    My house looks like a sock monkey sweatshop today. #itshappening


    @drkknits “Monkey”? It wouldn’t be a sweatshop if I was only making one. ๐Ÿ™‚


    @drkknits I AM NOT MAKING 12 DWARF MONKEYS. (It’s been a popular guess.)


    @drkknits And I have no idea how to make a consumptive whore monkey either.


    @randomknits @drkknits I considered that, but @the_snook pointed out that @kunaal84 would consider an Indian monkey boy racist. ๐Ÿ™‚


    @randomknits @drkknits I’m making the ones I thought would be the most fun to make. Now I have to talk Snook into sculpting a hammer for me.


    @randomknits @drkknits Pandering to the fandom, really. Last few monkeys have been too serious. ๐Ÿ™‚


    @randomknits @drkknits I hope I have enough polyfill for the Big Guy.


    My favourite part of the Faith body switch episodes is when SMG breaks out the Canadian accent. So best.


    @crumpet @drkknits Okay, I just got to the sexy speech with Spike. Also a high-point. (So dirty!)


    @knitdra I managed to have *just* enough! No more softies for a while tho. ๐Ÿ™‚


    @RoseRed_Shoes @drkknits @knitdra Mango? Yum. Hermione votes yes.

    Churning my @off5pring Cereal Milk Ice Cream! http://t.co/zBZCtHMy


    Wait, what? Sorry, @off5pring, somehow Instagram totally changed my tweet. Not your ice cream!

    @misswired I am a total sucker for a cheeky butcher.


    The Snook is currently talking to a landscaper. Whenever he talks to a tradesman, his voice gets very Ocker. I’ll confess – I do like it.


    @gilmae I think he just subconsciously reverts. I do it myself when I talk to my relatives from Kentucky. ๐Ÿ™‚


    Oh yeah. I just put the ice cream churn in the freezer. I feel the need to get my @momofuku on. Somewhere, @drkknits has started to droolโ€ฆ


    @knitdra @drkknits Donโ€™t worry; Iโ€™m not makinโ€™ it just for meโ€ฆ ๐Ÿ™‚

    @drkknits @knitdra Its a surprise!


    @drkknits I still have to go to Coles, and I’m not getting my boobs out at Coles. I do have limits.


    @drkknits Also, I have several more tatts. You know, if you want one too. ๐Ÿ™‚


    @drkknits I told the Snook you said to put it on my boob. He said to make sure it’s not the one I tuck my Winnie Blues into.


    @randomknits It’s too hot for lamingtons. Wendy’s should make an ice cream version or something. …And now I’m hungry.


    @drkknits @randomknits I didn’t like desiccated coconut til I discovered lamingtons. My childhood was like a rocky wilderness.


    He calls them his “douchebro” shorts. http://t.co/4oT9fulz


    The most Australian photo I’ve ever taken. #australiaday @ Liquorland http://t.co/YoPKHtUj


    Ironic patriotism has given me a very sincere blister on my foot. There’s probably a lesson in that.


    @drkknits Rodd says it’s because I obviously wasn’t worthy. Only true blue Sheilas can pull off the flag thongs.


    @randomknits Ooh. That one looks good. Source?


    @RoseRed_Shoes @drkknits I thought the guy that invented pasteurising was Pasteur!


    @drkknits @RoseRed_Shoes I bought FRONCH cheese. My fave blue – St Agur – because Harris Farm had it on sale for slightly less redic price.


    @drkknits @RoseRed_Shoes Also – no listeria. I’ll save you some.


    @randomknits Secret confession: best lamington I ever had was at a McCafe. Maybe I suck at identifying good ones.


    @RoseRed_Shoes @drkknits But I also bought the Snook a meat pie at the same time. I thought it would cancel out karmically!


    Okay. It’s time I caramelise some corn flakes. Yep. That’s what I said.


    @drkknits DUDE, I KNOW! We ate Harris Farm Brie two weeks ago! Both fine, but Rodd keeps pretending he’s coming down with it to scare me.


    RT @mpesce: To give the impression #MooresCloud is dinky-di Australian, some have suggested we cover ourselves in ‘Koala Fluff’ – http:/ …


    Giant bowl of milk steeping in caramelised corn flakes. Holy crap. http://t.co/aFAHbIaq


    It takes a full litre of milk to make one cup of Cereal Milk. But damn is it worth it!


    As someone who rolls her ankle repeatedly, I can’t even look at those replays.


    I can’t even look. I’m so worried she’s gonna roll it again.


    I strongly dislike Azarenka and her stupid Sideshow Bob boyfriend.


    Double urgh. Wish Li Na had taken an injury timeout before the final game to “fix her rib.”


    Turning that off. I don’t need to see “Redfoo” anymore in my life.

    Team lunch to celebrate my work anniversary! (@ Sailors Thai) http://t.co/Ja12MCGT


    Shite! It’s Robbie Burns Night and we totally forgot. It would’ve been awesome to eat a haggis and cheer on Andy Murray to victory!


    Forecast on Monday is scattered showers. Nice. That’s going to work greeeeeat with the barbecue I’m hosting.


    RT @the_snook: I think these guys (http://t.co/S5FohxES) just made it to Sydney. http://t.co/TtXgkVS3


    Spotted a big ol’ lizard (bluetongue?) sunning himself by Chinese Garden! (@ Tumbalong Park) [pic]: http://t.co/fBZo5atH


    @zephyrama Actually @the_snook reckons it’s a water dragon.


    @toastman I couldn’t get any closer. HE WAS LOOKING RIGHT AT ME!


    @toastman I actually did know that. The tourists had him spooked though, so I only had a second before he darted off.


    @toastman That’s what most of my own tweets sound like in my head, actually. ๐Ÿ™‚


    Let’s go, Murray!


    @drkknits You literally made me start salivating.


    @mrs_sockvictim I know. Wish I could run! Best of luck…


    @mrs_sockvictim I just woke up. ๐Ÿ™‚


    @mrs_sockvictim You too! See you Monday…

    Woohoo! Major win for @KnitGuildNSW Camp. Top secret for now, but you’re all gonna be excited when you hear!

    RT @TheNextWeb: How Catmoji got 7,000 users to share 21,000 cat video and pictures in one month http://t.co/0TivgLRw | Hahaha, I joined!


    @imdominating I like the bottom ones.


    @moneywell Does new app only sync with 2.1? I can’t get it to work; keeps saying there’s no sync file (even though old app syncs fine).


    @MoneyWell Ah, that’ll explain it then. Okay, will stick with the old one!


    @MoneyWell Will do. In the meantime, you might consider mentioning that on the site, as it’s not clear you must have latest desktop version.
