How do you ‘go’ in space? I will confirm that this was definitely something our Space Camp team wanted to know about.

Hmm. I gave an interview to a journalist about the resurgence in crochet a week or two again, and apparently it was published in one of the weekend papers. I haven’t been able to find it online. Anybody seen it?

Wow. Crocheted high heels. Those are, like, my kryptonite.

Small world. The Snook and I headed over to Tempe tonight to the German Club to bid farewell to two friends leaving for a long European bike tour. Imagine my surprise when I recognized a fellow MeFite amongst the party! Turns out he’s the brother of one of our friends. It was really amusing trying to explain to people that we knew each other through a random website. Muggles just don’t get it.

Woohoo! I’m proud to announce that the website of the Inner City group of the Knitters’ Guild is now live.

World Wide Knitting in Public Day
After much debate and research (I spoke to several City events coordinators), everyone seems to agree that the best venue… is the same one we had last year. Yep, we’re making it official, folks.

Where: Sidewalk Cafe + Bar, Sydney Opera House
When: Saturday, June 9, 2007 from 2pm onwards
Bring: Your knitting! A fold-up chair might be useful if you have one, and sunscreen if it’s a sunny day.

I hope to see everybody there!

Today in the knitting shop I had a call from someone “working on the new Bazmark film.” Sweet! (Regular readers will recall that I once gave Baz’s wife Catherine Martin knitting lessons.) So anyway, the chick wanted all this thick gnarly grey alpaca wool and I managed to track it down for her. She came by in the afternoon to pick it up.

Me: So will we be seeing Nicole sporting a jumper from this in the movie?
Her: Uh, no. *pause* We’re using it to make Aboriginal pubic coverings.

But of course.

Oh, dear lord! I will be waking up to the sound of Stephen Fry from now on, for sure.

A righteous rant! Excellent. Just what a bootylicious girl needs after seeing her doctor “Tsk tsk” and pull out the measuring tape… (Link courtesy of Lara.)
