    @drkknits Denny’s is the bomb.

    @dancingman I know it’s related to music. I believe I read recently that TMGB’s Istanbul not Constantinople is reminiscent of klezmer music.

    @RoseRed_Shoes @randomknits She beat you to that one. Told me over email. 🙂

    @RoseRed_Shoes @randomknits I think for the sake of matrimonial harmony, I’ll get a job before I drop more cash on fabric I don’t need. 🙂

    @RoseRed_Shoes @randomknits I think I’ve got some for it, actually. 🙂

    @RoseRed_Shoes @randomknits Nono, I have a mod large floral graphic print in stash. Will post photo later.

    Sydney, you are beautiful. @ Darling Harbour http://t.co/XmNc5BfbYM

    @nehadk Not a photo-bomb – just a selfie! 🙂

    @drkknits @RoseRed_Shoes @mrs_sockvictim Basketweaving is still postponed due to lack of interest. I AM MOST PUT OUT.

    @drkknits @RoseRed_Shoes @mrs_sockvictim Also, Sew Make Create now advertising workshop to learn to make macrame plant hangers. SO TEMPTED.

    @RoseRed_Shoes @randomknits @drkknits @mrs_sockvictim Next Saturday basket weaving will prob. be in May. Will let you know. 🙂

    Thinking for Colette Laurel. Only 2m so maybe sleeveless… http://t.co/7C9KODVhvq

    @RoseRed_Shoes @knitabulous @drkknits @mrs_sockvictim We had a macrame owl thing growing up, and I would LOVE TO MAKE ONE MYSELF.

    @RoseRed_Shoes @knitabulous @drkknits @mrs_sockvictim Preferably out of very thick brown cheap-ass acrylic. W00t.

    @mrs_sockvictim @randomknits @knitabulous @drkknits @rosered_shoes I don’t understand. Why is a cat not walking across them like my house?

    Got the job offer. That was quick! Decisions…

    @Illdrinn State Library. I’m very very tempted. Just waiting to hear back on another couple things.

    @knitabulous I haven’t accepted yet! There are complicating factors…

    @mrs_sockvictim I have blades if you can wait til tomorrow! 🙂

    @mrs_sockvictim Nah, not huge. Wheel is 4.5cm diameter.

    @mrs_sockvictim Woo! I’ve got brand new disk still in packaging. And a HUGE cutting mat!

    Gertie’s Shirtwaist Dress: 3.6m, tops. Looks like I’ve got enough left over for an apron after all! @randomknits @RoseRed_Shoes

    I will be very happy to lose this mayorship, the sooner the better. (@ The Sports Clinic) http://t.co/2Cq8cj5cvT

    @chewxy Because we have to have something to look at at the hair salon. Not joking.

    Setback at physio. Wasn’t ready for squats after all. 🙁

    @knitdra Is it okay to ring you? Would love to get your advice on job.

    @lemon_lime @udjamaflip I don’t think there’s much room for negotiating in a government job!

    @BendalongMorgan Yep. 🙂

    @drkknits @knitdra @rosered_shoes @knitabulous @mrs_sockvictim Speaking of: what the hell are you doing awake?

    Waiting for an interview at a bank. Who’s got two thumbs and is a total grown-up? THIS GIRL.

    Well, goddamn. There’s a second job offer. This complicates things.

    @drkknits Yep. I told them I had another offer. They asked me to step out for 30 seconds. Said: we’ll be making you an offer today.

    @drkknits Prob leaning towards CBA. Haven’t got actual offer details yet tho

    @witty_knitter Yep. @knitdra’s bank. 🙂

    @codepo8 I was mostly being narky. Still pissed off about this: http://t.co/T3vbvD3HrA

    Ha. A MeFite made actual Bingo cards for these “Privileged women tell others how they’re doing it wrong” stories. https://t.co/zIOXVcXGeK

    The gardeners are removing the tile saw! It’s actually happening!

    @randomknits @RoseRed_Shoes SAVE SOME FOR ME! Hoping a bus here shortly…

    @drkknits @witty_knitter I read that in Lucille’s voice, of course.

    @drkknits You have a damn smartphone, woman! Coming up on noon.

    @drkknits Well, my iPhone has a world clock. I know what time it is EVERYWHERE.

    Jane failed to stop me buying the most ridiculous fabric ever. @ Calico And Ivy http://t.co/J3k8QbOigP

    @witty_knitter @RoseRed_Shoes I was actually thinking a 50’s style shirtdress. 🙂

    @witty_knitter @RoseRed_Shoes See? Now I HAVE to do it. There’s no such thing as “too much.”

    @arwenamin @witty_knitter @RoseRed_Shoes The background actually is pale pink, btw. It’s ridiculous and I love it.

    It’s like if Gaston ran a pub in Balmain. (@ The Riverview Hotel) [pic]: http://t.co/qZqqw32cFO

    @randomknits I’m an INFLUENCER, GODDAMIT. It’ll be all over the runways next season.

    Walked all the way home from Balmain. Reward time! @ Grand Gelato http://t.co/b0fb6fZF4k

    @randomknits @knitterjp @RoseRed_Shoes @mrs_sockvictim I didn’t get any Liberty. Too rich for my blood, and not nearly LAIRY ENOUGH!

    Waiting for the Snook so we can head off to the Easter Show Arts Preview Night. Oh yes, victory is imminent. I can taste it.

    @knitdra Ah, that’s why she asked where it was! I would have chipped in. 🙂

    @knitdra My sis said the same thing. But background is pale pink!

    @nehadk Actually, I’d like to go! Been meaning to but keep forgetting.

    @mrs_sockvictim Wait, what? I thought @randomknits said the orange was all gone??

    @neil_killick I went for the latter. Left corp. IT for 3yr to run knitting shop. Loved it, but eventually came back to IT for $$ (mortgage).

    @randomknits Zena just posted some pics on Instagram. I see ribbons!!

    @randomknits I’m still on the damn All Stops train…

    @mrs_sockvictim Still on the train. Saw pics of Zena’s stuff, @Kat13v looks to have scored a ribbon too!

    @mrs_sockvictim Both have shared them to FB!

    @nehadk Damn. Thursdays are my worst days next 2 weeks! Maybe weekend then?

    @lemon_lime @webblastsyd Me and @the_snook…

    @randomknits @Alacaeriel Did Reecie win again? I’m still stuck on the damn train…

    @randomknits Stopped in at Sew Make Create on my way home. She flipped out when I said you were closing. Expect a visit!

    Achievement unlocked: blue ribbon for my vest! http://t.co/cJKONUa17E

    And a second for my QR code mittens! http://t.co/7XEttkqWFw

    Did anybody else have “Kris wins a blue ribbon” on their Easter Show Bingo card? No? Just me then? #suckithaters

    @neil_killick I do! Just won a blue ribbon for it at the Easter Show. 🙂

    Lace won by Helene Taylor and Mark Eagleton. http://t.co/QFQX3cLzVF http://t.co/t8HZUCJOK2

    It appears my nemesis @miss_reecie has defeated me. Well done! http://t.co/RsoRNJtZcu

    @randomknits You are asking the wrong frickin person.

    @neil_killick Sure! But my hourly rate is high and I suck at estimating. 🙂

    @randomknits Meh. It was 20 minutes of looking at knitting and then a lot of small talk. You didn’t miss much!

    @randomknits @RoseRed_Shoes got a 1st!! and some 3rds, @knitabulous got a 3rd too!

    @clepetit Thank god. I might actually stand a chance of catching you then.

    @Alacaeriel @randomknits @miss_reecie @redambition Yes, I heard judges moved both shawls out of beaded.

    @clepetit I did 15K today and it nearly killed me. I don’t know how you hit 25K+.

    @randomknits I like a leather “thimble” for handquilting. Protects my finger but gives a bit more feeling and control!

    RT @eileenDCoE: So proud of @web_goddess for her Easter Show victory!! // YAY! I’m so excited you’ll get to see it in person next week! 🙂

    @Justacogitating According to the apprentice judge I spoke to, they actually “got” it. That was my biggest worry!

    @randomknits Mine was just a crappy Birch one I got at TC. I totally destroyed it on my first quilt, which is why it has 2 blood spots.

    @GeorgieKnits Thank you!

    @Helen__H Hahahaha, thanks. I’m just glad that the concept was so well received by everybody!

    @lifeasdaddy Thank you thank you!

    @drkknits Too true! I should have given you credit. I think I did on the blog post though… 🙂

    @mmastertheone @pinkcatknits @miss_reecie Thank you thank you!

    @pyko @Yarna_ @gemma747 Thank you!

    @messicat Hahaha, you made me LOL during the Arts Preview. 😛

    @stringy Thank you!

    @drkknits @RoseRed_Shoes BEGINNER’S LUCK! Well, somebody had to say it. Although somewhat mitigated by legitimate crochet awesomeness. 😛

    @drkknits @RoseRed_Shoes Definitely. I saw many things that I’d actually wear. And the crochet toys were straight-up BETTER than knitted.

    @drkknits @RoseRed_Shoes Although that may be because Jean Greenhowe never designed any fucking crochet clowns.

    @drkknits @RoseRed_Shoes Yep. Same old Santa and Mrs Claus. But there were other cooler things too. I liked @Kat13v’s “Dr Whooves” a lot!

    @drkknits Facebook and Twitter are frenemies.

    @jannism I saw that a few times in the past couple hours.

    RT @ColettePatterns: Today on the blog: Introducing Laurel http://t.co/f9Jzbc6xxm // Purchased! And I’ve got the PERFECT fabric for it!

    @jojoconstance Definitely! Then go get some group shots in front of the Opera House or something. @colettepatterns would love that!

    @redambition Hahaha, I saw that category too. I said to Rodd: That category is RIPE FOR THE PICKING.

    Well, it looks like one job offer may be incoming today. Decisions, decisions, decisions…

    @venks79 I have this thing where sometimes I have no confidence in myself. I’m trying hard to fight it. But yeah, sometimes.

    When it rains, it pours. Just lined up another interview today as soon as the library one finishes!

    @stufromoz That’s where I went to Uni. My parents live like 30 miles from there. I’ve flown into that dinky airport. *mind blown*

    Also, the gardeners turned up! What a day! Everything’s coming up Milhouse…

    @stufromoz No, they don’t live in town. Asking Mom now what’s going on.

    Refuelling with bulgogi between interviews. YOBOSAYO! (@ Hunter Connection International Food Court w/ 2 others) http://t.co/esVL5OOZTS

    @supercres It was! $9.50 for the “sizzling beef” lunch special. Not bad at all…

    Two interviews finished and homework sent off for my dream job. Is that enough grown-up stuff for today?

    @redambition Snook and I will be there.

    @mrs_sockvictim @RoseRed_Shoes @randomknits Is this a trip to a place that sells Liberty? Is there room for one more Lady of Leisure? 🙂

    @redambition @RoseRed_Shoes @mrs_sockvictim @randomknits Just get sacked. All the fashionable people are unemployed, you know!

    @RoseRed_Shoes @mrs_sockvictim My whole day is free! I can do whatever.

    @mrs_sockvictim @RoseRed_Shoes Where’s good for lunch over there? Shall we just set a time/place and Fee can join if she can?

    @RoseRed_Shoes @mrs_sockvictim Sounds great!

    Confession: I would totally go to Disney on Ice Heroes and Princesses. If somebody gave me a ticket.

    @witty_knitter @mrs_sockvictim Yes – it’s tomorrow!

    @rachievaichie Cycling is out due to injury. Most of those other things would require $$ for transport. Vic Park pool is close, I guess.

    Gardeners are here, hopefully for the last time. Anybody wanna bet?

    I feel certain @drkknits needs to share my rage. http://t.co/T3vbvD3HrA

    @randomknits @witty_knitter @drkknits But you’ve got to get to the part where the lady named her kids Fable, Reverie, and Boheme!

    @lemon_lime @arwenamin @witty_knitter @drkknits You’d have an easier time rejoining the work force later than most women would. 🙁

    @lemon_lime @arwenamin @witty_knitter @drkknits Because women are naturally more nurturing, because they play with dolls. *shoots self*

    @udjamaflip @lemon_lime I was just telling @the_snook that we need Lego. And with no kids, we can afford the giant Millennium Falcon!

    @witty_knitter It’s all your fault for making me want things like a career and security. I COULD’VE BEEN MOMMYBLOGGING FOR YEARS NOW.

    How many Retro Housewife points do I get for putting a pork roast in for my husband’s dinner? Bonus: I was barefoot and wearing a dress.

    @Rellarc79 I do believe that @mrs_sockvictim can answer that, as she was the designer for the show. 🙂

    @knitdra Yay, congrats! WELCOME TO THE WORLD, SEVEN PARKER.

    It’s nearly 9am Monday morning. Are the gardeners here? If you can’t guess, you’re a fool. Of course not.

    @witty_knitter Well, I’d have thought today, but they’re not here. So obviously not today. 🙁

    @handmethepanda Oh, my 2 experiences with reno (plus countless series of Grand Designs) have taught me that project plans mean bupkis.

    @randomknits I do! At a library! I just have to say I like books, right? And I know lots of cool librarians! 😀

    @randomknits More importantly: what does one wear to an interview at a library? MY WARDROBE DOESN’T HAVE NEARLY ENOUGH LIBERTY PRINT IN IT.

    I blogged my three Easter Show entries this year, including the QR Code Mittens: http://t.co/mruiXtg1vS

    @toastman The sandwiches were very good, but very expensive.

    @RoseRed_Shoes The case seems to reserved for Things That Take a Really Long Time. I can’t imagine dedicating that much effort to lace.

    @RoseRed_Shoes The percentage of Time Spent Not Knitting Red Lace Thing was very, very high. I hated that damn thing.

    More blogging! What, WHAT?! I KNOW! I realised I’d never documented sewing the Hobbes toy: http://t.co/caW6tyqYUg

    @mudsurfer I included a rather lengthy tag explaining! My friend was there as apprentice judge/observer, so I figured she could help too. 🙂

    No no, everyone, card houses won’t work. They’re hipster parallelograms!

    Annoyed that @the_snook signed up for @TheOldReader after me, yet his feeds are all imported and I’ve only got 3.

    Manually setting up all my RSS feeds on The Old Reader. Huh. A lot of these sites are dead. I guess it was time for a spring clean anyway!

    @liamvhogan It strikes me that I may be screwing myself doing them manually if the import I kicked off ever does finish.

    @Alegrya I figured it out! Double click on the folder name.

    @handmethepanda @Alegrya Not that I can see, but if @TheOldReader wants cash, I will happily throw some their way!

    @BendalongMorgan Really?! What were you doing for them? I was meant to interview tomorrow but couldn’t make it.

    I met Galina Khmeleva tonight at M&S and showed her photos of my Show knitting and she said it was beautiful. Awesome.

    @BendalongMorgan It’s Senior Business Analyst working in digital department. Not sure what sort of projects exactly yet…

    @mrs_sockvictim Everyone was gone when I got to M&S, so I was the only one who met her. (She was talking to Mrs M.)

    Last night I learned you can buy a takeaway bottle of wine at the Bowling Club for $9.50. Today I have a terrible headache. Related.

    @that_alison But are they really “genderised”? I didn’t see any indication they were meant for girls. (I kinda dig them, actually.)

    @that_alison Okay, they only turn up when you search Women’s + Pink, not Men’s + Pink. Still. I dig them. 🙂

    @ppetrovski Agree. Very annoyed. Now I’ve got to figure out an alternative.

    @codepo8 Lemme know if you find anything good. I’m in the same boat.

    @drkknits I have to defer to @imdominating or @kellymcmahon on that one…

    @drkknits @markdrechsler Let the record show that I have *never* used “Chicago pickle” as a euphemism. (But I might start now…)

    Arguing with Snook whether inherent reproducibility of some art forms (photography, printmaking) means value of the art is less. @crumpet?

    @jojoconstance I guess I’m wondering why “the original matters”. That’s just artificial scarcity, isn’t it?

    @jojoconstance This was prompted by me finding a print I liked that was $450, and him thinking it was too expensive “because it’s a print.”

    @supercres She runs a close second to Hodor for me.

    @jojoconstance There are artworks though that were intended to be done as copies. Like an Andy Warhol print.

    @jojoconstance I think you’re talking about content of the art. I’m just talking about reproducibility. You could have an abstract print?

    @the_snook @crumpet But you actually even listed a formula for it. You said every copy divided the worth of the original creation!

    Confirmed with builders that they will be back again tomorrow. Project has now officially taken 2x as long as estimated!

    @crumpet @the_snook Then question is: if you only have $X to spend, you should always get 1-off instead of print? Because it’s “worth” more?

    @witty_knitter We had a quote for the whole job ahead of time. It’s just taking them a lot longer than expected!

    @the_snook @crumpet I’m arguing with “For that amount of money, I’d rather have a one-off.” Because to me that part is irrelevant.

    @witty_knitter There are other annoyances. My entire garden being a mess, construction rubbish everywhere, noise, having to be home…

    @crumpet @the_snook Haha. There’s a map of Sydney artwork for sale on Temple & Webster today. $450. It’s big, but it’s printed.

    @crumpet @the_snook I’m not really in favour of buying; I just thought it was a nice design. I’m just trolling him for being an art snob!

    @crumpet @the_snook I found it at designer’s website: http://t.co/CoNdUU6IqV

    @witty_knitter You obviously live in a house that has power outlets outside. Ours does not. We could leave keys, I guess.

    @witty_knitter Just makes things more difficult with cats, etc. Also have had to make a lot of decision as they go.

    @witty_knitter No possible working with deliberately wonky materials, in our case.

    @henrytapia My impulse was to immediately go there and endorse you for it myself. But then I remembered I owed you one this week. 🙂

    @handmethepanda Hahaha, yeah. I’m sure the builders would have preferred a more “Agile” T&M approach!

    HOT DOG DEGUSTATION: http://t.co/SjFL7uiKqm It’s probably best that @drkknits is out of the country. She is my enabler for such things.

    @gilmae @randomknits Their hot dogs are so. damn. good.

    @randomknits You haven’t ever had them hook you up to an e-meter outside Town Hall Woolies? (Actually, I haven’t seen them there in ages…)

    I’ve never thought of myself consciously as a networker, but based on job leads/tips I’m getting, I must be doing it right. THANKS EVERYONE!

    We had our first test at the #IIBA study group tonight: 10/10. Hermione’s still got it.

    @mrs_sockvictim But what about the question everybody is dying to know: how many points did I beat @miss_reecie by? 500? My poor nemesis!

    @drkknits @imdominating There better be tweets with photos. This is going to get me through the day.

    @drkknits Too bad you won’t be there for St Pat’s Day. They dye it green, you know!

    @drkknits Ooh, Macca’s will have Shamrock Shakes!

    @drkknits Actually I don’t think I’ve ever had one. They’re mint, I think?

    @imdominating @drkknits I imagine “stupid boys” to be a much more entertaining and fertile ground for conversation.

    Hey @RoseRed_Shoes: your email is hacked. You’re sending out spam messages. 🙁

    @bakevin We need some sort of gamified IIBA app, because that definitely would be cause to earn a badge of some sort. 🙂

    @bakevin That’s the problem with my experience working with digital agencies. *Most* of the systems I’ve worked on are now gone!

    I am not going to miss this CBD traffic, I tell you. (Now watch me get another job in the CBD…)

    RT @BerndtSellheim: A modern relationship: You know your wife is awake, and it’s time to put on the coffee machine, when she retweets you.

    @eobeara I could see that.

    Why yes, I am reading the BABOK curled up on the couch with a glass of whiskey. Doesn’t everyone?

    @handmethepanda Oh yes! Very exciting stuff.

    @imdominating That is BRILLIANT. I just wish it had been a supercut of him laughing from EVERY movie.

    Managed to install Spotify on my Ubuntu machine at home. I feel like Angelina Jolie in Hackers.

    @chewxy Interested to hear your impressions of it!

    @chewxy Yeah, I have a Fitbit which has a vibrating alarm and a wrist strap to wear at night. Freaks me out every morning when it goes off!

    Chastened. I discovered today that I actually *like* the web-based version of Tweetdeck. I STILL WISH THE ICON WAS YELLOW THOUGH.

    @drkknits The builders are sawing and whacking pavers right outside my window. I might destroy something.

    @drkknits HAHAHAHA. Okay, that made me laugh. Yes, technically still til Friday, jerk! 😛

    @drkknits @imdominating Well, obvs. She just saw SMeyer. Drizzle is better for sparkly vampires!

    @drkknits @imdominating Cool people have her sign their pants. Special ones with RPattz face airbrushed on them, of course.

    @drkknits @imdominating She wishes.
