Go Ahead, Try Drawing an Outline of the Midwest on a Map – Jenny Xie – The Atlantic Cities – Fascinating. My map would have looked like the one drawn by those who’ve lived most of their lives in the Midwest. It’s a pretty meaningless designation outside the US though, as nobody over here understands what it means. I always end up specifying “near Chicago.”
Month: July 2013

@drkknits Zumbo makes a version.
Anybody found a method to track steps and allow competition between friends with Fitbit and Jawbone?
@catehstn Problem is that I’ve got Fitbit, and friends have Jawbones.
@drkknits Why do you not have a rice cooker? No Asian household would be without one. 🙂
@DanielleWarby Added!
@drkknits I’d give you mine but I still use it occasionally!
It appears that @Kat13v has also skipped the “interesting fact” part of the Camp registration. We’ll just have to make something up for her!
Woohoo! Guild Camp is now up to 34 paid attendees! And barely any of my friends have registered yet! *glares meaningfully* #youknowwhoyouare
@RoseRed_Shoes And you can’t even type on it as I didn’t have Adobe to make it editable! Fail fail fail.
@RoseRed_Shoes That said, the form itself isn’t important. You can just put answers in an email if that’s easier.
@redambition @drkknits @rosered_shoes Did I mention Kylie is sleeping in the GoGet van? THERE’S YOUR DAMN PRIVATE ROOM.
@trudib73 We’ve set the cut off at August 31, unless it fills up earlier. (Still plenty of room though!)
The final steps: cuffs and hem. Check out that sleeve placket! Now it just need buttons to finish… http://t.co/yyZWIhNYa7
@zephyrama Colette’s version is complicated but works well if you follow step by step. http://t.co/L9mWr7avla
Need to find a house/cat sitter for early October. Anybody available? @Ezzles? (Too bad @drkknits has dragons to tend…)
I love that they named the #royalbaby George, because @the_snook launched right into his Prince George (from Blackadder) impression.
On the one hand, having a lie-in on Thursday is an unexpected treat. On the other hand, we’re going to a funeral.

Whoa! Just discovered 5 more registrations for @KnitGuildNSW Camp! Sneaky @ClareLouise1308 recording them secretly… 🙂
@misswired @esmewatson Don’t talk to me about knitting. I’m stuck on an endless pair of sleeves and it’s KILLING ME.
Incident with mandolin (the food kind) has rather affected my iPhone usage today. Idea: conductive Band-Aids! http://t.co/UKpe9XY34b
@randomknits Nah, we’re just over 1/3 capacity now. That said, capacity = 90 which would be unheard of. Aiming for 50.
@ClareLouise1308 Sweet! I will send out initial responses and update budget later tonight then. Woo!
@smark31 *narrows eyes*
Channeling my Appalachian heritage to make a baking soda poultice for a crappy splinter in my left hand. http://t.co/nEg4QPjDE8
@tinkabel I can’t tell. If it came out, it was tiny. Seems to be less sore today. If not out, I’m gonna slice the sucker I guess.

Seriously pleased with myself re: how well the plaid lines up! Only problem is how much fabric I wasted in the progress. #stilllearning
Latte art! I think it’s a horse. (@ Toby’s Estate w/ 2 others) [pic]: http://t.co/Ybrau5INOV
Sleeves added with flat fell seams. Sewing? THIS IS TAILORING, DAMMIT. http://t.co/2cO2nwDd4X
@randomknits Lovely! How was the pattern to work from? Any alterations?
@neil_killick @littlehelper @brown_note I saw it last weekend. Really good fun! But the WORST Aussie accents. You’ll see.
Protip from Hipster Martha Stewart: don’t lean your elbow against a hot iron. Ouch. http://t.co/cp4htMdxYd

Watch Game of Thrones’ amazing tribute to its many dead characters http://t.co/LGaku3tvK5 // Ha! I appreciated the Boyz II Men.
Heal your Game of Thrones anguish with these plush Direwolf puppies http://t.co/3DFmmwDvl3 // WANT! cc @drkknits
I spent ALL NIGHT cutting out the fabric for Negroni. Good thing I got so much extra, as I used up a lot figuring out how to handle plaid!
