@sthcrft Maybe it’s like a $5 milkshake, and it really is effing good. But I’m baking it into a cake, so a fancy pie would be overkill.

---

@heathergracious NO WAY. But yeah, their pies are quite bit anyway. I’m stacking three, so I need smallish ones! 🙂

---

@drkknits Hey that’s where they have the BIG POO/POTATO, isn’t it? 🙂

---

@drkknits Oh good. Cherpumple will definitely be using shortcrust. (Not homemade though. I am not insane.)

---

@mudsurfer You are dead to me.

Frocktober #16. Skirt and blouse. (I made the blouse.) http://t.co/YGGH7JRd

I had originally been planning to vote for Chris Harris on Saturday, but this dude’s luxurious beard is swaying me. http://t.co/9GXvsjVw

---

@drkknits Hey hermano! Oh man, I love that. Did you notice they changed Martas?

---

@drkknits Hahaha. Totes racist. 😛

Been sitting in George Street gridlock for five consecutive traffic light cycles. #bridgestreet #sucks

There are a lot of swanky art galleries in Chippo, but this is the only one FOR CATS. (cc artbuds) http://t.co/eUwfaC1u

---

@drkknits Heh. You can grab season 2 DVDs this weekend if you like!

---

@drkknits Ah, I guessed as much. 🙂

---

@drkknits George Michael and Maeby were on a season 3 ep of Veronica Mars, btw.

---

@randomknits Just saw that on FB! Neat. Kinda wish I’d waited on ordering the paper Negroni two weeks ago…

Congrats to my employer @Sitback on being named #31 on BRW’s Fast 100! Nice write-up too: http://t.co/t9VLb1Tk

---

@lahondaknitter Thanks! It didn’t have the original belt, and I’m still not sure this is the right one for it. But I love the dress. 🙂

---

@pinkcatknits The bigger blobs are actually stylised roses, and then there are little triangular bits all over between them.

---

My art just arrived! Can’t wait to hang it. Thanks @artbuds! http://t.co/unHKIEk4

---

@zephyrama An odometer? I reckon. Check with @thecyclery. (Personally, I just use RunKeeper on my phone whenever I ride.)

---

@zephyrama There’s also GMaps Pedometer, which requires nothing: http://t.co/ClezjOYb

---

@drkknits Ugh. That sucks.

---

@kunaal84 @knitdra I forgot to mention that half the knitters in Sydney saw me working on it over the past few months. 😀

---

Party shopping complete. And there goes the grocery budget for the month…

---

@glittertrash Socks are easy. There’s no trick and no special skill involved. Just follow the pattern! After 1 you’ll be fine.

---

RT @freshome: 10 Design Mistakes You Don’t Want to Make in Your #Kitchen http://t.co/4NajfTNq // Oh great. Pic 9 is pretty much our kitchen.

---

@gilmae I never said relieved? It wasn’t sitting around; it was made custom. Designer & tradesmen impressed we didn’t go ubiquitous white.

---

@gilmae I think you are. Definitely not us. That’s why it took so long; they had it make it special. 🙂

---

My Cherpumple plan got way harder upon realisation that readymade pumpkin and cherry pies are pretty much unheard of here.

---

So now I’ve got to bake two pies AND three cake layers. #cherpumple #madness

---

@Gidgetknits I wasn’t that surprised by pumpkin, as it’s totally foreign here. But cherry? Cherry pie? I had no idea it was so rare.

---

@arwenamin @Gidgetknits @sthcrft The Pie Tin in Newtown actually makes pumpkin pie. The cost for one whole pie? THIRTY NINE DOLLARS. *gulp*

---

@arwenamin @Gidgetknits @sthcrft So yeah, making my own pumpkin pie. 🙂

---

Stressing about everything to make for Halloween party, then realised I have an army of friends who always offer to help. Outsourcing FTW!

---

@randomknits Ooh, nice! (As long as NO PEEPS ARE INVOLVED.)

---

@ptinutz @zephyrama I’ve sewn invisible zip in with regular zipper foot. You can’t do it with a normal foot though. Can’t get close enough.

@randomknits @AusVintageGrrl @ptinutz @zephyrama I got this Brother invis. zip foot: http://t.co/uvPSpPA4. Works fine in my Janome!

---

@randomknits @AusVintageGrrl @ptinutz @zephyrama Also, I have used Colette’s tutorial for all mine with good results! http://t.co/6OaXUGqD

---

@drkknits Oh nice! How was the pattern? Did it work out?

---

Accidentally left wellies at work last week. SCORE! Thanks, Past Kristy.

---

@zephyrama What. The. Hell. That curvey foot thing looks MAGIC.

---

RT @thebestjasmine: OMG RT @tedr: Picture of a grizzly bear checking out a boy in a bear costume at a zoo http://t.co/fYTZQmxd

---

@gilmae So was a lot of crap! Fun stuff should be embraced, regardless of where it came from. (I personally celebrate Robbie Burns Night.)

---

@gilmae You mean trick-or-treating? It’s not mandatory for grow ups. Just turn off your porch light. If I had a tv show, I’d tell everyone!

---

@redambition I got one at Coles Broadway previous weekend. Same price…

---

@drkknits I’m having whiskey. (Insomnia struck again.)

---

@StuartCRyan Hello yourself! Just having an idle surf before I head to bed. *yawn*

---

@stufromoz @StuartCRyan I wondered how he found me to follow… 🙂

---

@randomknits What was the book?

---

I really should stop wearing full skirts on breezy days. That’s twice now I’ve nearly flashed all of Broadway.

---

@lemon_lime Yay! And I got a pie plate on my lap. And some DVDs so you will understand our costume. 🙂

---

I gave @kunaal84 his wedding gift today: a hand knitted cricket vest! Happily, it fits. 🙂 http://t.co/9PW6Bsx1

Frocktober #15. Vintage dress from Jonathan Summers of Sydney. http://t.co/YhY0uOgO

---

My first major sewing disaster. A very cute pair of shorts…that don’t even remotely fit my thunder thighs. *sigh* http://t.co/HgJqOwEE

---

@knitterjp @drkknits Apparently my bottom half is literally three sizes bigger than my top half. 🙁

---

@knitterjp @drkknits I’ve been making dresses to fit top half and getting away with it, but obviously need to make some adjustments.

---

@zephyrama I only know of yokes on shirts. How would that work on shorts? (This is my 1st pair and I just followed pattern exactly.)

---

@zephyrama They’ve got a waist band now; a yoke is just like a wider one? I think I just need a bigger size overall.

---

@knitdra If they fit somebody I like, I’ll give them away. 🙂

---

Just flipped through all of @SewGertieSew’s book. Head spinning. So much seems beyond me now, but I’m getting there! #shirtdress #dreams

---

@zephyrama Do you have a dressmakers form? I think I need one. Proper fitting is getting harder without it.

---

@drkknits But… is Arrested Development cheering you up at all? (Hey, hermano!)

---

@drkknits Damn I love Lucille. “I don’t understand the question, and I’m not going to acknowledge it.” I should say that more to idiots.

---

@randomknits Is that hot pink tulle?? Okay, now I’m having Madonna-in-the-80s dreams!

---

@zephyrama I’m going to start watching eBay I think. Or maybe when they go on sale. I saw adjustable ones at Lincrap, I think.

---

@drkknits The show? Didn’t see it.

---

It took a few hours, but Petey forgave @the_snook for leaving him. http://t.co/iUSjRc3P

---

@randomknits I still like it. All the cool kids have ink. (Have I ever shown you mine?)

---

Last sleep before @the_snook gets home!!

@randomknits Yep, just in time!
