Geeks and Privilege – Well said. The Snook and I have always admitted how lucky we were to have the breaks we had and to end up in the jobs we’re in.

@zephyrama I happen to know a really, really bad curse phrase in Korean, courtesy of Grandpa. You know, if you need it.
I identify with this MeFi discussion way, way too much. (cc @drkknits) http://t.co/sfgiqytD
@TheDuckInnPub Anybody there to take a booking for dinner tonight? Tried ringing 15 min ago but no one answered!
@Helen__H Very cute! You crochet? @RoseRedShoes just made me one of these a few weeks ago: http://t.co/SleWE7rI
@Helen__H @rosered_shoes Whoops. Yep. My old crappy version of Tweetdeck has lost the ability to autocomplete usernames. 🙂
@Helen__H You should come to a Knitters Guild meeting sometime! The Inner City group is cool and not at all weird. 🙂
@Helen__H 2nd Sat of every month, so Dec 8 at Customs House Library at 11am. It’s like a stitch and bitch! Sometimes we have talks/workshops
@Helen__H And we do have several crocheters in our group. 🙂
@TheDuckInnPub Phew, was hoping you weren’t closed! 8pm for two okay?
@TheDuckInnPub Brilliant, thanks! Couldn’t think of a better place to celebrate our wedding anniversary. 🙂
Giving web designers headaches since 1999, right here….
@drkknits @RoseRed_Shoes I’m pretty sure hamsters eat their own babies sometimes. I’m sure the hamster patriarchy is to blame.
@drkknits @RoseRed_Shoes Hegemonic Patriarchal Hamster Discourse is definitely going to be the name of my rock band’s first album.
@rkrandall Congratulations!!
@toastman I liked how it started out with the analogy of children fighting over a toy. I’m a girl so those references are really helpful.
I keep Skyping and iMessaging and tweeting @kunaal84 even though he’s on his honeymoon. DAMMIT KUNAAL, WHO AM I SUPPOSED TO RANT TO?
RT @bortflancrest: YOu will all love this. http://t.co/vLGaw0Je // I laughed. So will @imdominating and @carbolicious, I suspect.
Anniversary dinner! Love this place. Also, we ate a dinosaur. (@ The Duck Inn Pub & Kitchen) [pic]: http://t.co/3JXWws15
Thanks to @TheDuckInnPub for a lovely anniversary dinner tonight! A lot of memorable Chippendale moments have occurred there…

@drkknits I think for jersey, it’s a must!
I appear to be getting @pozible spam I didn’t sign up for. Disappointing. Let’s see if unsubscribe works.
@randomknits Thanks! I’m glad I’m doing the muslin. I’m figuring out the little tweaks I can do to make things better on the real thing!
@Pozible I unsubbed from newsletter. I was more surprised that I got email as I usually tick the “do not contact me” option. Hope it works.
@drkknits @randomknits I love how you and I always overthink these things, and Donna’s always just like, WHATEVER. I JUST SEW.

Big news! You can book for the @KnitGuildNSW’s upcoming amigurumi workshops ONLINE. Yes, really! http://t.co/oKvQLZYQ
@sealexander I think you’ve been hacked. I just got a dodgy-looking DM from you.
If you get a dodgy DM telling you you’re in a video, don’t click the link. It’s a scam. http://t.co/3gQJr4qg
@MarkSantander HOLY CRAP, that is *exactly* what I needed for the project I’m working on. Thank you!

Managed to find turkey legs at DJ’s Food Hall tonight. Thanksgiving is saved!
@smark31 @drkknits @mrs_sockvictim King Street! I think it’s where Red Eye Records used to be? Or else next door.
Negroni muslin step 1: sew on the pockets and flaps. Not too bad. #sewvember http://t.co/1A7sE5pk
@trevoryoung Blogger the CMS came first. Blogspot was their service that hosted Blogger-powered blogs.
@RoseRed_Shoes The pockets came out a little small. Used a cardboard template to fold edges and I think it was too thick. Lesson learned!

@JennaPrice Hey, I was in the Spencer Tunick photo too! I absolutely loved it. It was like a Nude Epiphany.
@randomknits Very pretty!

A-line Skirt
A-line Skirt
Another finished thing for Sewvember! I made this last weekend based on the hand-drawn pattern I used for my previous A-line skirts. The fabric was a remnant that I bought at Publisher Textiles when my Mom was visiting last winter. I believe it’s a thick cotton. Instead of a waist facing, I drafted my own waistband using this Colette tutorial. Somehow I got muddled and put the zipper on the right instead of the left, but that was the only snag in an otherwise quick and rewarding project.
