    In between shouting at the ND game and stuffing my face with pie, I managed to make an Owl Skirt! #sewvember

    Negroni body complete! Collar & facings attached, yokes joined. Check out that collar loop! #sewvember http://t.co/zyqnEEK9


    The good news is I figured out how flat felled seams work. The bad news is I did them inside out.


    @3rd_Gen_ I considered it, but it turns out I also sewed the sleeve on the wrong side of the body. Ripped.


    Negroni has sleeves! Sleeves and flat felled seams! This is SO FUN. http://t.co/uTuo37yE


    @drkknits Iron on interfacing? Meters and meters. How much you need?


    @drkknits I also have some that’s thicker and some that’s thinner. I mean, in terms if stiffness.


    Negroni is finished (except for buttons). I made a man’s shirt, and it fits the Snook! #sewvember http://t.co/qpkKpjE7


    @mrs_sockvictim Just throw them on the floor and walk by really fast?


    @sprongify Love that print!

    @imdominating Wooo! Wishing I was there. Hey, any place in Chicago showing The Hobbit in the 48fps high def? On say, the 30th? 🙂


    @drkknits Oh FFS. @lemon_lime, can you add Dr for the precious phd? 😛


    @drkknits And your member number is probably on the IC membership list…


    @3rd_Gen_ Ooh, funky print! Nice job.


    @randomknits I would say “TOTES RANDOM.” 😛


    @randomknits That’s where I first met the Sock Victim! I think it was crowded, eh, @mrs_sockvictim?


    Gave my GGD talk again tonight at work, then spent way too long at the pub celebrating. Self: you are not 25 anymore.


    @mrs_sockvictim @randomknits What the what? Seriously? Because I know nothing about that. 😛


    @mrs_sockvictim Btw – planning on Eveleigh Markets tomorrow around 8-8:30ish. You?


    @pixel8ted Huzzah!


    @AusVintageGrrl Congrats to you and @thisismywww!

    Went to markets, took cat to vet… Now I’m pooped and it isn’t even 10am.

    @3rd_Gen_ What? What’s wrong with how we say cauliflower? I don’t think I say it any different from the Aussies?


    @3rd_Gen_ Ahh, in my head that sounds a bit more southern. Where was the person from? I’m Midwestern, and I say “collifflower”


    Attention @drkknits and @mrs_sockvictim – some very cool art on @TempleWebster today from Inaluxe – including birds and cats and OWLS!


    @marcooda Interesting – thanks for that! I get overwhelmed by the choice though. I like that T&W seems to curate a smaller list.


    RT @senthorun: Fab post by @oiiaustralia on how to be an #intersex ally. Must read. http://t.co/bP426giG


    RT @Salon: If you care about America, don’t shop at @walmart http://t.co/v2EWtZtP via @RBReich


    @drkknits Well, since I’m TOTES BOOKED UP this weekend, how about before/after the High Tea next weekend?


    @lemon_lime @drkknits DO YOU WANT TO WATCH TWILIGHT WITH US, JOSH?!


    @drkknits We could meet @lemon_lime after work on 30th, then go to movie, then you crash at my place!


    @zephyrama Pics or it didn’t happen.


    @drkknits @lemon_lime It’s ON like DONKEY KONG.


    @bookchellef They are mostly disappointing. Ours was somehow less than the sum of its parts.


    @bookchellef Actually, Serious Eats undertook the task of making an actually good one recently: http://t.co/C5nX4zCV. Involves sous vide!


    Don’t be passive-aggressive. Don’t be passive-aggressive. Don’t be passive-aggressive.


    @ericscheid Snarky retorts aren’t helping my willpower when I’m trying to take the high moral ground, mister! 🙂


    Seeing the sports physician about my knee. Again. (@ The Sports Clinic) http://t.co/Z9YLvJ1t


    I am quite literally ready to explode. (Doc stuck a nitroglycerin patch on my knee.)


    @witty_knitter Supposed to promote blood flow. There’s some research that says it might help with tendinitis. We’re clutching at straws. 🙁


    @brown_note Currently or historically? Helping slaves escape on the Underground Railroad comes to mind.


    Successfully videochatted with my Dad and Step-Mom for the first time ever. I think Dad is convinced he needs a smartphone now. 🙂
