    @The_McJones Well done! I’m still writing my conclusion. But I’m not on til end of the day Thursday. πŸ˜€


    Well, the “knitting as computation” talk OBVIOUSLY. πŸ˜‚ #yowconnected https://t.co/BuUIgt30r3


    @mokagio OOH, what’s @nsbreakfast? I could go to that!


    @nsbreakfast Oh, awesome! I will definitely be there. Thanks for the heads up, @mokagio. πŸ™‚


    @chrisgander @mlle_elle Huh. For the record, I’ve never heard that term either!!


    If you’ve *really* left it until the last minute, you can still use this to get a discounted #yowconnected ticket! https://t.co/v7GysYgQwV


    @noopkat What’s wrong?? You okay? (I’m at the Jasper if I can hep.)


    @The_McJones How many slides do you have? (If it’s not in three digits, I win that one.)


    @noopkat Ah, okay. Just checking. πŸ˜€ See you at speaker get together tonight?


    Unexpected Mi9 reunion! https://t.co/TQIVfkIrnl https://t.co/PcHrmVcvvM


    @mokagio @nsbreakfast So I stayed up until midnight rewriting my YOW talk… and brekkie at 7:30 is looking doubtful. May need a raincheck.


    @mokagio @nsbreakfast Next time I’m here – hopefully next month – I’ll be there. Count on it!


    This β˜•οΈ is giving me life. THANK YOU! #yowconnected https://t.co/kd2CDKi44g


    If idea is new, need to attract non-users. If an improvement, you’re competing against incumbents. Disruption is the latter! #yowconnected https://t.co/15SVwJSIsd


    Wow, @asymco officially gives the most in-depth, fascinating, off-the-cuff post-talk Q&A answers ever. #speakerenvy #yowconnected


    @mokagio @FakeSamRitchie So tempted to tweet a sneaky photo of the two of you.


    @The_McJones I wondered the same thing!?

    #frocktober day 2 – brand new Lady Skater made by me! https://t.co/vp8Do3Aui7 https://t.co/2PuY82YTgw


    @randomknits I will make a lot of adjustments next time. I was rushing this, so the fit isn’t great.


    The dress took me about 24hrs total, but I would do a lot of fitting adjustments next time! Mainly that waist is way too low for me.


    @Gemma_Stiles The Vans or the NASA posters? πŸ˜€ NASA posters, yeah. So pretty! (Loving the Vans too!!!)


    Starting my new job by flying to Melbs! (at @SydneyAirport in Mascot, NSW) https://t.co/5m35hPwC92


    @frankarr Hey! I’m in Melbourne the next couple days. Any time to catch up? Love to pick your brains about local tech events & groups!


    @frankarr Excellent! Just heading to hotel now to get settled. Maybe this arvo?


  • #frocktober day 2 – brand new Lady Skater made by me!

    Lady Skater dress

    #2 is the Lady Skater from Kitschy Coo. I made this in about 24 hours. The fabric is a fine knit (possibly merino?) with some elastane in it. I was worried the bodice would be too see-through, so I self-lined it. (The skirt and the sleeves aren’t lined though.) I didn’t do any mods, but next time I will definitely be shortening the bodice by a couple of inches. As it is, the waist seam is hitting me right at my navel. I also have a bit of fabric pooling at the back, so a swayback adjustment may also be in my future. But hey, it’s wearable and it counts!
