknits But I had no idea how forgiving sewing was when I started. I was intimidated thinking you had to do everything right.

    @randomknits @drkknits Only starting to feel confident now I know what “rules” I can discard. 🙂

    @drkknits I have one too. It fell out of my wallet on the street and I snatched it up embarrassed like it was contraband.

    @randomknits @drkknits I think I’m going to do the Washi dress today, but my cotton voile is thin. Should I worry about “underlining” it?

    Starting to see upside to single living. I feel like @imdominating. Why isn’t there a Die Hard marathon on TV RIGHT NOW?!

    @stufromoz I am very tempted! You’ve got extra tickets? Or buy at the door?

    @randomknits @drkknits Quilting with Liberty… The Amish side of me is AGHAST. YOU DON’T DO PATCHWORK WITH FANCY STORE FABRIC!

    @stufromoz Thanks, will keep it in mind! Depends how obsessed I get with today’s sewing adventures. 🙂

    @randomknits @drkknits If you’re usin’ up scraps, then it’s A-OK. AMISH THRIFT FTMFW.

    @drkknits @randomknits It’s because I’ve got a splitting headache from working til 2am last night. Makes me a bit nutty.

    Another upside to singledom: blaring Taylor Swift in the house. Yes, really. Suck it haters.

    @drkknits Haha, that one needs to be a meme with something cute in all caps.

    @drkknits I have lived here for ten years, and that still trips me up at least once a year. Nearly ruined a whole batch of cookies last yr!

    @imdominating I will after. I’m heading out to get mah hair did.

    @drkknits If you get bored with skirts, this was the first top I made: http://t.co/ISQFwQ7V.

    @stufromoz I know, but it’s HUGE in AU IT industry. Recruiters contacting me for jobs from there all the time…

    RT @drkknits: Drunk Blondie mix. Yuuuum. http://t.co/rDjh9dyX // I want to go to there.

    @stufromoz Well, yeah. You have to separate wheat from chaff. I will never respond to Precision Resourcing again, f’rinstance.

    Foils are out. In the process, got the best head massage of my life. *yawn* I need a nap.

    End result of the Re-Blondening. Thanks, Travis! @ Travis George Hair Lounge http://t.co/Ysixk9CP

    @randomknits Is that a Peter Pan collar? How stylish!

    Dear Universe: I require one of these, stat. http://t.co/vUSNXOsR

    @RoseRed_Shoes Thanks! I am really tempted to chop it all off for summer, but I need it long for Halloween. 🙂

    @drkknits Come on, Roslin does too! I love how she’s always advocating throwing people out airlocks. She rocks.

    Late lunch. (@ Toby’s Estate w/ 2 others) [pic]: http://t.co/5bGUVgRe

    I am the queen of finding cute, slightly damaged dresses at Target and wrangling a discount. 10% off for a belt loop that takes 2min to fix!

    @ScottRhodie Mine did, and I’m on iOS6. Was your time zone correct?

    Realisation: underlining only the front side of a dress was a stupid decision. Luckily, it’s fixable. Will need more fabric tho.

    Hey @pozible, I am trying to fund @crumpet’s project but the site is not letting me login with Facebook (which I used previously). Problem?

    @crumpet If it will freakin’ let me in!

    @gusseting I’d have to use another email address. It keeps telling me to use Facebook with mine since that’s what I used before.

    @crumpet @pozible I got in via a different browser, so it may have been some problem specific to Chrome on my system right now.

    I totally just found my prize winning entry for the Easter Show this year: http://t.co/2JxD19Gp.

    Frocktober #4. Day of the Dead. http://t.co/yKlDUec9

    I find it easier to do chores when I’m home alone. I guess it’s because I know that if I don’t do them, they won’t get done.

    Who’s still awake? Anybody? Just me then?

    And that’s officially my first 14-hour day on the timesheet. Time for sleep.

    @drkknits I was waiting to hear your reaction. The next eps only get MORE TENSE. 🙂

    Ooh, Easter Show Schedule is out! Let’s see if the knitting categories changed.

    @drkknits Did you get to “Bitch took my ride” yet? I love Starbuck.

    @drkknits Also, Anders. Beautiful Samuel T. Anders is coming your way.

    STRANDED KNITTING! THICK LACE OF NON-DETERMINANT FIBER CONTENT! WE ARE THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS, PEOPLE!

    @drkknits Hahaha, yeah, she’s really bad in those first few eps of season 2.

    @drkknits I really, really want you to wait to watch the start of season 3 with me, by the way. They’re my favourites.

    @drkknits @mrs_sockvictim It’s definitely frack. 🙂

    It’s the kind of night where I’m missing @the_snook quite badly. Still at work, lots to do, really stressed out. He always talks me down.

    @drkknits Look what just got posted: http://t.co/sBwyfSYK

    Wanted to go to Stitch and Bitch. Still at work. #fml

    @goldfishgeorge Nobody knows! The Guild have made “suggestions” to them in recent years, and some of them have been adopted.

    Home. Wine. Kitty cat cuddles and a little cry. Back to work.

    Yummy frozen dinner prepared by Past Kristy has cheered me right up. Thanks, Past Kristy!

    @RoseRed_Shoes It does not. And thanks to you, when I put it on this morning I thought, “DAMN. WOULD BE BETTER WITH POCKETS.”

    @imdominating It’s from Target! And it had a torn seam, so I even haggled a discount and then fixed it MAH-SELF. #pioneerwoman

    @redambition Tweetbot still supports posterous. I like Tweetbot.

    @drkknits Interesting. Downside of buying material intended for making drapes, I guess. I’d turn it.

    Lincraft has 40% off dress fabrics this week? Okay. I guess I’m swinging by after work.

    @drkknits Are you doing overcasting? Or is that straight stitch plus zigzag?

    @drkknits Usually you’d have some space of seam allowance. I sew my straight seems 3/8 or 5/8″ inch in. Then zigzag right on the edge.

    RT @richbuggy: Hey @barryofarrell, we voted for you *not* Greiner. More roads only encourage more cars. Spend the money on public transport.

    @drkknits Good grief, you’re cranking them out already!

    @drkknits Looks great! So elastic waist, but not as full as the previous one?

    I hit the Lincraft sale. It appears I will be sewing some red dresses. http://t.co/RWx7uN0o

    @drkknits SO SAY WE ALL!

    @RoseRed_Shoes I even have an actual pattern in mind for each of them! And I bought tailor’s chalk! I FEEL TOTES PROFESH.

    @zephyrama Ooh, synchronicity! One of my red fabrics will be a Hazel. I think @randomknits bought the pattern…

    Ugh. Gods, Callie sucks. #bsg

    Had a lovely weekend with @drkknits as a houseguest, but now I’m officially a Single Crazy Cat Lady for the next fortnight.

    @drkknits YAY, SEWING MACHINE TIME.

    Thinking about trying to find a BA mentor in Sydney. How do you make that connection? Anybody got suggestions? (cc @brown_note)

    @knitterjp @brown_note I haven’t – not familiar with that! What is it?

    @drkknits Can you look for some tailor’s chalk for me? Either triangles or rectangles, I don’t care. http://t.co/rWgPdy2z

    @drkknits @randomknits @RoseRed_Shoes That looks almost exactly like my Janome. I almost wonder if it’s a rebadge?

    @drkknits @randomknits @RoseRed_Shoes Ahhh, not quite. Mine has three knobs at top: http://t.co/a8SLem0k

    RT @redambition: I really, really want this sewing machine. It’s gorgeous! http://t.co/v83BIacc // ME TOO! Saw it last week. (cc @drkknits)

    @zephyrama @redambition Really? Not metal? Crud.

    @drkknits Are you manic? PACE YOURSELF, WOMAN! 😛

    @richbuggy That’s not actually true, by the way. http://t.co/ynSg0oUR

    @SassieQ Damn! Too bad @the_snook is overseas for a few weeks. He would’ve been perfect for you. 🙂

    @richbuggy The easy solution to that problem is not putting anything there you would care if others see, really.

    @richbuggy Ahhh, I just block all that @zynga shit. Never see any of them nowadays. NO, I WILL NOT SEND YOU A GODDAMN COW.

    It’s 9:30pm on a Tuesday, and the whole project team is online and working. I do like my team.

    @drkknits You need a cat or two to sleep on your head. That warms you right up.

    Uh, just read “Member Behaviour” section of latest Knitters Guild Convenors Letter. WTF. Now I’m intrigued…

    @RoseRed_Shoes People badmouthing the Guild Exec? Bitching about new processes? Putting off new members? Really weird.

    Survived my first night alone at home. (Well, alone with two cats.)

    They’re taking the window coverings down off Sydney’s first Topshop. How excitement.
