    @knitdra Haha, glad that worked out for you. πŸ™‚


    Wasabi KitKat! Surprisingly good. http://t.co/FoTVFp6b


    @pyko One of Rodd’s colleagues brought it back from Japan. It was disappointingly UN-wasabi-like. πŸ™


    I have finished knitting a thing, which may or may not be a secret thing. Mum’s the word.


    Spent the evening tracing pattern for Negroni shirt and crapping myself over complexity of directions. I’m officially daunted. #sewvember

    Blank Canvas Tee – 3 Hours Past the Edge of the World – How neat! A bare-bones T-shirt sewing pattern that can be dressed up and hacked in various ways. And it’s FREE!

    @imdominating Are you livetweeting what I think you are?


    @imdominating See, this is why we don’t live in Chicago. Because I’d be right there with you cackling and we’d get thrown out.


    I HAVE AN ITCH UNDER ONE OF MY BUNS. #chunliproblems

    Nothing better than a Friday lunchtime CAKE DELIVERY courtesy of @venks79! Thanks Venky… πŸ™‚


    Facebook says it’s @1funkyknitwit’s birthday. Happy birthday, M!


    @toastman I don’t get it.


    Ugh. Supposed to be on a train heading to a knitting day, but I feel sick. Going to go back to bed, I think.


  • Goldie Blox

    Goldie Blox – a set of books and construction toys designed by a female engineer for girls! That looks fantastic. I’d love to get it for my nieces!

    @redambition Can you move it? That was always my Mom’s test. If you can move it, it ain’t broken. (I have no idea if that’s accurate.)


    Who needs a laugh? http://t.co/fou5UQhu (cc @imdominating, @drkknits, @knitdra)


    @drkknits READ IT OUT LOUD. THEY’LL TOTES LOVE IT.


    Romney = tool. No shit voters want health care & college loan forgiveness. EVERYBODY wants that (except super rich). http://t.co/hRKORCZ4


    RT @codepo8: Bacon Scarf… http://t.co/urWTrynk What? // Whoa. Thought it’d be crochet version, but it’s not! LOVE IT. http://t.co/EkeInYhT


    @kateslemay Awwww, super cute!


    @BartholomewD They gave a demo at @Sitback few weeks back. A few signed up and seem to like it!


    The Hazards of Growing Up Painlessly http://t.co/vFfEmaL0 // This is fascinating.


    @randomknits Totally agree. Also, Vegas is SUPER FUN.


    @redambition @knitness @randomknits You might be surprised. My Gran told me secretly she was relieved to avoid the travel expense.


    @redambition @knitness @randomknits Granted, for us somebody was always going to get screwed on travel. So it made more sense for us.


    @redambition @randomknits @knitness You’re a grown-ass woman! Do what YOU want!


    @redambition @randomknits @knitness *shrug* Only if you let her.


    @knitness @redambition @randomknits Apparently average wedding cost in Oz closer to $50K. Was in SMH the other day. My brain fell out.


    RT @JohnSeaborn: Ohhh, this. Thisthisthisthisthis. http://t.co/x4JqiOUK // More childish behaviour from Mitt supporters.

    Wait, what? @instagram now strips out the @ sign when posting to Twitter? That sucks.


    @mudsurfer According to my co-worker, in real life it looks more like Chun-Li from Street Fighter.


    @drkknits @randomknits GROSSSSSSSS

    @gusseting @zeldman Is it how to use apostrophes correctly? πŸ™‚


    @mikeefreedom Sweet. We’ll be there from 7:30. Paju BBQ in Newtown


    @RoseRed_Shoes Cheers for that. Thinking of getting one…


    RT @crumpet: Having my own little “just cracked a grand” on @pozible party (inside my head)! Thank you! http://t.co/dbMtGF1f


    RT @nolim1t: How to hire awesome devs without spending money on recruiters http://t.co/uZ5iKS1X


    OF COURSE I ran into @zosainsbury on the bus when she looks like a ROCKSTAR and I’m dressed like an aggressively casual troll.

    I am far too old to be in a Newtown hotel on a Wednesday night. (@ Cooper’s Hotel w/ 2 others) http://t.co/tBqdb5Lo


    @drkknits @knitterjp @redambition Yes, I so am. Retreated home to my cookie pants and my stupid cats. That’s better…


    @drkknits @knitterjp @smark31 What an interesting contribution you’ve made! πŸ˜›


    @kcarruthers Ah, but that one leaves off Jill’s identical twin sister! Not kidding. I am addicted to this particular scandal.


    @brockleyboyo Oh cool! Does the real one have a cannon??


    RT @Oatmeal: New comic: Some thoughts and musings about making things for the web http://t.co/0yCaPWoo // This is a good one.


    George Street is setting a record for traffic shittiness today. Been sitting outside Town Hall for a good 10 minutes now.

    @RoseRed_Shoes Hey, so how did you actually claim the discount? I didn’t quite get that from the email.


    @Helen__H Awww, sorry we’ll miss you!


    Heading off to #GGDSydney. Wish me luck for my talk!


    Phew. My #GGDSyd was a total adrenaline rush! I think it went well; got a great response. Even a few laughs! Thanks to all well wishers. πŸ™‚


    @catehstn OH THERE you are. How am I supposed to recognise you from that little photo! πŸ˜›


    Loving the Instagram photos on the gamification talk at #GGDSyd! Really fun.


    @drkknits I was totes being modest. I rocked it. πŸ™‚


    “I like Siri even though I think she’s DUMB AS.” Ha!


    “I like Siri even though I think she’s DUMB AS.” Ha! Lots of the #ggdsyd talks getting laughs tonight.


    I think @testchick has the best talk title at #GGDSyd: Rise and Fall of the Zombie Testers.


    @JennaPrice You’d love it! Should come along with me sometime. http://t.co/hpsCh8QH


    RT @pyko: Thanks to all who spoke at #ggdsyd tonight πŸ™‚ you guys are awesome!


    @redambition I see it. Why the horrified? It’s just all me and the Snook’s crap.


    @mikeefreedom Oi! You want to join some Sitbackers for Korean tonight? I think PK said he was gonna ask you…

    Got up and got dressed for work, then decided I felt too crappy. Just woke up again. Yikes.


    RT @redambition: Who else is going to the Girl Geek Dinner meetup tonight? πŸ˜€ // Me! Crap. Better practice my talk a bit more today. πŸ™‚


    A site I specced a long time ago has just launched! http://t.co/jFk2gEyl Well done to the @Sitback team – looks great.
