    @laimelde It’s from Costco! Was very happy with that purchase. 🙂


    @knitabulous As well you should! Both the new ones I bought were minis. 🙂


    Just finished A Feast for Crows. Only one more to go, right? These books are kiling me…


    Lack of exercise leading to bad sleep, bad mood, irritability, depression. I was Crabby Crabberson today. Sorry, co-workers. 🙁


    @drkknits @knitterjp On my way! Walking, so might be late. Feel free to go to cafe and then tell me where to find you.


    @knitterjp @drkknits Just around the corner


    @drkknits @knitterjp Which one is that?

  • Insurance

    And once again, I see how much health insurance costs in the U.S. and I am very, very glad I live in Australia. Our cost: $207.75 per month for the pair of us. Includes a high level of Extras cover (dental, optical, orthotics, etc).

    @Opheli8 Ahem. Only if you say it in a poncy accent. 🙂


    HOLY CRAP. Less than $2K to go for TON OF WOOL. @gusseting is going to pull it off! SHE’S GONNA DO IT! WE ALL DID IT! http://t.co/7opaZAV


    @FoodConnectSyd It’s not food, but you guys would love what @gusseting is doing with wool.pozible.com. Yay for sustainable & local produce!


    @gusseting I sent an email about TON OF WOOL to my friend Michael of sustainablehouse.com.au. Hopefully he’ll share it with others!


    @msgusset LESS THAN A GRAND TO GO. WOOOOOOOO!


    Seriously, the fact that TON OF WOOL just hit its target makes my heart grow three sizes. WAY TO GO, YOU GUYS!

    Just turned down a possibly lucrative advertising offer for RoaldDahlFans. Disruptive lightbox ads on a site for kids? No, thank you.


    In front of my laptop. The purring is like a chainsaw. http://t.co/MhxuaFp


    @stufromoz Hahaha, I always hesitate thinking: “Am I posting too many photos of my cats? Nah, Stu will love it!”


    @venks79 Oh, I would’ve sold out for banner or text ads. But lightboxes are the new popups, and they suck!

  • Pop

    “It’s called POP, not SODA.” Dear entire Midwest, I would love that shirt for Christmas. Big hugs, Kristy.

  • REAL Subversive Cross Stitch

    “Nazis, needlework and my dad.” This is a fascinating article about a British officer to cross-stitched while held in a POW camp in WW2 and managed to include subversive, coded messages into the design. His son is also a stitcher and has a few pieces on exhibit at the V&A in London. You can see his dad’s famous sampler here.

    Fun! Just discovered that James Mathison goes to Spudds Gym too. Passed him as I was leaving…


    @knitterjp Ooh Ooh! Thanks for the tip. Opening when?


    Drinks with Kev and Zagbot. (@ East Sydney Hotel) http://t.co/gZ0ZWnf


    @Anthony_Mills Commiseration. Snooky told me flatout 4 years ago that he wasn’t moving again unless it was to a place we owned.


    @codepo8 Yes, my inside source tells me the internal IRC channel was having much merriment with the news today… 🙂


    @toastman Relax! Rodos wasn’t with me. I didn’t cross any streams.


    @drkknits @kunaal84 He got to do some punching at lunchtime. I think that helped. But I probably should’ve bought him a cookie too…


    @stufromoz @bendurbubble @redambition Yes! Buy some of @gusseting’s RIGHT NOW: wool.pozible.com. (Otherwise, check out Spinners Guild site.)


    RT @knitabulous: Very excited about sewjourn in november..


    It’s called POP, not SODA. So brilliant, I will overlook that a Michigander designed it. http://t.co/Htzhmyg


    @kunaal84 Have a great trip!
