@missamanda Huh? Sydney looks lovely outside. I can see the harbour from here. Pretty as a postcard. 🙂
Mr Snook says this will keep me safe should there be any anti-American protests while he’s away. http://t.co/xvKHkqRy
Second night of less than 6 hrs sleep. I feel ragged.
Anybody know of an online radio stream for the Notre Dame-Michigan game? I can’t find ANY that I can access. 🙁
SONOFA. This is why Hermione doesn’t knit lace. Commence jokes now… http://t.co/kaAqMwdI
@Alegrya Took me more than an hour to tink it back.
@drkknits Fixed now. Lace is just my NEMESIS.
I DID IT AGAIN. WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH ME.
@knitterjp @drkknits This is only a 2 row pattern. I’d have to lifeline every other row! It’s just me being stupid.
@drkknits Heh. Read that yesterday on Flipboard. LOVE HER. (Did I ever tell you I saw her in 7th grade at Disney World?)
Predictions of insomnia are sadly self-fulfilling. *yawn* I hate today.
@JennaPrice If you have an iPhone, there’s a great app called Consume that does it. You can also track in Settings -> General -> Usage.
@lemon_lime This is why an Australian passport is a very good thing to have. 🙂

Just heard the band playing the touchdown gig for the first time in about a decade. And suddenly I flashed back to senior year in 1998, dancing in the stadium with my friends as the Irish defeated the #1 ranked Michigan. We stormed the field. We hugged each other on the 40 yard line. It was joyous. I remember the jubilant run back the dorms afterwards. I remember people splashing in Stonehenge afterwards. I called my Dad, unable to articulate how amazing it had been. That was one of the most memorable days in all four years at ND.
Sometimes I feel very far from home, and I’m jealous of you guys who get to visit campus regularly.
RT @Salon: Top 10 dumbest drinking games: http://t.co/U0TQ1O74 // Pleased that Goon of Fortune made list. But the NZ “game” is HILARIOUS.
@randomknits Thanks. Still having a fit issue with armholes. Think I need to make them deeper. Any good link suggestions for that?
@randomknits Well, when I hold my arms out front there’s pulling along back of armholes. Thought it was shoulder width, but compared to…
@randomknits …other shirts that fit it’s fine. So now wondering if it’s the arm holes rather than overall garment width.
@knitterjp @randomknits That’s interesting. I added width to back & front this time, but didn’t touch armholes at all.
@knitterjp @randomknits Those diagrams make my head hurt. Sleeves are complicated! Might be easier to change my arms. 😀
@knitterjp @randomknits Heh. Except I’m already grading the pattern up because it’s made for skinny minnies!
That’s three people in our office now with horrible colds of some sort. I am worried my streak of not being sick all year is going to end…
@Ascasewwen I found a PDF with a Sorbetto sleeve on it last year. I think it was made by Mena from the Sew Weekly…
Friday, 3pm. I’m really just hanging around for the beer at this point. MOVE, CLOCK.
@randomknits WOW! I’ve got one, but it’s hidden and most folks don’t see it unless I show them. 🙂
@twelveeyes I managed to convert the Snook to the Way of the Cardigan, despite his extreme reluctance. It can be done!
Just got a marketing email from @GraysOnline… with no obvious way to unsubscribe. *sigh* Isn’t the Spam Act supposed to fix this?
@randomknits Getting mine was fraught, as my roommate @EileenDCoE was hiding one from her mother. So I had to hide mine too!
Looks like @the_snook is karmawhoring over on the Reddits again… http://t.co/8RPKyXob
Friday afternoon beer, brought to you by the great nation of India. Thanks Baddam! @ Sitback Solutions http://t.co/HCRptvpF
@drkknits @smark31 @knitterjp And @kunaal84 is actually at the match! Keep your eyes peeled for the Indian dude in the stands. 🙂

Ride to Work 2012 is scheduled for October 17. I hope my knee is recovered enough that I can participate!
Another Tova Top
I made myself another shirt! It’s an altered Tova in cotton eyelet. Very happy with it!
So this is my second Tova top. The fabric is just some cotton eyelet I picked up at Lincraft a while back. The first one I made had some sizing issues that I tried to correct this time. I added an inch to the center back and top front pieces, and I flared out the bottom a bit too to give some more room around the hips. I also chopped the sleeves off at the elbows. (I forgot to add an inch to the bottom front piece, which means that this one isn’t as gathered at the bust line. That turned out okay, though.) This one definitely fits better through the bust now, but I still feel like my shoulders are constricted when I hold my arms out in front. Could that be the sleeve depth? Should I try and alter that next time? I’ll probably make at least one more so I can keep practicing. It’s a nice blouse to wear to work as well…
Sneak peek at the sewing project I just finished! I’m going to wear it to work tomorrow…
