    @ImagiNERDtive Nice one! I need some of that momentum. πŸ™‚


    @Yarna_ Do we still need help with snacks for Saturday? I could probably bring something.


    Giving up on my lost @fitbit and removing the device from my account. πŸ™


    @drkknits Nope. Just email somebody who’s going to be there, that’s easiest. Unless you like public validation. πŸ™‚


    @drwitty_knitter @Yarna_ Yep, I can bring something too. I’ll be a little late though.


    @drwitty_knitter @yarna_ I’ve got a meet & greet with cat sitters at 10:30. πŸ™‚


    @drwitty_knitter @Yarna_ I’m Christmas Partying tonight, so I plan to be in No Fit State to Bake. πŸ™‚


    @RoseRed_Shoes Yes, POCKETS! My fabric wasn’t wide enough for them, so I actually made them separate and sewed them on. πŸ™‚

    Anybody going to the @GGDSydney Christmas drinks tonight? I’m thinking of popping in!


    @mmastertheone @GGDSydney I’m on my way!


    Just passed a douchebro wearing my Liberty-print Vans. Ugh.

    Waiting to get my face painted. Really.

    Sit down, two-person Atari tables. Best. Party. Ever. http://t.co/AoxUyRivFz


    Proof that I got a high score on Gyruss! http://t.co/aHAIQWMwy5


    We’ll shake it on baby now, twist and shout! http://t.co/nnF0Rl0rlr


    I gave up on the face painting queue. Much too long. Too many geeks living out Avatar fantasies.


    We fell in love in a hopeless place… #lastsong http://t.co/6b63Twq4yE


    CHRISTMAS BUS #3!! Perfect end to the night. http://t.co/MLCbXMXi3k


    @knitterjp I found a pot of paint and had Rodd paint on my mustache!


    RT @leetranlam: So, Tony Abbott is basically just a taller version of Joffrey.


    @voyce Haha, for a second I wondered if it was actually you!


    @Yarna_ I’m running a little late, as is Maria (she rang me).

    No Old Maps Actually Say ‘Here Be Dragons’ – I am both somewhat disappointed that it’s mostly made-up, and also somewhat charmed that it actually existed at all.

    Now for the big reveal: my finished Out-of-this-World Washi Dress! #partytime
    Now for the big reveal: my finished Out-of-this-World Washi Dress! #partytime

    Edited to add: The Snook’s company Christmas party is tonight and the theme is “GLOW”, so I had the idea a couple weeks ago to make a glow-in-the-dark dress. I found this cool fabric and realised it would make a great Washi Dress. (I’d used that pattern once before.) It came together really well! I especially like the little cap sleeves, which give it a very spacey, “Judy Jetson” feel to me. I was so excited to wear it to work today, and a random lady on the bus this morning evening complimented me on it! I’m very happy with this one.

    Hm. Snook’s smoky pork belly maybe not good lunchtime choice. Girl just said: ARE YOU EATING BACON? I CAN SMELL IT AT MY DESK & IT’S SO GOOD


    @RoseRed_Shoes Love it! But… what are you knitting? Is that a hem? Won’t they be upside down?


    @RoseRed_Shoes But of course! Should have known you wouldn’t make such a silly mistake.

    (Hermione probably would have.)


    My 2nd Christmas bus of the season! This one has Santa DRIVING and he even said HOHOHO! as we all dipped our tickets. YAY! Jolly Santa FTW.


    People are smiling and waving at him. It must be hard to be a bus driver most days. I’m glad Jolly Santa driver is getting some love.


    RT @TheOpalUser: Christmas spirit celebrated on Sydney buses #TfNSW #MediaRelease http://t.co/JGHBANbwZA


    @stufromoz @anniespjs Theoretically yes, but all down to whether security knows the rules. Look on airport/airline website and print out!


    @stufromoz @anniespjs But frankly, knitting lace on 16hr flight in cattle class is my idea of hell. Instead I watched Les Mis and drank. πŸ™‚

    A random lady on the bus just tapped my shoulder to say how much she loved my dress and the fabric! I told her: You just made my day!


    @brittanieshey It’s from here if you want some: http://t.co/Pckn4uPFzE


    @brittanieshey Yep. Inspiration was the Snook’s Christmas party tonight with the theme: GLOW.


    @bezthomas Got it from here: http://t.co/Pckn4uPFzE

    Many thanks to @justasitsounds for passing on his unwanted ham. Now how am I going to get nearly 9kg of delicious ham home on the bus?!


    @RoseRed_Shoes @Yarna_ Guess what? The IC mailing list IS ALIVE! Just re-sent your message out. Did you get it??


    My first visit. So far so good! (@ Noddy’s on King) http://t.co/X4CM8wtW2Q


    Okay @drkknits @drwitty_knitter – Noddy’s = good so far. Fancy though! Do I tip stylist/colourist? If so, how?


    @knitterjp @justasitsounds I got it in the house in the end. Made the 438 bus smell of ham though!


    @drwitty_knitter @drkknits Ah good. I never have in Oz but I’ve never gone to a really top place either.


    New stylist! Quite happy. Layered cut, copper with blonde bits. Nothing drastic. #selfie @ Noddy’s on… http://t.co/hT3iaS1wZu


    @drwitty_knitter @drkknits Quite happy. It was under arbitrary budget I set too! Booked in again. Thanks for recommendation!


    The new SEO: find a 10yo broken link on a blog, email webmaster, helpfully suggest they replace with link to your spammy site. DO NOT WANT.
