    Thrilled that @SpecsaversAU are going to replace my scratched lens! Their service has been amazing.


    Look! It’s @drkknits, speechifyin’ at the AGM. She’s doing great.

    @witty_knitter @sallypompom I totally agree. The Treasurer’s report blew me away, inasmuch as there was no drama! Such a welcome change. πŸ™‚


    Four hours straight of knitting. I feel like I can’t focus my eyes properly. But I’ve got two perfectly turned heels!

    @redambition LOVE. They’re more delicate than I expected. So pretty! My stupid prescription precludes me from anything but THICK frames. πŸ™


    @twelveeyes The really strong kind. Even with super high-index lenses, they’re still too thick for delicate (wire, invisible, etc) frames.


    @twelveeyes Ah, you’re worse than me! I’m -6.50 and -8.50. If we were cavemen, we’d be dead. πŸ™‚


    @handmethepanda I’d think that too, except that the pizza shops seem to be doing okay with online!


    @handmethepanda Maybe HN site could direct order to nearest franchisee that can fill it…

    @merrinmez Hahaha, nice one! And you’ve got a photo too! πŸ™‚


    @merrinmez @MargotPalk If you want some other knitters to follow, I have a whole list: http://t.co/nkETiiUk. Not all Guild though!


    @the_snook Is a crackdown on a scammy gambling site that was most likely breaking laws really the thin edge of the wedge?


    In case my other Guildies didn’t notice, @merrinmez and @MargotPalk have been assimilated. πŸ™‚


    @mathowie That’s brilliant. I might be able to read MeFi on my phone on my next visit to the States! Thanks for the info…


    @the_snook They were taking money from Marylanders and skirting laws to pay them winnings. Actual laws broken. http://t.co/bVOH7IZV


    @the_snook Maryland “offended” is hardly the term. Everybody knows the US doesn’t do online gambling. They were being sneaky about it.


    @witty_knitter @the_snook Only when he starts sounding like a paranoid, 4chan-reading, conspiracy theorist Internet wingnut. πŸ™‚


    @gilmae @the_snook True. But I worked on a gambling site. And everybody knows you don’t take bets from Americans. They ran that risk.


    @the_snook @witty_knitter Oh, he’s a total wingnut. πŸ™‚


    @gilmae @the_snook We’ve continued the argument offline. πŸ™‚


    Photoshoot in the office! Very cool. @ Sitback Solutions http://t.co/rfyRKJZx


    I’ve been brining a lamb shoulder in the fridge for 3 days & this morning I put it in the slow cooker. Can’t wait to get home and smell it!

    @drkknits Definitely! Turned out VERY nice. πŸ™‚

    I am perpetually amused by how most of the Knitters Guild think A) the Internet is evil and B) somehow its all my fault.


    Hey UOTO. Incoming!!


    @andrewsayer Oh, fun! I just proposed to @the_snook on the bus. He looked up from Reddit long enough to say yes. πŸ™‚


    @drkknits @KnitGuildNSW According to my calendar, 11am.


    @gilmae I think she has a new underwear line there. Target US has been featuring a lot of designer stuff. It’s less daggy than here.

    @stufromoz @andrewsayer @the_snook It’s less exciting when you’re already married. But it’s still nice to reconfirm. πŸ™‚


    @merrinmez Hi Merrin. I can’t see anything attributed to you that you didn’t post. You did “retweet” a post though? Is that what you mean?


    @merrinmez Retweeting is re-posting something someone else said. There’s a button with arrows on it. Perhaps you clicked it accidentally?


    @gilmae Frankly, the whole burlesque thing jumped the shark a long time ago, if you ask me. Target is very much the demographic these days.


    RT @the_snook I love the smell of Subway sandwiches. // Illustrating a point.


    @the_snook I had fun trying to think up something to make you say. πŸ™‚


    @Kat13v Ha, I’d have to disagree with you to care about that one. πŸ˜›


    @amandapalmer I introduced myself to my Aussie office as a “Hoosier.” They think it’s hilarious. They can’t even say it properly.

    Closing the Oscar Contest entries… just about now!


    @miftik Sweet, thanks.


    RT @redambition: My dreams of winning the sock monkey with the dragon tattoo are shattered. I just can’t pick Oscar winners.


    Some upsets so far! Currently a 12-way tie for first place… http://t.co/knreWGf4


    @miftik Ooh. @imdominating counted 39. Verdict?


    The scores on my Oscar contest are going nuts! Some big upsets here. Fingers crossed for a lady winner for the first time in ages…


    Congrats to Jennifer Mullowney, the big winner out of 374 entries in my Oscar contest!


    @redambition Holy shit, Issy! You came DEAD LAST. Rodd thinks I should give you a special wooden spoon award. πŸ™‚

    @glittertrash DPNs are so annoying. I never use ’em. I always do the two-circulars method for everything!


    @glittertrash It can do any size tube: thumbs, socks, sleeves, hats, you name it. Google “socks on two circulars”. That’s how I learned.


    @glittertrash There’s also the “Magic Loop” technique, which is very similar but just uses one long circ.


    @konterkariert @joshprice @nolim1t But I love my Toodledo already. Is Clear’s UI really worth switching?


    @konterkariert But I’m a To Do list power user. Usually have 100+ items in several cats and sub-projects. I don’t think Clear supports that.

    Why aren’t there native OSX ports of Dia and Gimp? I like them, but god they’re ugly in X11. I’d pay for nicer versions.


    @henrytapia But I’d pay! There’s gotta be a business opportunity there. @the_snook thinks it’s rather a technical limitation.


    @that_alison Heh. I don’t knit ’em; I sew them from pre-made socks. But regardless – no way. πŸ˜€
