  • OSU Marching Band

    You know I hate to give Ohio State any credit, but this video game-themed halftime show is AMAZING.


  • Voyager

    Voyager – a Galaga-style video game made with needle-felted wool. That looks amazing.

    Mother-in-law SMSed to offer me her collection of 70’s-80’s Burda sewing magazines with patterns. YES, PLS.


    Oh yes, I have control over the office iTunes today. Guess what, coworkers? You’re getting the entire Best of Bootie catalog.


    Frocktober #5. I wore my Docs because I felt like kicking Monday’s ass. http://t.co/xJRVnYbZ


    @RoseRed_Shoes @drkknits Mine are 11 years old. Got em in London, and still practically brand new! (I should wear them more…)


    @VenessaHunt Hey Ness. I’m trying to remember the name of that annual report people used to send ’round with stats on mobile usage, etc…


    @VenessaHunt Was it the AIMIA one? Is that what I’m thinking of? I figured you’re the best person to ask… 🙂


    @VenessaHunt Awesome. Thank you!


    RT @JennaPrice: I am woman, hear me roar, in numbers too big to ignore. #destroythejoint #iamwoman


    I’ve known @JennaPrice was awesome for years. So proud that now everybody is learning it too. #destroythejoint

    Got fabric to fix existing dress… plus make one more. I have officially crossed the line into Stash territory


    @stufromoz It was a good thing I didn’t. Ended up quite ill in my stomach. Something didn’t agree with me. 🙁


    @drkknits @knitterjp Now have material for at least 6 dresses and a couple skirts. Eep!


    If, like @drkknits, you are getting into sewing, I highly recommend the Sew Weekly http://t.co/8SErjNTs for inspiration!


    @drkknits @GeorgieKnits Me too. I suspect Pinterest could be a major time suck, so I’ve avoided!


    Very cute border print – I think this one will be a Hazel! (How’s yours going, @zephyrama?)


    Shirring is awesome. http://t.co/clbCUREO


    New dress nearly finished! Just need to hem and finish armholes. http://t.co/Q1V8s0La


    @drkknits @RoseRed_Shoes Fit is better than expected. Slightly bodgy around “U”, but not too bad. How long should the skirt be, you think?


    @drkknits @RoseRed_Shoes I lengthened pattern 3 inches as it said above the knee for “normal people”. 🙂


    I am such a freakin’ hipster, but I think I might have to buy these wooden owl cross stitch frames and make a necklace. http://t.co/LmQ6ny3Q


    Washi Dress is finished! Hemmed to above the knee, because I am a hoochie-mama. Also, POCKETS! Very happy with this. http://t.co/aZeI5dKG


    @knitdra Very cute!


    @drkknits How very Dear Mr. Henshaw of you.


    @drkknits Yep, it’s one of my faves. Just reminded me of it, because Leigh uses letters as a prompt to work things out in his life.


    @drkknits I went to this one while I was there. Very nice! http://t.co/O6wQRzgq


    Just discovered that @kunaal84 “never really got into Battlestar Galactica.” o_O What say you, @drkknits?

  • Gourd Candles

    It’s decorative gourd season, motherf*ckers! Well, in the Northern Hemisphere anyway. Why not turn them into candles?
