    @jasonandrade She lives in a relatively rural area so not a ton of options. Ended up working for a small local company that did web dev and IT for lots of small businesses. Did that until she retired, and now she owns a quilting shop (always her hobby).


    Knitting with Kris – today’s the day I finish Lanatus! https://t.co/SGy8OKVXiF https://t.co/fmyvmdCz8Z


    It took FOUR HOURS of live streaming this morning, but #lanatus is finally off the needles! I just need to weave in some ends and give it a wash & block. ❤️🧶 @ Munich, Germany https://t.co/Ex8UXSbomW

    @knitterjp @nabiac85 Shared it yesterday! Pretty cool.


    @robfindlay WordPress on Lightsail is pretty fast, but I haven’t tried it on a mobile. You do have to go into the browser-based terminal to retrieve the password… 🤔


    I don’t care how great your tech rant is; if one of your arguments relies on “the solution is so simple your mom could use it,” you’ve lost me. Come up with something better. My Mom was a sysadmin, and she’d think you were being sexist and patronising.


    @dshafik Exactly!!


    @DgtlNmd @dtraub Ha! It’s easy when you just focus on nouns and verbs and ignore all conjugations and declensions. 😜


    My colleague @dtraub has launched the first episode of our new German language AWS podcast! If you speak German (or are looking to learn), you should check it out. 🇩🇪❤️☁️ https://t.co/NtXQe3MRe6

    RT @PavelASamsonov: @web_goddess @neil_killick My grandmother was programming mainframes before these hot take havers were ever born.


    @abertrotzdem I figured, but I haven’t really looked into it since we’ve just been working from home. Will keep in mind though!


    @charis The total is up to three now, but you were still the first!

    @larsklint Amazing!!!


    The body of Lanatus is finished, and now I’m onto the sleeves! https://t.co/SGy8OKVXiF https://t.co/0mvC53QTmk


    @charis You win the trophy, because you are the FIRST! And I love this. What a wonderful project. ❤️🧣🧶 Thank you for sharing!


    Beautiful knitted weather data visualisation. I love projects like this! Well done @porridgebrain – it’s gorgeous. https://t.co/MR2UetgUeG

    @JulieKalitis It’s funny; I griped about it quite a bit while watching it, but now I’m in a FB discussion where people are crapping on it and suddenly I’m a defender. Not everything needs to be High Literature! Gahhhh. 😂


    Guess what? I’m finally at the waist ribbing for Lanatus! Join me as I cast off the body and begin the sleeves. https://t.co/SGy8OKVXiF https://t.co/REYJ9kK2sB


    @lemon_lime Did you know that the guy who plays Anthony, the oldest brother, is gay in real life? He plays a very convincing lusty hetero rake! That scene when he and Siena catch eyes across the boxing match… 😳 *fans self*


    Happy New Year, Aussie friends! Thinking of all of you… ❤️🎆


    @lemon_lime Well, and people of colour! I don’t think it has any pretense towards historical accuracy. It’s an alternate universe that’s much more inclusive, and if the price for that is period-inaccurate lack of bonnets, I will allow it. 😃


    @darthted I’d 100% call the cops on them. What assholes.


    @lemon_lime Lol. I recognised that the music wasn’t period, but I didn’t actually identify any songs until the rainy sexy times in the garden and I yelled out THAT’S TAYLOR SWIFT!!! 😂

    @polleyg Keen to read both, frankly! Hope neither is too much of a setback. 😂


    I can think of a LOT of things to say for the tech industry, but they all fall into the category of Career Limiting Moves so I won’t. 😂 https://t.co/xb0dTcia88


    Homemade pan pizza from the Snook, specially made for NYE. ❤️🍕 @ Munich, Germany https://t.co/i2P8kctSxe


    I took care of dessert. Apple and berry crisp with vanilla ice cream, served with a glass of bubbly. Happy NYE! 🥂 @ Munich, Germany https://t.co/o1DsjMct4S


    @Vel12171 Still going! But none on this pizza. 😂


    The new @bootiemashup is always the highlight of New Year’s! (Whoever came up with “Bohemian WAPsody” deserves an award.) 😂 https://t.co/IFR9AlZgL5

    @Erdbeervogel I’ve just watched some YouTube videos. There’s definitely an art to it! Will need to practice some more.


    He’s always been cooler than me. 😂❤️ @ Munich, Germany https://t.co/3sAEtGutvL


    @JulieKalitis Finally finished the show, and they reveal at the end of the first season!!

    I’ve had one nightmare where I found myself in a very crowded place and was alarmed that no one was wearing masks. Definitely a change from the usual “you’re in school and you haven’t studied for the test!” anxiety dreams… https://t.co/nPTibfshDH

    Not long after we moved to Germany, I started noticing people power-walking with ski poles in nearly every park. I looked on in envy. “I want sticks too!” Finally for Christmas, I got my very own sticks (aka trekking poles)! 😂 https://t.co/oddiMnwRIB

    @FourRedShoes Lovely work!


    I’m sewing another blouse if you want to peek at me in the craft studio… https://t.co/SGy8OKVXiF https://t.co/9BsWcjmdu6


    Finished – another Ruffle Sleeve Top, this one in a pinky-red Liberty Tana Lawn! 😍 #peppermintrufflesleevetop #sewing 🧵🪡 https://t.co/vxpioyxcQR


    @FourRedShoes @Bowermanland Thank you. As the last tweet said, you won’t be able to unsee it now. It’s all over Bridgerton. 😂


    @Vel12171 Well, I’m also notoriously unstable (thanks to a badly sprained ankle in school) so anything that lessens my chances of tripping is a good thing! 😂


    @dtraub Ha! I had no idea. I won’t be stabbing any schnecken with mine. 😂


    Blog post! If you want to see all the work that went into the Snook’s bûche de Noël, there are lots of photos and recipe links here. https://t.co/NtpfaafdJM (Thanks @BraveTart and @seriouseats for inspiring this Christmas masterpiece!) https://t.co/DUwA07J0Pb

    @coder_bec Days!


    Time for some knitting! https://t.co/SGy8OKVXiF https://t.co/TUNJRZJIsn


    @aussielunix It is! Pistachio buttercream inside chocolate cake, with meringue mushrooms and ganache frosting. 😍


    @marksbirch I’m gonna be eating it for the next week. 😂


    @JulieKalitis Really? Damn. I’m about to start the last ep of season 1, and Eloise seems pretty sure it’s the dressmaker, but my money is on Penelope. I hope at least it’s more satisfying than the stupid Dan Humphrey reveal!


    RT @KathyReid: Oh no @Morriswool have a sale on. Goodbye, disposable income.


    Wow. So many different ways you could encode the vaccine binary into knitting! The QR code version would make a cool blanket as well. (What a souvenir of 2020!) https://t.co/s4EoMlpM0y


    @TathamOddie It’s linked in the first line of the blog post I retweeted. 😂

    Kaiserschmarrn attempt #2 -This version has a little more milk, and you whip the egg whites separately. Much fluffier! @ Munich, Germany https://t.co/QAf2R7Mm7v


    The Snook and I only managed 59 between us, but in our defence: we’re old; we’ve eaten a lot of cake; a lot of our favourites have been deprecated (FRAMESETS FOR LYFE); and some of those new ones are bullshit. <ruby>? Please. https://t.co/KUxrfxwBNV


    @dunneteach @emd3737 IT LIGHTS UP 😂


    @codepo8 It was funny that Rodd’s list tended more towards the semantic tags, where mine were mostly about display. Ahhh, memories.


    Me: “I mock them mercilessly, but let’s be honest: the Jeopardy Clue Crew is my dream job.”

    The Snook: “Oh 100%!”

    @minxdragon bûche de Noël! It’s a multi-day process. 😍


    @LukeSleeman @Ilaeria Looks like @randomknits has already sorted it out!


    First attempt at Kaiserschmarrn (Emperor’s shredded pancake). Tasty, but not fluffy enough. I think I need a better recipe… @ Munich, Germany https://t.co/7oBPO03JSu


    I cannot get that Flash Gordon song out of my head, AND I keep mixing it up with Charlie Kelly’s magnum opus “The Nightman Cometh”. 😂

    Plan for the day – knitting and Bridgerton! @ Theresienhöhe https://t.co/BgLce01z5w


    “This is Gossip Girl crossed with Pride & Prejudice!” says the Snook. Yup. And I am HERE FOR IT.


    I just turned to the Snook and said, “@FourRedShoes will not be pleased with all this Half-Up Hair.” Number one faux pas of Regency costuming! https://t.co/M9hLm6c291


    I am assured by the chef that sous vide is the Best Way to Temper Chocolate. 😍 @ Munich, Germany https://t.co/eXqydH8cBS


    Size check. #lanatus is no longer a crop top! But I still want it a little longer… 🧶 @ Munich, Germany https://t.co/WcB9qmTLJE


    Me: “Who do you think Lady Whistledown is?”
    Rodd: “Could it be a Dan Humphrey situation? But he was *out* and wanted in…” 🤔
    Me: “I married the right person.” 😍


    When I requested a special Christmas cake, I never envisioned this. This… is amazing. The Snook is a wizard. I’m incredibly lucky. 🪵🍰🍄🐸 https://t.co/j0A1PfXpYU


    @mlukanuski Pretty much!


    Good grief. How many times can one girl run into the garden unaccompanied and find herself in a compromising position?? 🙄


    @FourRedShoes @Bowermanland Damn it, Hilary. ALL I CAN SEE NOW IS PIPING.

    Current sewing status: sleeves are attached! After lunch, the last steps are sleeves ruffles and hem. #peppermintrufflesleevetop @ Munich, Germany https://t.co/QYMCe2RlUr


    Did you know they make giant @babybel.de cheese? We managed to find one at the supermarket! ❤️🧀 @ Munich, Germany https://t.co/gwlqpHqvqb


    @boundvariable Huh. I did not know that.


    @heinz_gies Turned out very well! He was worried he overcooked it a bit, but it was still fatty and delicious.


    @JplusCplusM @Babybel I believe so!


    Starting up again… final push to finish the #peppermintrufflesleevetop! https://t.co/uiuDRflQTH
