    How not to market science to girls | Bad Astronomy | Discover Magazine – I’m wearing pink right now, but sheesh. If I’d gotten “Beauty Spa Lab” as a kid, I would’ve been friggin’ offended.

    @Gin_ev_ra Sure thing! Is your email blog AT ginevra.org?


    @rachievaichie I’d love to borrow Ginger at some point, if you don’t mind. Maybe I’ll swap you one of mine later. 🙂


    I had a visit from the Wool Fairy! (olimaddy destash haters can suck it. I <3 her.) http://t.co/xvQWkKTo


    @AusVintageGrrl Ahhh, Top Secret Show Item. Beyond that, I cannot say. But in all likelihood you’ll see it at the Opera. 🙂


    Our office power is out! Anybody else??


    Blackout appears to be affecting Darlinghurst area. Some traffic lights out.


    RT @Ausgrid: Smoke reported inside Darlinghurst substation. Power cut for safety, interrupting 5000 customers. Crews on scene.


    @VenessaHunt Sone people are making that argument. 🙂


    Damn! Power just restored!


    @dancingman Saw that. We appear to be on reserve power now.


    @randomknits @Gin_ev_ra Order placed! Emailed you guys.


    @VenessaHunt Isn’t the fact that you’re promoting on Twitter going to massively skew the results? We’d be WAY more likely to use QR codes!


    I think I’m going to make Compost Cookies for the Guild Meeting on Saturday. (paging @drkknits…)


    @drkknits Not sure yet. Thinking choc chips, pretzels, chips, coffee, oats, what else? Bashed up Tim Tams to make them Aussie? 🙂


    @gilmae She is a Baby Magnet!


    @drkknits WHOA. I think I have some mini meringues in the pantry, if they’re not too stale!


    @mrs_sockvictim Aww, I placed the order many hours ago. Sorry! (You can share my patterns though!)


    RT @laimelde: All fans of @neilhimself, tix are onsale for Dec 28th in Sydney!! http://t.co/kA4fGTU6 // Just bought mine! (attn @kunaal84)


    @laimelde Thanks!! I got Early Bird. I couldn’t see any qualifications on that, other than it being cheaper. Did I miss something??


    @laimelde Nevermind! Just read Neil’s tweet. Wow, you got us in early! 🙂


    @mpesce I thought so too, but weather man disagrees with us… 🙁


    @drkknits Emailed you, you nitwit. 🙂


    RT @Y7News: Former Aussie cricketer Andrew Symonds has a new gig. You’ll never guess what it is. http://t.co/UPDOeu9L // I guessed porn star


    Best I’ve felt in 2+ weeks! So far ZERO cough drops consumed today. I think I’m finally getting rid of this thing…


    @nolim1t Thanks Barry! I’m SO not a fashion blogger though. I look like a hipster clown most days. 🙂


    @nolim1t True. But I have no idea about clothes, really. I’m just a narcissist. 😛


    @FlavourCrusader @KathrynElliott Interesting article about women, feminism, and kitchens: http://t.co/llDH6jpd. Last paragraph is great!


    @tomandlorenzo I think your RSS feed is broken! Last post that came through was BAFTA Red carpet 5 days ago…

    @Yarna_ You positive? I’d buy them from you. (Never known anyone to give up Wollmeise before. You and @randomknits are crazy!)


    @drkknits @Yarna_ @randomknits Requires 823 – 1326m. I’m tall with big runner’s calves. 🙂 http://t.co/LQ7nG1r3


    @Yarna_ Okay, you’ve convinced me! Giant hot pink cabled knee socks it is. M&S on Thursday? 🙂


    Purple tights on a rainy day. Sad, sad hipster clown. http://t.co/1F8pQ2Yq

    Red tights, red coat, red thoughts. http://t.co/GCIZQkTm


    @bookchellef Surprisingly: Kumfs! Before they changed names. This was the only non-barfy style that season. 🙂


    @jezfletcher Nah. I find pub w/ good food harder to find than pub w/ (some) decent beers. But beer range should factor in. (cc @the_snook)


    @jezfletcher @the_snook Definitely. Should be “meat pies” or “pickled onions” or something like that. 🙂


    @drkknits @witty_knitter @knitterjp This cool weather is at least letting us get some more wear out of our tights!


    @drkknits @witty_knitter @knitterjp Yes, this “red” looks very different in daylight. Very pink against my red coat. Even Snook noticed.


    @witty_knitter @drkknits @knitterjp I think we both just have plain red.


    Dear friends: Thinking of ordering some stuff from colettepatterns.com. Anybody want to combine shipping?


    @AusVintageGrrl Damn. 🙁 I’m going to get her book; it looks really good. I need general sewing instruction books more than you though!


    @randomknits Cool! Send me an email and tell me what you want. 🙂


    @randomknits Ooh, I was already going to get Chantilly. Is it possible to share patterns? (Not experienced enough to know!)

    Okay, THAT pushed back the biological clock another few years. HORROR, people. I watched through fingers over my eyes.


    @justjussi Twilight movie.


    Having truffle fries as a Bella birth chaser. (@ Charlie & Co. Burgers) http://t.co/ZNCcrdVU


    Hell yeah. Chilli dogs and truffle fries with @drkknits. http://t.co/dKmHPiy7


    Secret Santa! @drkknits and I ended up swapping. We both made TREES. http://t.co/st3Xb6Lv http://t.co/zyiZqyV1


    I got a novelty knitted tree. The knitter didn’t like it, but I loved it! http://t.co/xaOUGP4z


    @drkknits Oh sorry! I waited a bit but nobody came down so I ran to get on a bus. Cough is starting up now do I need to get home…


    @drkknits Yes, super fun! Thanks for spending it with me – and for knitting The Most Awesome Tree Ever! 🙂


    @the_snook What the– I don’t know who that is. How do YOU know who that is? Are you hipper than me?


    Too many carbs… Coma approaching…


    I was serious about carb coma. I’ve been asleep on the couch for an hour!


    I don’t think even 2 skeins of Wollmeise is enough for Rhiannon. So don’t worry about it, @Yarna_! (cc @randomknits @drkknits)
