    @drkknits @kunaal84 He forgot his computer and had to go home, so it’s being enjoyed by the guys on his team. They seem happy. šŸ™‚


    @knitterjp @crumpet @drkknits I was toying with a similar idea. Maybe we could call it “Sewvember” ? šŸ™‚


    @crumpet @knitterjp @drkknits So we’ve got #sewvember hash tag… Now just need some “guidelines”. I don’t think I can finish 1 thing a day!


    @crumpet @drkknits @knitterjp So really we’re saying 4 things in #sewvember. I can commit to that. And wearing homemade things too!


    Frocktober #20. Skirt and cardie. Are we done yet?? http://t.co/BREjogy2


    New UX contractor started today, sitting opposite me. She’s from Chicago. Go figure.


    @ericscheid Ahh, you know her?


    @drkknits Pace yourself! You’ll burn out before #sewvember even officially starts!


    Hey Coles. Putting the ā€œBack Painā€ medicine and creams on the goddamn bottom shelf is a pretty mean trick. #ouch


    @toastman @ericscheid So how do @pixel8ted and I know all the same people but have never crossed paths before today??


    Very hot bath + Epsom salts + two glasses of red wine = more relaxed than Iā€™ve been in a month. My back is still buggered though. šŸ™


    @misswired I forgot to mention @the_snook bringing me a piece of Girardelli dark chocolate with sea salt he got me in San Fran. So good.


    Just got a phone call from a random Knitters Guild lady saying she hoped I didnā€™t have any family in the storm. That was nice, I guess.


    RT @MikeDrucker: I think he’s busy being the fucking President during a hurricane. RT @realDonaldTrump: Im not hearing much from Obama . …


    @redambition @randomknits I think some folks donā€™t know a lot of Americans – or arenā€™t on the Internet much – and want to feel connected.


    @redambition @randomknits Thatā€™s my attempt to be charitable, anyway.


    RT @RomneyStormTips: Everyone in the path of the hurricane should head to their second or third home to safety #Sandy #RomneyStormTips

    A beacon on Broadway shows lifeblood of city – Oh! So that’s what that big red thing on the brewery is. It’s been there for weeks now.

    @drkknits @knitterjp YAY, invisible zipper foot! I love it.


    COME ON, IRISH! Lets finish off Oklahoma! WOOOOOOOO!


    I haven’t worn it in years, but I was inspired to go dig it out during that last time out. AND HOLY CRAP, WE http://t.co/ki4gPxcn


    @ljc @aaronistic Love it! Great costume!


    @jeffsorr We had a Jon Snow at our party. He had a fro wig, fur cloak, and Longclaw. I followed him around going YOU KNOW NOTHING, JON SNOW.


    @drkknits And COLOURS! Nice choices!


    Pulled a muscle in my lower back during party cleanup yesterday. Back spasms for the past 12 hours. This kinda sucks.


    @drkknits I actually said to Rodd it may have been from dancing a jig! šŸ™‚ But exacerbated by trying to nap on the couch, I think.


    @drkknits Clean up was actually really quick. No dramas there! Just was too tired to do anything else.


    RT @ebertchicago: The poisoned Halloween candy: An urban legend. http://t.co/2qnyDsXM


    @drkknits Nah, didn’t eat any more. I brought a huge chunk of it today for @kunaal84.


    @glittertrash When I was learning German, I found it really helpful to get children’s/YA books that I knew well! Less trashy. šŸ™‚


    Haha, it appears that some Aussies thought my Halloween costume was a literal “SLUT”. No, I was Lindsay Funke from Arrested Development!

    So far we are WAY ahead of schedule for the Halloween party. Huh. Maybe I *should* be a project manager?!


    Fun with @the_snook’s facial hair. First Starburns, then Freddie Mercury! http://t.co/2lafXcQ5


    Most of the decorating is doneā€¦ so I think the birthday girl @drkknits might get to carve her first jack-o-lantern!


    @drkknits Haha, actually I think I do need tea lights!!


    The CHERPUMPLE is starting to take shape! http://t.co/3eLfhUfk


    It literally just occurred to me that this thing is THREE pies & THREE cakes. Thatā€™s so much food! Holy shit–weā€™re gonna have so much left!


    CHERPUMPLE near completion. Crumb coat applied. The beast is chilling in the fridge! http://t.co/vrB2FLDD


    The CHERPUMPLE that ate Chippendale – 5.9kg is 13lbs, folks! http://t.co/rnFSBudc


    Hipsters have invaded my Halloween party. Stupid hipsters. http://t.co/jTyAwmtY


    Happy Halloween from Dr Tobias FĆ¼nke! http://t.co/pWaJpBG0


    The FĆ¼nkes are in the house! http://t.co/pK1xf1bN

    Creepy creepsters whenitrainsitpours and @kielmarlow. http://t.co/E1mTLhMX


    At last, here’s the CHERPUMPLE money shot. Somehow we ended up eating 75% of it! http://t.co/DQkOzkQ6


    My absolute favourite photo of the night, courtesy of @mrs_sockvictim. http://t.co/2AjNJaj2


    As usual, we ended up with a lot of post-party leftover drinks and foodā€¦ and somehow a DSLR?! @dancingman??


    @gilmae YOU KNOW NOTHING, Jon Snow. (I canā€™t not say it.)


    @AusVintageGrrl Such a great costume!!


    Just woke up. How am I sore all over? Mustā€™ve been handing out 20-some plates of CHERPUMPLE. Ugh. Sugar hangover too.


    @knitdra Awww, I thought it was clever anyway!
