    Final tally of Knitting Camp weekend: more than six hours on the train; two socks half-knitted; two runs; two yoga classes; two bottles of wine drunk; one class taught; one class attended; one presentation given; one Huntsman spider squealed at; and about ten kangaroos spotted. And several new friends made!


    “Man, I missed our bed. I can’t sleep in other beds.” “Next week you’ll be sleepin’ in a sack in the desert!” Crap.

    @beccakr You have been discussed. RC has been sitting behind me all day. 🙂


    My Knit 1 Below swatch has been turned into a bitchin’ wrist cuff: http://twitpic.com/k79fm


    It’s show & tell, and @mrs_sockvictim just showed off her wedding dress. http://twitpic.com/k7yw3


    Internet presentation was very well received by knitters. A great way to finish camp! Sleep, then catching train home in the morn…


    Just completed a 3.90 km run with @runkeeper, check it out http://bit.ly/nPuWf #RunKeeper


    Catching the train home. Looking forward to the Snook and a decent coffee. http://twitpic.com/kazn4

    Another nature sighting! Tiny baby rabbit. Watch out for the goannas, bunny!


    I’ve even managed to get some knitting done today. Sheri’s Posies Socks by WendyKnits: http://twitpic.com/k26mu


    @Kat13v I saw 3D! Not sure whether it was super better, but it was less distracting than I feared.


    Great 1st day at knitting camp. Taught my class, ran, saw roos, knitted, did yoga, drank wine. Looking forward yo tomorrow. #fb


    @redambition Sharre’s birthday?? HAPPY BIRTHDAY, @sharre!!!


    @witty_knitter @kat13v All good so far, though it appears SWMBO is avoiding us…


    The question is: will iPhone auto-update for daylight savings? Or am I going to oversleep an hour tomorrow?


    iPhone is set to auto update time. I will Trust in Steve.


    Today I’m learning the Knit 1 Below technique. Challenging at first, but fun once you get going. http://twitpic.com/k5uj7


    Had another wildlife sighting. A Huntsman spider and I had a standoff in my room this morning. We’re buddies now.

    If somebody wants to give me a Google Wave invite, I will happily handknit them a custom pair of socks.


    @that_alison I saw that. I’m not much bothered though. I figured I’d just throw it out there in case anybody had any that were unclaimed. 🙂


    @Bex_the_Femme Heehee. I thought of it the day after it happened, but then it got too played. But it’s come out the other side again!


    Heading out to Knitting Guild Camp!


    BEHOLD! If you’re reading this, we have achieved Internet at knitting camp. The wine is flowing. http://twitpic.com/jy0gs


    @Kat13v So far no controversy, but our little friend is definitely watching Twitter. (It was the first thing she said tonight.)


    Just completed a 4.13 km run with @runkeeper, check it out http://bit.ly/25e8cy #RunKeeper


    Went for a run with @mrs_sockvictim and saw two kangaroos and a Joey! http://twitpic.com/k0acp

    @runkeeper Trying to upload pic, but profile page is saying my username (web-goddess) has invalid chars! Do I have to change names?


    This is too much stress going into a 3 day weekend. My stomach is starting to hurt. #fb


    ZOMG. Just passed big movie premiere on George St. RALPHIE IS IN SYDNEY AND I MISSED IT! http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1078940/


    461 driver just blew past Broadway despite me waving frantically. I’m also carrying like 50lbs of gear for Guild Camp, so I’m PISSED.


    @knitterjp Ha! It would be easier if I weren’t dragging several thousands of dollars worth of electronics in a wheelie bag.

  • H1N1 Vaccine

    Hey Aussies, it appears that we’re all getting a free swine flu vaccine. My doctor offered it to me this morning but apparently Broadway hasn’t received their stock yet. (I did get my dip/tet/per booster this morning, as my recent whooping cough test showed that my childhood immunisation had worn off.)
