  • Justin Bieber Ruins Entire Nerd Subculture With New Christmas Video

    Justin Bieber Ruins Entire Nerd Subculture With New Christmas Video – HA! Bieber’s new video is STEAMPUNK. Maybe I can convince him to kill off graffiti knitting next?

    Wow. Knitty has a pattern using Morris Yarns. http://t.co/L16cckOZ


    @witty_knitter Yeah, guess he never found the front door!


    @drkknits @witty_knitter The guy’s on Ravelry. http://t.co/ifKvIgNk


    Carol of the Bells Dubstep: http://t.co/RUEafi2R Creepiest thing ever. I need a Dolly Parton chaser now. (Damn you @miftik.)


    iPhone friends: Check out Pose app. Like Instagram but for clothes. We can share pics of colored tights! I want to see your outfits. 🙂


    @the_snook Our criminal is at it again!! http://t.co/UYKHEcLc


    @mrs_sockvictim Has a purple icon. Or go to http://t.co/haB9NsxA. It’s on Android too! @drkknits can play too, I think!


    RT @pose: @web_goddess thanks for the love. we are excited for the tights! (Pose is available for Android too!) // Yay! Colored tights ahoy!


    @drkknits Found you! @witty_knitter and @knitterjp are there too. 🙂


    Flipboard is now available on iPhone. This makes me very happy.


    RT @phoebegoh: Awesome idea. Look forward to seeing these around town! @FoodTrucksSYD


    Still slightly agog at Rav post about parent wanting help with Yr 12 student’s project. Really? My parents made me do my own damn homework.


    @witty_knitter Whoa, that’s weird! Maybe @pose and see if they know of any reason it would be crashing…


    Ha! Bieber’s new Christmas video is STEAMPUNK. http://t.co/auPKNSXc Maybe I can get him to kill off graffiti knitting next?

    The upside of this crap weather: I am getting a lot more wear out of my colored tights.

  • The Revolution Will Not Be Microwaved: Modern Female Protest at Home

    The Revolution Will Not Be Microwaved: Modern Female Protest at Home – Food for thought. (Pun intended.) The Snook likes to cook more than I do, and he’s better at it. But he hates to plan menus and do the shopping. We compromise by pretty much sharing everything 50-50. I’m very lucky in that respect!

  • How not to market science to girls | Bad Astronomy | Discover Magazine

    How not to market science to girls | Bad Astronomy | Discover Magazine – I’m wearing pink right now, but sheesh. If I’d gotten “Beauty Spa Lab” as a kid, I would’ve been friggin’ offended.

    @Gin_ev_ra Sure thing! Is your email blog AT ginevra.org?


    @rachievaichie I’d love to borrow Ginger at some point, if you don’t mind. Maybe I’ll swap you one of mine later. 🙂


    I had a visit from the Wool Fairy! (olimaddy destash haters can suck it. I <3 her.) http://t.co/xvQWkKTo


    @AusVintageGrrl Ahhh, Top Secret Show Item. Beyond that, I cannot say. But in all likelihood you’ll see it at the Opera. 🙂


    Our office power is out! Anybody else??


    Blackout appears to be affecting Darlinghurst area. Some traffic lights out.


    RT @Ausgrid: Smoke reported inside Darlinghurst substation. Power cut for safety, interrupting 5000 customers. Crews on scene.


    @VenessaHunt Sone people are making that argument. 🙂


    Damn! Power just restored!


    @dancingman Saw that. We appear to be on reserve power now.


    @randomknits @Gin_ev_ra Order placed! Emailed you guys.


    @VenessaHunt Isn’t the fact that you’re promoting on Twitter going to massively skew the results? We’d be WAY more likely to use QR codes!


    I think I’m going to make Compost Cookies for the Guild Meeting on Saturday. (paging @drkknits…)


    @drkknits Not sure yet. Thinking choc chips, pretzels, chips, coffee, oats, what else? Bashed up Tim Tams to make them Aussie? 🙂


    @gilmae She is a Baby Magnet!


    @drkknits WHOA. I think I have some mini meringues in the pantry, if they’re not too stale!


    @mrs_sockvictim Aww, I placed the order many hours ago. Sorry! (You can share my patterns though!)


    RT @laimelde: All fans of @neilhimself, tix are onsale for Dec 28th in Sydney!! http://t.co/kA4fGTU6 // Just bought mine! (attn @kunaal84)


    @laimelde Thanks!! I got Early Bird. I couldn’t see any qualifications on that, other than it being cheaper. Did I miss something??


    @laimelde Nevermind! Just read Neil’s tweet. Wow, you got us in early! 🙂


    @mpesce I thought so too, but weather man disagrees with us… 🙁


    @drkknits Emailed you, you nitwit. 🙂


    RT @Y7News: Former Aussie cricketer Andrew Symonds has a new gig. You’ll never guess what it is. http://t.co/UPDOeu9L // I guessed porn star


    Best I’ve felt in 2+ weeks! So far ZERO cough drops consumed today. I think I’m finally getting rid of this thing…


    @nolim1t Thanks Barry! I’m SO not a fashion blogger though. I look like a hipster clown most days. 🙂


    @nolim1t True. But I have no idea about clothes, really. I’m just a narcissist. 😛


    @FlavourCrusader @KathrynElliott Interesting article about women, feminism, and kitchens: http://t.co/llDH6jpd. Last paragraph is great!


    @tomandlorenzo I think your RSS feed is broken! Last post that came through was BAFTA Red carpet 5 days ago…

    @Yarna_ You positive? I’d buy them from you. (Never known anyone to give up Wollmeise before. You and @randomknits are crazy!)


    @drkknits @Yarna_ @randomknits Requires 823 – 1326m. I’m tall with big runner’s calves. 🙂 http://t.co/LQ7nG1r3


    @Yarna_ Okay, you’ve convinced me! Giant hot pink cabled knee socks it is. M&S on Thursday? 🙂


    Purple tights on a rainy day. Sad, sad hipster clown. http://t.co/1F8pQ2Yq

    Red tights, red coat, red thoughts. http://t.co/GCIZQkTm


    @bookchellef Surprisingly: Kumfs! Before they changed names. This was the only non-barfy style that season. 🙂


    @jezfletcher Nah. I find pub w/ good food harder to find than pub w/ (some) decent beers. But beer range should factor in. (cc @the_snook)


    @jezfletcher @the_snook Definitely. Should be “meat pies” or “pickled onions” or something like that. 🙂


    @drkknits @witty_knitter @knitterjp This cool weather is at least letting us get some more wear out of our tights!


    @drkknits @witty_knitter @knitterjp Yes, this “red” looks very different in daylight. Very pink against my red coat. Even Snook noticed.


    @witty_knitter @drkknits @knitterjp I think we both just have plain red.


    Dear friends: Thinking of ordering some stuff from colettepatterns.com. Anybody want to combine shipping?


    @AusVintageGrrl Damn. 🙁 I’m going to get her book; it looks really good. I need general sewing instruction books more than you though!


    @randomknits Cool! Send me an email and tell me what you want. 🙂


    @randomknits Ooh, I was already going to get Chantilly. Is it possible to share patterns? (Not experienced enough to know!)
