Just ran 5K down the mountain. Woo! Now have to run 5K back up. Crap. http://twitpic.com/4r7ogo

Luckily managed to get hot shower before power went out. Hmm. Good excuse to drink beer before it gets warm! http://twitpic.com/4r8rxa

---

The power is out at knitting camp so we’re all out on the porch to catch the light. http://twitpic.com/4r9v91

---

“She’s like a ninja… If ninjas wore grey garter stitch.” #quotesfromknitcamp

---

Breaking News: We have no hope of power being restored tonight. We are now drinking all the chilled alcohol before it warms.

RT @knitterjp: Singing before dinner #knitcampgong in the dark yes the ukelele come out http://t.co/Wbx5JKu

---

Bollywood dinner cancelled due to pouring rain and power outage. Makeup and bling was all I could do! http://twitpic.com/4rdkhm

---

Surprisingly great day! The only thing missing – other than the electricity – was @mrs_sockvictim! Didn’t feel the same without you, Fee!

---

@cdeagle Click.

---

Now I’ve got like 1hr to shower and pack for camp before @knitterjp and the others pick me up! Eeek…

---

@knitterjp I’m in the truck and we are heading through King Street! Be there soon.

---

Drama! We drove through National Pk and there was a tree down! And we drove under it! And we got to call and report it! (Telstra FTW.)

---

Lunch by the sea on a grey, blustery day! (@ Scarborough Hotel) http://4sq.com/iClU0O

---

On our way to @drkknits! Hey, where do you live, anyway? 🙂

---

@drkknits We found it. There was some confusion with a similarly named street in Gordon, but we’re on the right track now.

---

Made it to @drkknits’s house! Yarn-fondling is happening. Coffee and cake are imminent. http://twitpic.com/4qthqz

---

@drkknits @randomknits My beer was being delivered by @knitabulous! But more is always good. 🙂

---

Realization! We ALL forgot flashlights!! Whoops.

---

Knitting Camp WOOOOOO! (@ Mount Keira Scout Camp) http://4sq.com/klIaxZ

---

Me and @knitterjp and a whole lotta wool! http://twitpic.com/4qvgcq

---

Excellent. A TV has been located in the camp kitchen. (Most of us want to see The Dress.) #winning

---

It’s all gone quiet. Everybody at Knitting Camp likes The Dress. Think we’re done with this now. Bring on the beer!

---

@Alacaeriel Hahaha… I said the same thing. Everything I know about Anglican wedding ceremonies comes from Jane Austen!

---

See? Totally rapt. http://twitpic.com/4qwwxq

---

I have strummed my ukelele in front of 20 people. Does that count as a performance? Unfortunately @drkknits is sick and can’t sing. 🙁

---

My hipster credentials have suffered a blow. One of the older ladies has a ukelele. Apparently they have a Seniors’ Uke Group in Kiama.

---

My sleeping bag must be rated for the North Pole. It’s freezing at camp but I still had to stick my legs out last night to avoid suffocation

---

A little bit of city sophistication halfway up a mountain, thanks to @randomknits and @knitabulous. Yum! http://twitpic.com/4r5zn6

---

Jeanette Berman raises the “changing your married name” issue and kicks some ass, IMHO. http://bit.ly/iBxtXE

---

@imdominating @carbolicious HELL YEAH, NEVILLE. http://gallery.the-leaky-cauldron.org/picture/273698

---

@imdominating @carbolicious Yup. I am clicking thorugh 80 high-res screencaps RIGHT NOW. http://bit.ly/mTyqtw

---

@imdominating @carbolicious I love how batshit insane HBC looks in every single shot, even when she’s just in the background!

---

@chrisgander @thezedmiester I can’t go; I’ll be in the ‘Gong. 🙁

---

@randomknits @knitterjp @drkknits @knitabulous I am baking cookies INSIDE other cookies. Wheeee!

---

@drkknits YOU ARE DEAD TO ME. PEEPS? AT KNITTING CAMP?

---

Like Icarus, I flew too high and close to the sun. My Oreo-Stuffed Peanut Butter Cookies are not a success. They are a (tasty) failure.

---

@drkknits No time for Krispies, I’m afraid. You’re getting plain peanut butter cookies!

---

@gusseting My regular PB cookie dough recipe is much softer, and they spread far too much. Need to adjust it to make it stiffer, I think.

---

@knitness @ozquokka @knitabulous I didn’t get an email this year. I just emailed them and asked! Turns out they forgot me. 🙂

---

@missamanda That’s awesome! Well done.

---

Cookies are baked, and sleeping bag is laundered. That’s enough for tonight.

---

Heading to Olympic Park to pick up the Snook’s Hipster Cardigan. Interested to see if that staple I saw in it caused any harm…

---

It’s 9:20am, and there are like 20 people in the queue to pick up items. #fml

---

Cardy procured. No holes that I can see. Now get me the hell out of here…

---

@drkknits Nope. Quite a queue forming though, and lots of cars waiting to get in.

---

@sharre Oddly, I don’t think I got mine removed. They just fell out after a couple weeks…?

---

In the past month, 59 people have found my blog while searching for “pornographic woodwork.” Thank you Gary Gentle.

---

RT @dancingman: Anyone want 2 tix to Bob Dylan TONIGHT? Great seats. HH15 & HH16. Please RT.

---

Officially booked the hotel we’re staying in for the marathon in June. Less than 7 weeks to go!

---

Can’t tell if I really feel sick, or it’s just because of the co-workers hocking up their lungs nearby. I need a face mask.

---

Have recalled that Snook and I actually had to dress Bollywood once before for a wedding. Ready to laugh? http://bit.ly/dUdJUQ

---

@Anthony_Mills I believe the look is called “this is what the costume shop gave us.” 🙂

---

I was annoyed I was going to miss the Chaser’s royal wedding commentary… but it sucks they cancelled it for EVERYBODY.

---

@randomknits Very nice!

---

I like the Chaser too, but man, I wouldn’t want somebody snarking and crapping all over my wedding. Snark culture is starting to depress me.

---

@devvyleys Ooh, thanks. Haven’t tried that song yet.

---

Bollywood earrings, courtesy of Janhavi (@venks79’s missus). She also sent saris with SEQUINS. I feel glamourous! http://twitpic.com/4qap2g

---

@drkknits Janhavi sent earrings, necklaces, brooches, bangles… I got extras. 🙂

---

@DomesticJules Tweetbot does that. I’m still getting used to the UI, but I like the @ autofill.

---

@bezthomas I should’ve taken a photo of their whiteboard with total scones made. I recall it was up over 20,000 at that point…

---

I decided to go with the steek. @witty_knitter @randomknits http://twitpic.com/4poozq

---

A little worried about how much dark brown the ribbing ate up. Hoping @mrs_sockvictim has a backup ball of Tango 204 just in case!

---

@thisismywww I know about it. AFP has been blogging about it for a while. Not watching the feed though. Too busy knitting!

---

CBD traffic sucks today. That is all.
