    @randomknits Thanks. Still having a fit issue with armholes. Think I need to make them deeper. Any good link suggestions for that?

    @randomknits Well, when I hold my arms out front there’s pulling along back of armholes. Thought it was shoulder width, but compared to…

    @randomknits …other shirts that fit it’s fine. So now wondering if it’s the arm holes rather than overall garment width.

    @knitterjp @randomknits That’s interesting. I added width to back & front this time, but didn’t touch armholes at all.

    @knitterjp @randomknits Those diagrams make my head hurt. Sleeves are complicated! Might be easier to change my arms. 😀

    @knitterjp @randomknits Heh. Except I’m already grading the pattern up because it’s made for skinny minnies!

    That’s three people in our office now with horrible colds of some sort. I am worried my streak of not being sick all year is going to end…

    @Ascasewwen I found a PDF with a Sorbetto sleeve on it last year. I think it was made by Mena from the Sew Weekly…

    Friday, 3pm. I’m really just hanging around for the beer at this point. MOVE, CLOCK.

    @randomknits WOW! I’ve got one, but it’s hidden and most folks don’t see it unless I show them. 🙂

    @twelveeyes I managed to convert the Snook to the Way of the Cardigan, despite his extreme reluctance. It can be done!

    Just got a marketing email from @GraysOnline… with no obvious way to unsubscribe. *sigh* Isn’t the Spam Act supposed to fix this?

    @randomknits Getting mine was fraught, as my roommate @EileenDCoE was hiding one from her mother. So I had to hide mine too!

    Looks like @the_snook is karmawhoring over on the Reddits again… http://t.co/8RPKyXob

    Friday afternoon beer, brought to you by the great nation of India. Thanks Baddam! @ Sitback Solutions http://t.co/HCRptvpF

    @drkknits @smark31 @knitterjp And @kunaal84 is actually at the match! Keep your eyes peeled for the Indian dude in the stands. 🙂

    Ow. Anesthetic has worn off, and now my knee feels like it’s been hammered and stuck with needles (which it has).

    Oh Internet, you are the Best. Thing. Ever. http://t.co/i5Nd9xNN (I wouldn’t vote for him even if he did a Chicken Dance.)

    Saw some ladies in gorgeous vintage dresses just now in the Rocks. I think @mrs_sockvictim’s show must be filming nearby again!

    @mrs_sockvictim Are you in the neighbourhood then? *waves out the window* 🙂

    @sthcrft Having taught some older people about the Internet at Knitters Guild meetings — Yes. That’s exactly what they think.

    I will admit to being a foodie hipster wanker. http://t.co/OFaKnNMI But I submit to you that no one, ever, has used the term “foochebag.”

    @stringy I use Balsamiq mockups. Love it! You can do simple prototypes, but it’s not as interactive as something like Axure.

    Gnawing on a turkey leg at my desk, just like our caveman ancestors used to do. @ Sitback Solutions http://t.co/n5N2iYRG

    @redambition Yep. They needed them for carving websites into rocks!

    @drkknits @redambition All the caveman hipsters were instagramming their lunches. “TOTES WOOLLY MAMMOTH, LOL.”

    @rainnwilson They had curling irons before electricity. You had to put them in the fire. There’s a scene with one in “Little Women.”

    @drkknits Not for weeks yet! You’ve got to pace your excitement. 🙂

    @RoseRed_Shoes @drkknits @the_snook DAMMIT. I HADN’T TOLD HIM YET.

    Congratulations @avechoco and welcome to baby Mitchell!!!!!

    @knitterjp No knitting for me tonight. Stupid knee. I’m really limping. Going to head home and drink some medicinal wine, I think.

    @drkknits At my house, we have the type that comes in a box. I’d claim it was “hipster authenticity,” but really we’re just frugal drunks.

    WTF. Too bad I never registered with the Consulate. From now on, I’m Canadian, eh?! http://t.co/C1sDBUQP

    @witty_knitter @redambition Just updated mine, no dramas. Did it via iTunes though, as I didn’t have space to do over-the-air.

    Sneak peek at the sewing project I just finished! I’m going to wear it to work tomorrow… http://t.co/kbOkUxPg

    @GOGET Have you been hacked? Got a dodgy DM from your account…

    @randomknits Yep, still trying to get the sizing right. I’ll probably make at least one more. 🙂

    @codepo8 Huh. I didn’t realise that ginger males suffered the stereotype of being feisty and firey as well.

    I made myself another shirt! It’s an altered Tova in cotton eyelet. Very happy with it! http://t.co/pNAUFwMZ

    @mobilephone_au I don’t think a veneer of “charity” really distracts us from the cynical marketing ploy aspect.

    @TimBags @kunaal84 I’m so excited for you guys! I hope it lives up to the hype I’ve given it. Take pics of anything interesting!!

    The Perils of Successful Crowdfunding http://t.co/GD7SjBfY // Lots of crowdfunded projects are disorganised and miss deadlines. Yep.

    @acatinatree Hey, Chippo is totes creative! Well, the part that has my house in it is, anyway. 🙂

    @witty_knitter @randomknits Our school had a special program with a nursery so teen moms could finish school. It was sadly popular.

    @randomknits @witty_knitter We did have rudimentary sex ed. But our town was boring & some kids didn’t see a way out. Sex was distraction.

    What’s an Internet company with no Internet? Sadly, this is not a zen koan.

    @catehstn Yep. Apparently since yesterday. It’s all people from companies trying to cash in on free publicity though.

    @imdominating @Justacogitating Well, I haven’t made it yet. Mine might come out all wonky.

    @drkknits I didn’t know it had a name. I just knew it’s the reason why SOME OF US wear shorts under skirts, and others don’t have to. *sigh*

    @gusseting The phrase “digital diva” makes me wince.

    @drkknits Meh. Can’t get too worked up. We should start a FB page for women who appreciate that line along a dude’s groin. You know the one.

    @drkknits If you can’t objectify the occasional hot Swedish vampire, then teh terrorists have truly won.

    @VenessaHunt As long as you’re not working for the Navy or Coast Guard, you should be okay I think. 🙂

    Second time this week the Google Sydney chef has cooked from my weekly meal plan. Reading my emails? This is getting spooky & annoying.

    Great night catching up with @venks79! Just wish @kunaal84 could have joined us. 🙂

    @kunaal84 @venks79 Poo. Sorry about that. 🙁 Hopefully another meet up soon… *fingers crossed*

    @drkknits Rodd pointed out that I don’t pay US tax (since I’m under reciprocal threshold here). I am the 47%! Where’s my handout, huh?

    Just passed the people camping outside Apple Store. I love my iPhone and will probably upgrade eventually, and even I think they’re idiots.

    @drkknits @imdominating Okay, the baby skeleton tank top is kinda cool in a creepy way.

    @drkknits @imdominating And if I wore such things, I’d totally get that bedazzled G-string just to freak the shit out of the Snook. HA!

    @drkknits @imdominating But really, I’d totes just instagram some a little tweed hat and some sneakers. #hipsterbaby #theworldwantstoknow

    @imdominating @drkknits Probably also be a comet in the sky, all Danaerys-style too.

    Looking at Bohus sweater kits from Sweden… but I strongly suspect they do not look good on women with biggish boobs.

    You know, if I wanted to be a total blogging sellout, I could. My PageRank lures in the marketroids like you wouldn’t believe.

    Well, the microwave works again. So today’s not a total loss. http://t.co/VmGSkf3g

    @redambition When I did my first run a week ago, it kicked in DURING THE RUN.

    Wait. The Mythbusters theme song is arranged by the Dandy Warhols? How did I miss that before?! Is it new? (cc @voicework)

    @voicework Very cool. And since they did the Veronica Mars soundtrack, they’ve done 2 of my favourite shows!

    Just learned you aren’t allowed to donate if you’ve had reflux in the past week, and especially not if it kept you aw http://t.co/frSuz6yL

    …kept you awake all last night. That sucks.

    @randomknits Snook sometimes finds he is wearing an Invisible Jumper of Egregious Approachability. Perhaps you are today too?

    WOO. Thank you @kellymcmahon! Managed to score reservations at https://t.co/9Ydczkl4 in Chicago for Dec. 29. CANNOT WAIT.

    I need, like, a Bat-signal of some sort for @drkknits and @imdominating. This is for you: http://t.co/xEKZZFGb

    FFFFUUUUUUU. Hermione misread the goddamn pattern again, didn’t she.

    @knitterjp @drkknits @randomknits Knitted like 75 rows looking at wrong pattern. Not very different, but aim is perfection so I frogged.

    It’s Running Festival weekend, and I can’t even walk. Knee still hurts, and I just rolled my damn ankle walking home. Going to cry now.

    @randomknits Limping home through crowds of hoochie-mamas on stilettos in Darling Harbour didn’t help. Felt like a lame, sweaty troll. 🙁

    @drkknits Poor thing. Similar straits here. Could not feel sorrier for myself if I was on fire. Let’s agree to try to cheer up tomorrow.

    RICEW: Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation, Wine.

    @witty_knitter I rolled this one about 3 times last year. Had hoped it was all better. Very frustrating.

    @witty_knitter This one goes back all the way to high school, really. Lasting legacy of my aborted tennis career.

    @AusVintageGrrl Well, I know @thisismywww, so I’m a 3. Maybe closer; my BIL @carbocommander is in Movie Biz. Or maybe thru @mrs_sockvictim?

    @theadrianflores I work in the Rocks. I don’t play ball, but I think a few guys in our office do. You want me to ask them?

    @theadrianflores Ha. One of the Sitback guys already plays in that comp, he says, on the “ishares all stars” team?

    @theadrianflores Two brothers are interested in playing: beto.renteria and fernando.renteria, both AT http://t.co/xoEulXu6. 🙂

    @drkknits I was totes going to retweet that HARD, but you’re all protected and crap, so I can’t. But same here.

    @missamanda I can’t stand “mobisode”. But snuggimals is kind of cute. What’s the context? Presumably a toy or pajamas?

    @Ezzles ERIN. When someone says they’re addicted to a thing, you do not tell them about an even more wonderful version of that thing!

    @VenessaHunt @zosainsbury I can do that!

    @knitterjp OOH, I might actually come along!

    @knitterjp Catching a bus. You guys may have moved on by the time I get there. Bowling Club?

    @knitterjp You guys go upstairs? I’ve only been once last wkend, but I think @smark31 said you were usually upstairs.

    @stufromoz @beardbeanie @witty_knitter @anniespjs Definitely a thing for a few years now. “Patent pending” is a little weird tho.

    @witty_knitter @stufromoz @beardbeanie @anniespjs I don’t think they’re *that* creepy, but then, I knitted this. http://t.co/BwECWBLq

    Impromptu decision to go to SnB led to this. Have I hit Carb Rock Bottom yet? Good times tho… http://t.co/gf0JkCEV

    Wait, WTF? Some person wants to start a Guild group in the Inner West? Uh, we already have the Inner City group meeting in Surry Hills!

    @willemrt Sorry, I forget that not all my followers are knitters. 🙂 Knitters Guild of NSW.

    @willemrt We give free lessons. Surry Hills Library, 2nd Sat each month at 2pm. Email learntoknit@knittersguildnsw.org.au to book in. 🙂

    @witty_knitter Fair enough, I guess. I just like having us all in one ginormous group/army.

    @voicework I could see that working at some hipster barbers in Sydney. There’s one in the Rocks where it would fit right in.

    @witty_knitter Weird. I’d feel much more comfortable hiding in a big group than going to one with only a few! Harden up, introverts. 🙂

    @witty_knitter Ooh, that sucks. Need to get @drkknits and @knitdra involved. Maybe revive the welcoming committee?

    @witty_knitter I try to be very welcoming to new folks and sit with them. However, some of them are BORING so it’s a sacrifice. 😛

    @drkknits @witty_knitter @knitdra I can see some validity, given that many of us have experienced being ostracised at other groups.

    @drkknits @witty_knitter @knitdra But I also think some people are big, weird, introverted babies. 😛

    @blakepup That is a tragedy. Take some pepto and go! Porteno is worth it!

    @drkknits @witty_knitter @knitdra This is what happens when you work in an ivory tower all day long, Rapunzel. MIX WITH US COMMONERS.

    @drkknits @witty_knitter @knitdra I would quote some P&P at you about being ill-suited to recommend oneself, but that shit is annoying.

    @witty_knitter @drkknits @knitdra I just dislike needless complexity. One group has advantages of size and resources.

    Can’t decide if my need to see myself as the Veronica in a world of Heathers is a healthy attitude or a lame self-delusion.

    On the plus side, that means @the_snook is Christian Slater.

    @AusVintageGrrl Fair enough. Just think it’s a bit silly to think we need a separate group for each individual snowflake’s circumstances.

    @AusVintageGrrl Meh. I always think there’s a point at which too much choice becomes a detriment. *shrug*

    I know some people who may be interviewing at Yahoo. I have told them to follow @blakkat. Any other Y!7ers I know on Twitter?
