@knitterjp @drkknits Every time I do an invisible zip, I refer to the Colette tutorial. Really good! http://t.co/6OaXUGqD

Many thanks to Fernando for bringing me a special Mexican lolly! http://t.co/s3vIvnB5
RT @xutraa: It begins #sewvember http://t.co/zEESDABo // Love it!
I blogged about #Sewvember, if you want to publicly commit to joining us! http://t.co/Vfdwb3B5 SEW ALL THE THINGS.
@grassisleena @xutraa I don’t think it’s any sort of “official” thing. So it’s up to us to define it! Sewvember is what you make of it…
@drkknits Is your pincushion a PEAR? Because that is TOTES ADORBZ.
@redambition I would be happy to take some fat quarters off your hands! Looking for saturated colours for my patchwork hexagon quilt. 🙂
@redambition Lightweight! I had like 30 to sift through. 😛
@redambition Ahh, nevermind then!
Frocktober #22. The very last one! A black wrap dress to wrap it up. http://t.co/dhvCMX2A
@drkknits Great job! Aren’t they fun?
@drkknits Mine never seem to go perfectly smoothly. You may have gotten some stitches too close to the coils? Otherwise c’est la vie.
@zephyrama What if they were cookies that she’d made? I’ve been bringing in treats for my office all week!
@zephyrama Party pooper. 😛
@drkknits I can never remember. Whenever I have a tension issue, I refer to this article: http://t.co/WjN5XM85
@drkknits But importantly, that dial only controls the top thread. For the bottom thread, there’s usually a screw on the bobbin case.
@zephyrama So when my Mexican friend offered me a Day of the Dead lolly today, I should’ve turned him down because it’s not my culture?
In addition to Halloween, I also celebrate Bastille Day, Robbie Burns Day, and pretty much any holiday that involves special food. Why not?
@indefensible Yes, definitely. (Spoken as one of the admittedly rare females who likes it when all the dudes look like Magnum PI.)
@twelveeyes Ooh, post photos!
@gilmae Unlike homemade pumpkin treats?
Heading home to hopefully meet trick-or-treaters! I get Freedom Points for every Aussie I convert to be an obese capitalist Yank, you know.
@gilmae But the marketroids will commercialise everything. Don’t throw the Zombie baby out with the bath water!
RT @shonias: In a country whose pop culture consists of about 60-80% US TV/music/movies, this antipathy for “American” Halloween is bizarre.
RT @shonias: If you’re not so into the lollies stuff, just enjoy the dress-ups, tell spooky stories – hell give out healthy snacks, but …
@AusVintageGrrl And involving fun with makeup doesn’t hurt either, I suspect! 🙂
Balloons on my front gate, mask on my face, lollies at the ready. Happy Halloween! http://t.co/BPYjU8aF
@pixel8ted @redambition I spoke to pro recently who said if I’m not planning on selling items, I don’t need one. Zigzag good enough for me!
@redambition @pixel8ted Some have an overcast, which sews seam and binds at the same time? But I just do plain zigzag on my edges.
I carved my jack-o-lantern! Still no trick or treaters tho. Candy is looking tempting… http://t.co/Dw8tXq3z
RT @pedestrienne: @The_Ausmerican Is there any hol in Australia that’s purely secular & all about kids having a good time? I think n …
@redambition @pixel8ted I saw @RoseRed_Shoes’s machine do it, but hers might be fancy!
Trick-or-treaters! It’s @kielmarlow and whenitrainsitpours. They’re grownups, so I gave them booze. http://t.co/2cfTJl2A
@aunty_toots @redambition @rosered_shoes @pixel8ted I’ve got one of those, actually! But my quilt is done with English paper piecing. 🙂
@redambition @manaboutnewtown We did that in the U.S., so I don’t think it’s specific to Australia!
@manaboutnewtown @redambition I spent a week in Mexico and we drank a lot of Coronas, but mostly because we were scared of the water.
@manaboutnewtown @redambition Unfortunately I can’t remember if actual Mexicans put the lemon in. I can ask coworkers tomorrow!
Switched up Halloween playlist for Tegan & Sara, which I suspected I might like. Holy crap. New favouritest group ever.
@manaboutnewtown @redambition I’m not sure brushing our teeth in it was necessary, but hey – nobody got sick!
@pixel8ted @aunty_toots @redambition @RoseRed_Shoes I’m in an online quoting group and learning heaps. Thinking of starting one in Sydney…
@web_goddess @pixel8ted @aunty_toots @redambition @RoseRed_Shoes Quoting? Durrrr. Quilting. Syd group to start in 2013, I think.
@tashj You were the Frida?! I saw you on Twitter. Well done! Such an awesome costume.
@tashj We went as Lindsay and Tobias from Arrested Development. Not many people recognised though. 🙁 http://t.co/Z5xNfmPm

@kcm74 Ha! We’re flying AirNZ via Auckand when we go home at Christmas. Will watch out for it. 🙂
@randomknits Unofficial? That’s totally official! Great way to kick off #sewvember!
Loud protest against CommBank in front of Sydney Hilton today…
Kicking off #sewvember with the Washi dress I made last month! http://t.co/lmbN6n6N
@pauleyphillips Awww, thanks! 🙂
@knitness The colour at Lincraft was “Chilli”. 🙂
