RT @LaughingSquid: Miniature Body Parts Jewelry http://t.co/pAIpLrar// I literally went “AHHHHHH!!!!”

Spent the whole entire day knitting fairisle and catching up on TV. Just the day of relaxation I needed… http://t.co/p7Q0yHsH

---

Ridiculously over-styled for a Knitters Guild meeting. I blame @1funkyknitwit. http://t.co/nbysaYfU

---

It begins. http://t.co/xgsOdx7o

First coat on chalkboard wall is complete! That is one giant, matte, light-sucking black wall… http://t.co/wshaCFmI

---

@Alacaeriel Pretty much!

---

@chrishodgkins I think you’ve been hacked. You just sent me a dodgy DM.

---

Did some embroidery tonight. Feeling like quite the Renaissance woman! http://t.co/BwRnd3Kn

---

@redambition Still a long way to go! Adding some embellishment to a t-shirt/memory quilt I’m making. 🙂

---

@redambition Understandable. You have had a shocker run lately. Hope things get calm and restful and healthy for you!

---

@handmethepanda The Starks are incredibly stupid. Arya is the only one with any sense, and even she does dumb shit.

---

RT @Sitback: Subaru Active is live http://t.co/H36W1x25 // Woo! Congrats to the @Sitback team who worked on this. Great job!

---

Today I learned you don’t have to have a beard – or even be a guy – to be an insufferable neckbeard.

---

I can’t believe I blogged about inspiring women in IT and forgot the most important one! Sorry, Mom. 🙂 http://t.co/bflCNNTi

FoodConnect box had Jerusalem artichokes this week. They were tasty but problematic. We learned today their nickname is “fartichokes.” Yep.

---

@mrs_sockvictim Very groovy. Make your eyes look BLUE!

---

@mygola Please stop spamming me!

---

@drkknits Call Me Maybe is the greatest song. So peppy and catchy, always makes me dance. Sometimes I am very simple.

---

@drkknits Also, there are heaps of funny covers. Just watched the Jimmy Fallon one, which is very good!

---

@TheBACoach It was philosophical. I was arguing that UX for a new project should not be dictated by capabilities of dev’s framework.

---

@TheBACoach They were taking pragmatic (but lazy) approach to not waste time designing things that are too difficult to achieve.

---

Planning trip to Southern Highlands to check out proposed camp venues. Any last minute suggestions of great conference venues there?

---

@that_alison Heh. Considering it’s the knitters guild and not an actual corporate, budget is on the lower side. But thank you!

---

@twelveeyes Hm. I’m not experienced enough to know! I mostly use cheap fabric right now since I’m still learning anyway.

---

@twelveeyes Other than a Liberty top, don’t think I’ve spent more than $30 on any project. My muslins are normal fabric – just cheap!

---

@twelveeyes That sounds pretty good! None of the things I’ve made have used more than 3 meters, I think.

---

Approaching total burnout. Juggling 5 work projects (6th starting Tuesday), Guild stuff, kitchen stuff, no exercise, stomach hurts, BLEURGH!

RT @idsharman: Overheard: SHIT I CAN’T MAKE UP: Convo between my 7year-old students today – (Names have been altered… http://t.co/2zyk6hRQ

“…Most patterns are written to be knit flat & sewn together afterwards. This is because most publishers think you’re an idiot.” Too harsh?

---

@drkknits “This is mostly because pattern makers think you’re an idiot.” Better?

---

@drkknits My Guild leaflets are very colloquial and shit. Obviously. (cc @RoseRed_Shoes, since her name’s goin’ on this too…)

---

@janiematts Good point. I’ll put that in. (You’re coming to Guild tomorrow, right?)

---

@janiematts Yep, 11am!

---

@RoseRed_Shoes Hm. Not what I meant! Just that they think you find two dimensions easier than three.

---

@RoseRed_Shoes But why do you think *most* patterns are written that way? Not for portability.

---

@RoseRed_Shoes How about: “This is because most pattern publishers think knitters are scared of circular needles. (Also, they’re lazy.)”

---

@mrs_sockvictim @rosered_shoes Interesting. It’s called “piecework” for a reason, isn’t it? Because you were paid by the piece?

---

@web_goddess OR! “This is because most pattern publishers think you’re not very clever. (Also, they’re lazy.)” So no calling people idiots.

---

@drkknits @RoseRed_Shoes I am tempted to leave it in and let Jane object on the day. GOOD COP BAD COP KNITTERS!

---

@RoseRed_Shoes Mostly because I’m trying in my Hermione way to make a leaflet that will be educational AND entertaining. Perhaps too much.

---

@RoseRed_Shoes @drkknits I take it that means you’ll also object to my statement “Sewing things together sucks.” ?

---

@drkknits @RoseRed_Shoes The provocativeness of my leaflet writing is directly proportional to my alcohol intake. Just to clarify.

---

@RoseRed_Shoes Okay. Boring and non-confrontational it is. No offense to anyone given. 🙁

---

@witty_knitter Leaflet for Guild Topic on Saturday. It was a misguided attempt to be humorous and folksy.

---

I didn’t say that you should never knit flat! Or that people who knit flat are stupid! Gahhhhh. Writer fail.

---

@steven_noble Oh dear god, is it credited to me? Sounds like something I wrote in uni. 🙂

---

Crossed like 14 things off my To Do list but it’s never enough. (But @drkknits? 100cm exactly. Suck it.)

---

Seven work emails while I was moaning about pointless Guild stuff. Is it the 3-day weekend yet?

---

@jannism I will never not laugh at those. That always crack me up.

---

RT @pamelafox: I decided that everytime I’m asked to speak at a conference, I’ll also suggest a few other speakers… that happen to be …

@devvyleys It’s good to hear you’re back – in all the ways!
