    @venks79 Haha, there are days when I don’t tweet! Jeez. Somebody once asked if I was sick because I took 3+hrs to reply to email. 🙂


    Anybody want to go to Tessuti’s today? I feel like buying some fabric. @mrs_sockvictim?


    Guess who finished her Leyburn socks? I’M GONNA TOTALLY CATCH UP, YOU GUYS! http://flic.kr/p/aakRSF


    @drkknits It’s the rock star sunnies that make the look.


    Fabric shopping with @mrs_sockvictim is such a double-edged sword. But man, this Liberty Tana Lawn is so PRETTY! 🙂


    @knitterjp @mrs_sockvictim Do I need to prewash these fabrics? Tana Lawn and a Japanese cotton…


    GAHHHHH. Just realised why the horizontal braid on my Fox Faces is on the INSIDE instead of the outside. DURRRRR.


    Jamie’s Spinach & Filo Feta Pie. Tasty, but NO WAY you can make in under 30min. I call shenanigans. http://twitpic.com/61urot


    @kunaal84 And in the rain! You get extra Hard Core Runner points for that. Kick some ass!


    @kunaal84 Great job! Very good pace. Now you’ve got a PB for that distance. 🙂


    @imdominating Funnily enough, Willow SINGING makes me cry like a baby. #makeitstop


    Best part of meeting @mathowie last week: “Hey, didn’t you dress up as @donttrythis for Halloween?” Yes, yes I did. http://bit.ly/ox4rt9

    Just wasted two hours of my life watching “Every Which Way But Loose” in a fit of misplaced nostalgia and missing my Dad. Dear god, that is a TERRIBLE movie. It’s completely random and makes zero sense. The gag where Clint “shoots” Clyde was the only funny 10 seconds in the whole thing.

    @steven_noble Now if you correctly use “begging the question,” I will award you One Million Awesomeness Points.


    I feel like it’s time for a new profile pic… http://instagr.am/p/JSBjn/


    @laimelde Darn you. Now I really want/need a massage too.


    I’m off to the MetaFilter meetup to meet @mathowie and the rest of the gang!


    @redambition I learned of it in the newsletter tonight too! Had no idea. Hate to say it, but I feared something like that would happen…


    @redambition I still use it; just do “Pay in Store.” 🙂


  • Ultra Marathon

    Wow. The guy from The Oatmeal ran an ultra marathon last week. I am worried that I don’t seem as scared by his description as I probably should be.

  • Rooibos

    Ooh. The Colette patterns blog is doing a Rooibos sewalong. Very tempted, but I’m not sure that style would look good on me. What do you guys think? Suitable for tall and curvy, or not so good?

  • Crochet Afghan

    Another crochet afghan to make. Uh oh. I might be developing an obsession here.

  • Photo Post

    I feel like it’s time for a new profile pic…

    Pricing flights to Melbourne at the end of the month. About $200 return (Friday-Monday). Is there a trick to getting them any cheaper?


    @toastman Ha, that’s when we’re going! Just visiting @eileenDCoE and getting out of Sydney for a change. 🙂


    @that_alison @bellsknits You’ll have to pry my big TV from my cold, dead, beer-drinkin’ hands…


    @bellsknits @that_alison Mr Darcy on a big TV is nice, but hot Viking vampires are even better.


    @mrs_sockvictim Rodd and I both have viral infection. Doc is making us cancel Bay Run this weekend. 🙁


    @goshling Ooh, that might be fun! We’re staying with a fellow MeFite too: @eileenDCoE!


    @mathowie And yet some of our stupid local politicians want to rip them up because they leave less room for cars. *sigh*


    @eileenDCoE @goshling I fear the Melbourne meetup may pale in comparison to tomorrow’s in Sydney… WITH MATHOWIE. (I know, right?!)


    @hexsteph I use “Toodledo” (work, home, iPhone) and I love it.


    @witty_knitter Say hi to Cate for us! 🙂


    Feels like Spring today! It prompted me to bare my pale legs in a skirt… and 10 min later a nutter has started chatting to me on the bus.
