    @misswired Where is it? We did vermicomposting at the Water Shed in Newtown.


    If there is a prize for having the most hangovers at knitting camp, our cabin has won it. Me, I’m good.


    I finished Rusted Root last night! I frogged it back to put in waist shaping and a rolled edge. Looks pretty cute.. http://twitpic.com/40d22


    Settled in at home after the knitting retreat. Snookums is making me a gumbo. Hangover is fading by the minute…


    Oddly looking forward to getting to work and organising my tasks for the week. Productivity nerd! #fb

  • Home again

    Home again from the knitting retreat. I’m too tired to do a big round-up now, but suffice it to say I had a great time! Special thanks to Lyn for the ride to Wollongong and back…

    Miss Fee and I decided to be virtuous and go for a run! They certainly feed you good at knitting camp. http://twitpic.com/3xy85


    @witty_knitter I choose not to race!


    “It’s Hawaiian, mayte! It’s got the ham AND THE PINEAPPLE, mayte!” http://twitpic.com/3yaw7


    @witty_knitter Indeed. I was leading the cheering section for Pizza Box, but Coconut Boobs won the Best Dressed contest.


  • Knitting Retreat

    Knitting retreat! Here I am in Wollongong, waking up to the sound of birds chirping and scouts stirring. (We’re at a scout camp.) A whole day of knitting awaits!

    Jumper collected. Heading home! No dramas.


    @gemma747 You get the ribbon! They pin it to your jumper. FYI: I lost my collection sheet, but I showed the certificate and that was okay.


    @Justacogitating Not very often, and pretty much always with the Snook navigating. It’s not the traffic so much as the confusing streets.


    @Steffi_83 I’m home in plenty of time! Will see you there. Hope you’re ready for a workout!


    @randomknits You click the button next to the account, then look for the link to Today’s transactions. They show on Today but not general.


    Met @Steffi_83 for her first Spudds workout. She did great! Much better than my first one. We are ass-kickin’ ladies!


    Sitting on my front steps waiting for the Knitting Retreat convoy to arrive. Why, yes, that is a box of Banrock! I’m classy like that. #fb


    Paging @randomknits! What time is dinner? We’re all hungry but we’re about an hour away..


    We made it! There’s a Hawaiian theme happening. Fiona, of course, had to go the demure route. http://twitpic.com/3vt3n


    @witty_knitter She says give her a few more hours. Something about “norks for knitting”. 🙂


    *yawn* I think I’m too sensitive to noise to share a cabin with 6 others. I need a total sensory deprivation tank to sleep.


    @AusVintageGrrl No, I brought em! But they’re just cheapo foam ones.


    Knitting in nature. Trees, hills, sunshine, ocean, clouds… http://twitpic.com/3xdgt

    successfully drove herself all over Sydney this morning. The only drama was right at the very end. (Note to other Sydney drivers: If ‘CAR SHARE’ is painted on a parking space and you don’t know what that means, YOU CAN’T PARK THERE.)

    @witty_knitter Weird thing is I’m not sure she tripped. She was coming from the gym and she seemed dazed. Perhaps a little dehydrated?


    @randomknits I’ll take one! Can never have too many leis. 🙂


    Ooh, have I finally been economically stimulated? ANZ is showing extra cash in the joint account! But oddly for only one of us so far…


    @AusVintageGrrl Planning on it! Got a PM that knightlyknitter (aka Kate from TAS) is in town and will be coming too. I’ll be there 6ish.


    I… was… not aware that patterns exist for knitted tampons. You learn something new every day!


    @witty_knitter @randomknits This is what happens when I browse the Big 6 Rav Boards on my lunch break. BLEECCCCCCHH.


    @randomknits Grass skirts… Are they suitable for those of us who may be a bit, uh, “ample” around the mid-section? If so, count me in.


    @randomknits It’s cool. Snook says I can take his Hawaiian print sarong. 🙂


    @twelveeyes Someone was suggesting HEMP as a possible material. I really hope she was joking.


    Figured out how to see pending transactions on ANZ… and yep! I am officially stimulated! Thanks, KRudd! (Now where is Snook’s?)


    Heading off to knitting… and then a 3-day weekend!


    @knitness WHOA! Okay, first step is, YOU DON’T TWEET IT. Second step is, you need to give us all the juicy details.


    Little nervous. Heading out on my biggest solo drive ever in Sydney to St. Leonards and Homebush!


    @codepo8 Crap. No time! It was great to catch up though. Say hi to London for us! (If you ever get back… 🙂


    Leg 1 complete. Chippo to St. Leonards is a doddle. iPhone was great for checking position. Next hurdle: Lane Cove Tunnel in rush hour!


    Somehow I missed the fact that Show collection doesn’t start til 10. Crap. So now I’m killing an hour at IKEA.


    @Timmay83 I am a very conscientious driver! No tweeting once the car is in motion. 🙂


    @AusVintageGrrl They weren’t open at all yesterday. Just today and tomorrow for collection. It’s cool. I’m hangin’.

    Holy crap. I just found out one of my co-workers was the drummer for this Australian 80’s rock band! (He’s the one on the left building the card house in this video. Drummers get shafted on screentime, I guess.)
