    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 done… 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. That’s so much food! Holy shit–we’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 Fünke! http://t.co/pWaJpBG0


    The Fünkes 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 food… and somehow a DSLR?! @dancingman??


    @gilmae YOU KNOW NOTHING, Jon Snow. (I can’t not say it.)


    @AusVintageGrrl Such a great costume!!


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


    @knitdra Awww, I thought it was clever anyway!

    One final awesome shot of me, Rodd, the birthday hipster Kylie, and our amazing Cherpumple.

    Spice Cake + Apple Pie = final CHERPUMPLE layer. Soon it will be time to assemble this bohemoth!

    I like getting the @KnitGuildNSW newsletter via email. I’m not so sure about having my address visible in the To: field with 100 others. 🙁


    Holy crap. I was ambivalent about Tracey Spicer as a newsreader, but now I think she KICKS ASS. http://t.co/3lKAbss5


    @mrs_sockvictim You are right by my office again!!


    @drkknits Pumpkin Pie was baked last night. So we’ve got all the pies. Tonight the “encasing in cake” process begins!


    @GirlEmpowerment I just wish some of those shirts came in adult sizes!


    @Illdrinn Halloween in Australia will be awesome, some day, if I have my way.


    @AusVintageGrrl Awesome! Corny costumes are the best. (It’s not SEXY CORN, is it? Because I totally called dibs on that for next year.)


    Did I mention that I was so inspired by today’s 50’s frock that I even wore makeup? http://t.co/pyx3pgxl


    @drkknits I know, right? And oddly, coating it in soup mix and oil makes it even BETTER.


    @drkknits I might have to embroider my name on the lapel.


    @Helen__H Love it! Great job. I wish our office had a costume party…


    Holy crap. Harris Farm is selling American marshmallows! $5.29 for 300g. I am such a sucker. http://t.co/FUxRgiLn


    Cherry pie + chocolate cake = CHERPUMPLE Layer #1. IT’S ALL HAPPENING. http://t.co/lfo8o6L3


    Pumpkin Pie + Vanilla Cake = CHERPUMPLE Layer 2. http://t.co/rp3pZadq

    My sugar cookie skills are coming along nicely. My sister will be proud. http://t.co/WTTIrbT0


    @drkknits I too am going out for breakfast – in honour of your birthday! Happy birthday! 🙂


    Checking out our new local cafe! It’s very hip. (@ Benito’s Cafe) http://t.co/Vn7nXoNm

    @Helen__H Either that or come work with you guys. 😛 Right, @henrytapia?


    @Kat13v Truthfully, @carbolicious is the better baker of the Howard girls!
