Matt at Scrubbles has just launched his new “LitKids Original Art” Etsy Shop. Matt is the extremely talented designer who created my blog masthead (above), and I’ve been reading about this project on his site for a while now. He’s done illustrations of some famous characters from children’s literature (Anne Shirley and Jo March) and he’s printing them on actual pages from the books. They look fantastic. I’ve just ordered both of them. They’d be a great gift for anybody who grew up on those books like I did.

My brief write-up and photos from Knitting Camp 2010: https://web-goddess.org/photos/knitcamp2010.php
RT @AusVintageGrrl: Woo! Yarn recieved a HC, shawl won 1st in Class AND Best Exhibit for handspun article!!! // Fantastic! Congratulations!
@redambition Me too! I think she’s going to be a very popular Halloween costume. 🙂
Claire’s a knitter? Did anybody else see that photo? Ooh, she’s now my favorite to win. #masterchef
I’m sorry. I know many of you like it. I know I will be ostracised. But I CANNOT STAND GOODNEWSWEEK. The not-funny makes me BLIND WITH RAGE.
@gadgetgirl70 I don’t! But it started after Masterchef and Rodd laughed at me as I fumbled for the remote to change it. ARGH.
Just when I thought I’d cracked the back of this lace – a bloody knot appears. Frogged row. What now, @AusVintageGrrl? Russian join in 2ply?
I am not so perverse as to watch GNW when I hate it. I only caught 10s after #masterchef. Snook laughed as I frantically tried to change it.
Me: “Hey, look. You’re on this page.” Snook: “Nice. So I’m like a definitive reference for elbow-licking.” http://bit.ly/cLYz3R
@SupFarn I’m not on there. Snook’s on there. (Pic’s from a few years back.) He must have dislocatable shoulders or something.

Knitting Camp 2010
This was my second year attending the Wollongong Knitting Camp put on by CR&K Daisy Designs. It’s held at Mount Keira Scout Camp overlooking Wollongong. This year about 30 knitters came together for two days of knitting, food, wine, chatting, and relaxation. My photos and write-up of the weekend are here. Bells, Lyn, Kylie, Miss Fee, Anne, Margarita, and Jody have also posted their accounts. (Bells’s includes a truly HAWT photo of yours truly in a vintage frock with a fake rose in my teeth! And Fiona’s got a nice one of me knitting lace. LACE. I KNOW.) -

On a hike/run with @mrs_sockvictim. Just made it to Robertson’s Lookout at Mt Keira! http://twitpic.com/1i773c http://twitpic.com/1i776o
@gusseting @mrs_sockvictim had a slight GPS fail there. Actual distance was just under 7km. 🙂
My vote for photo of #knitcamp. http://twitpic.com/1i9quo Queen @knitabulous is not amused.
Watched #masterchef masterclass from Friday. Snook was inspired to grill us some steaks. YUM…
@mrs_sockvictim @bellsknits @georgieknits @randomknits @drkknits @knitabulous @gemma747 @knitterjp Cheers, my dears! Tomorrow def. recovery.
@knitness We missed you too, Ness! There was a definite lack of true debauchery this year, I think. 🙂
Home from knitting camp and resting up. What time for Justin Bieber tomorrow, @getupgo? 🙂
RT @bellsknits: Wollongong Knitting Camp 2010: http://wp.me/puXlV-8M // Oh dear god. That photo of me made me do a double-take! HAWTNESS.
Rice Krispy Treats recipe: http://bit.ly/b27YHL. Missing: the step where you stir marshmallow w/ the chowmein spoon. @bellsknits @drkknits
@getupgo We’ll see. I’m taking an early mark tonight. I’ll look for you among the screaming Bieberites!
@Lauren_lolly_ In my defense, they made me drink cherry brandy. That stuff is POTENT. No wonder I’m posing like a hoochie-mama! 🙂
@SMinney @bellsknits That would have required corsetry. Instead I was wearing jeans and sneakers underneath. 🙂
@zedsains I just woke up! Phew, glad I didn’t miss anything. Are the tweens on the rampage?
Slept in this morning only to find that Bieber cancelled his concert when he heard I wasn’t there. Very sweet of him.

Baby Felix LOVES The Magic Pudding! Screw the RAS; this is vindication. http://twitpic.com/1hvsvc #knittingcamp
Lyn is shown how to use a ball winder by @mrs_sockvictim. http://twitpic.com/1hza3m
Drinking a beer and triumphantly modeling my St Brigid, which makes me warm and happy. http://twitpic.com/1hzc11
Dinner had a costume theme: Op Shop Formal. I wore my vintage frock! http://twitpic.com/1i00pv
Miss Fee disapproves as Alison has clearly jumped the gun on the Boobquake. http://twitpic.com/1i02bv
Who do those damn knitting princesses think they are?! http://twitpic.com/1i05fn
@bellsknits I think it’s a fantastic mumu! By far the best of all possible mumus.

@gemma747 Ha, no swimmers for me either!
On my way to Central for knitting camp. Anybody know if the Wollongong trains are in the big main country terminal or suburban below?
@mrs_sockvictim Nice one! Are you training it tomorrow or did you get a lift??
Made it to the train! Knitting Camp, here we come. 🙂 http://twitpic.com/1hogra
A yummy dinner, and now the knitting and drinks begin! http://twitpic.com/1hpjuv
We’ve just been informed there’s a 2m tiger snake that likes to lie on the path in the morning. AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! #knittingcamp
It’s @bellsknits having her very first Peep. She liked it! http://twitpic.com/1hpo0b #peephorror #knittingcamp
@SMinney Optus FTW, apparently!
@mrs_sockvictim I am knitting lace. ME. LACE. Craziness. Socks are popular. 🙂
@bellsknits Oh good. Very little sleep for me too. Makes me feel slightly better that I’m not the only insomniac!
Me, @randomknits, @knitterjp, @drkknits, and others knitting outside and waiting for the caffeine to kick in. http://twitpic.com/1hvioj

Smartphone Domino Machine. That’s so cool! Just in case you haven’t had enough Rube Goldberg awesomeness lately.
