@AusVintageGrrl @zephyrama How does that work? You got a link to a tutorial or anything?

---

@zephyrama @AusVintageGrrl Ahhh, I get you. Useful tip – thanks!

---

@Gidgetknits @drkknits @randomknits @knitterjp Those are useful! I suck at growing veg and I’m scared of chickens. You’re IN.

---

@drkknits @Gidgetknits @randomknits @knitterjp I guess you’re gonna have to be the Laura Roslin. Which civil liberties shall you cut first?

---

@knitterjp @gidgetknits @drkknits @randomknits I have looked at http://t.co/z1nDaBtl before. But again, Chicken Fear.

---

@drkknits @Gidgetknits @randomknits @knitterjp I love that we’re talking about a Zombie Apocalypse, and you’re stuck on who to hook up with.

---

@TMBGAustralia Was just reading the FB page to see if any tour dates had been announced. Saw you guys in Syd in 2001 and it was AWESOME!

---

@knitterjp @RoseRed_Shoes @drkknits @randomknits Corsets would inhibit my ability to kick zombie ass. This isn’t STEAMPUNK, you hipster!

---

@jezfletcher A personal favourite. Saw it back in college when doing my film degree. Melanie Lynskey is amazing…

---

@zephyrama Oh no! Not good?

---

Wee nip of whisky + hot shower + old book finally did the trick. Sleep and I are friends again! Except now I don’t want to get up…

---

@drkknits I’m so sorry that happened. It’s good you spotted the ticks when you did! I hope puppy is better soon…

---

Frocktober #13. You gotta love a dress where the collar sticks out past the shoulders. #vintage http://t.co/fplHZDcd

---

@that_alison Old Vogue! Used to be in Chippo but recently moved to Marrickville: http://t.co/I67r1qIo

---

@zephyrama @RoseRed_Shoes I think it was actually homemade too, judging by zigzagging on seams instead of overlocking!

---

@drkknits Don’t suppose you’d lend me those? I’m a sucker for English history.

---

@mrs_sockvictim Welcome back!

---

@miftik @domalessio Aus is doing pretty well, though a lot of it is on the back of the mining boom. IT is going strong tho, in my experience

---

@miftik I’d probably have to, like, adopt you though. 😛

---

@knitdra @drkknits I have to say, references to political strategy and V. Woolf may have put me off. I like ACTION and PLOTS!

---

Working from home but cats aren’t bothering me. Apparently I kept them awake all night too.

---

RT @Center4Fiction: Best tweet of the night: RT @sblackmoore: You know who else has binders full of women? Serial killers.

---

@BarackObama Would like to donate, but form doesn’t seem to allow American expats living abroad to contribute!

---

Received 2 phone calls and an email from @RedCrossAU in the past 24 hours. I donated to them, but geez, they are pursuing me hard. 🙁

---

@Ezzles Damn, we’ll miss you! Have fun with your move though… Hope it goes smoothly!

---

I have gotten sign-off from @the_snook on the Halloween menu. What, like you don’t project manager your social gatherings?!

---

@drkknits @the_snook There is most definitely a spreadsheet. I have Halloween spreadsheets going back 5+ years. Such a dork.

---

@drkknits I’m going to start assigning your name to tasks on it. You’ll see.

---

Tripping on camera in front of everybody is my nightmare. Hugs, Julia.

---

.@jose9 Haha, nice. I should totally institute daily standups and a burn-down chart.

---

@drkknits SHORT SKIRT HOOCHIE MAMAS UNITE.

---

@zephyrama You are hard.core. I can’t wait to see how it turns out.

---

@redambition I sewed some sequins for mine, and it nearly killed me.

---

@zephyrama Won’t get my Gertie book til Sunday. Looking forward to it!

---

@randomknits I bought 3.5m, so at least I’ve got enough left to do a top. 🙂

---

@randomknits Obviously my Lace Incompetence has infected you.

---

@drkknits Nice one!

---

Finally wearing Hazel today. Seams are itching me. I think I need to start investigating how to “fully line” things. #sensitiveskin

---

Frocktober #12 – this is @ColettePatterns Hazel I sewed last weekend! #ifeelpretty http://t.co/U3imjem0

---

@knitterjp @drkknits @randomknits Whoa. $2800 for a pair of shoes?!

---

@randomknits @knitterjp @drkknits This is a very important skill for Zombie Apocalypse Preparedness. I’m definitely tempted.

---

@drkknits @randomknits @knitterjp Obviously we only need one of us each to have these skills within the commune. Specialisation!

---

@drkknits @randomknits @knitterjp I hate to break it to you, but Ivory Tower Academic is not a role we need in the commune.

---

@drkknits @randomknits @knitterjp Now, Butter Churner or Kangaroo Butcher? Those we need. Get on that. 😛

---

New headphones + Spotify’s “90’s” radio station = Kris in protective (and hopefully productive) cocoon.

---

@zephyrama I know about those. It’s mainly the one joining the gathered shirt to bodice. Can you still French seam that?

---

@Gidgetknits @drkknits @randomknits @knitterjp Only once food, clothes, and shelter are taken care of. Any additional skills? 🙂

---

@zephyrama Oh, that’s a good idea! Might try that then. Thanks.

---

1) AUS 2) IT business analyst 3) Yep, both free gov Medicare and $300/mo private covered by husband’s job #InsurancePoll (cc @amandapalmer)

---

@knitterjp Love the Karlstad!

---

@zephyrama When I put a cardigan over mine, it suddenly took on a very maternity look.

---

@zephyrama @randomknits Discovered today that I can’t wear my new Hazel out yet, as not a single bra works with its strap placement.

---

@drkknits I think the cartoons reload every refresh, as none of the ones I see are knitting related!

---

@Gidgetknits @drkknits Hahaha, @gemma747 beat you to it. You’re both procrastinating. 🙂

---

STOP. THE. PRESSES. This requires a complete Halloween costume re-think. I could be SEXY CORN??! http://t.co/OhS7m1xs (cc @the_snook)

---

@DrMiaow We don’t tend to go for scary costumes. In the US there’s not such an emphasis on that.

---

@randomknits And Rodd could be a SEXY FARMER. Isn’t this brilliant? But then I’d have to devise some cardboard tractor outfit for the cat…

---

Just watched Petey Cat stick his head in a water glass and drink. The water glass I keep beside the bed and drink from myself. HURL!

---

@blakepup Knitting’s been in a boom cycle for nearly 10 years now. I know lots of public transport knitters – including myself. 🙂

---

@Rellarc79 Sewing machine to the rescue!

---

RT @brainpicker: Oh wow. The population of Russia 1500-2000, visualized in a crocheted scarf http://t.co/qalzlC9E

---

@cdeagle Yep. In fact, I know someone who is using it in his job at Google…

---

Hey, I was on the telly Friday night! http://t.co/56LZ4QO0

---

@drkknits Like 4, maybe?

---

This weekend I roasted a chicken, sewed a dress, hung all my clothes on the line, and planned a quilt. Apparently I’m Amish now.

---

My roast chicken dinner. http://t.co/hFIP7XJL

---

@toastman Everybody shits on the Stable Table. I LOVE the Stable Table!

---

@gemma747 Hey, is that the pizza place? I’ve eaten there! It’s not far from my office. 🙂

---

@drkknits Lovely! And a bright colour – huzzah for personal growth. 🙂

---

@AusVintageGrrl Ooh, that looks awesome. If you go back anytime soon, I’ll pay you to pick up one for me! 🙂

---

Frocktober #11. New dress! Bought at Target (damaged) and repaired by me. http://t.co/3UG5PnRi

---

Shirtdress gapes a bit between buttons. Have it safety pinned for now. What’s better: adding snaps or sewing down and putting in a side zip?

---

@redambition I thought that was just gluing your boobs to your clothes, not gluing your clothes shut! 😀

---

@AusVintageGrrl Ooh, I’d love one. (Are you coming to Halloween? Could get it from you then…)

---

@redambition @zephyrama I think I have some snaps at home. They may be metal though. Any reason why plastic are better?
