Knitters’ Festive Season Celebration
Saturday was a banner day in the Sydney knitting community. First we had the final Inner City Guild meeting for the year, a massive affair that topped out at forty people! I’ve put some photos up on the IC website. We had some amazing food, with Tia’s Christmas Cake Balls as my personal favourite. After the meeting, about half of us headed across the road to the Sidewalk Cafe at the Opera House. Sue had organised a summer “knitting in public” event for us billed as the “Sydney Festive Season Celebration.” We had a Kris Kringle gift swap (I got some yummy snickerdoodles!) and spent the afternoon knitting and chatting in the sunshine. Crowds of people drifted past as they left Handel’s “Messiah” and did double-takes as they saw 20 people knitting. (Many thought we were doing some sort of charity event.) It was a lovely day, even if I did get sunburnt on the back of my shoulders! There are photos over at Bells’s site.

Ebert reviews Avatar
Hm. Ebert reviews Avatar and gives it four stars. He says Cameron is the only guy in Hollywood who knows how to spend $300 million wisely. I hadn’t been planning to see it – the trailers bored me – but his opinion carries a lot of weight…

Dragged Snook to city for retail therapy. Hit M&S sale and Myer. Tip: don’t walk thru Myer ground floor w/ mouth open. Perfume tastes bad!
Not happy with @runkeeper 2.0. Paused run to use @foursquare, then could NOT get RK to launch again. Ended up having to reinstall. 🙁
Check out the 6.85 km run I did with @runkeeper http://bit.ly/6UIGiK #RunKeeper
Up to row 117 on St. Brigid. At present tension, back will be 10cm too short. Looks like I’ll be adding in a ninth repeat.
@steven_noble We used inspectors.com.au for ours two years ago. We were pretty happy with them. They have sample reports online.
@steven_noble For baiting we used Echidna Pest Control. We used them at our old place too. Haven’t had a cockroach in two years…

Having a great time at the Knitters Festive Season Celebration! http://twitpic.com/t5mug
@carbolicious Yay! Glad to hear it. Hope you feel better soon.
Just completed a 5.15 km run with @runkeeper, check it out http://bit.ly/7pqCeT #RunKeeper
In a cab on the way to the Opera House to see the Symphony perform Haydn’s “Creation”. Thanks to @Kat13v for the tickets!
The symphony was great! Even this atheist who knows nothing about music was entertained. My favorite bit was Raphael and the worm.
@gadgetgirl70 Neat! Was thinking of making a trip to see that too…
After all the excitement of yesterday, Sunday stretches before me with absolutely nothing scheduled other than knitting and TV. Bliss.

Ahhhhhh! Busy day. Busy day. Getting lots done; just that none of it is actually on my To Do list. 🙁
@WildChildinAUS It doesn’t, for me. You just get used to it.
@knitabulous @randomknits SWEET. We’re bringin’ it to the fuddy-duddies.
@sharre Oh noes. Mine is knitting related AND kitsch AND silly!
@crumpet Thats nearly a sprint! Slow it WAY down and do it for three times as long. 🙂
@DDsD Knitters Festive Celebration at Sidewalk Cafe at Opera House from 2. Bring sticks and string. 🙂
Where are the buses? I may be a few minutes late to the Guild meeting…
@witty_knitter Just caught the 470 so I must be in front of you.
Just got word that our meeting will have an unexpected visitor. This could be interesting. I’m not gonna do a damn thing differently.
@DDsD Wait til we get drunk. Tipsy Knitters en masse is a formidable sight.

@Justacogitating I sleep with my iPhone. Really.
Had my first visit to the upper floor of Bill & Toni’s. Schnitzel was good, but man… Slightly intimidating crowd up there.
RT @Justacogitating: But isn’t the monthly $$ ungodly on the iPhone? // Not in Oz. We have it on 5 different carriers. 🙂
