    @drkknits I was waiting to hear your reaction. The next eps only get MORE TENSE. 🙂


    Ooh, Easter Show Schedule is out! Let’s see if the knitting categories changed.


    @drkknits Did you get to “Bitch took my ride” yet? I love Starbuck.


    @drkknits Also, Anders. Beautiful Samuel T. Anders is coming your way.


    STRANDED KNITTING! THICK LACE OF NON-DETERMINANT FIBER CONTENT! WE ARE THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS, PEOPLE!


    @drkknits Hahaha, yeah, she’s really bad in those first few eps of season 2.


    @drkknits I really, really want you to wait to watch the start of season 3 with me, by the way. They’re my favourites.


    @drkknits @mrs_sockvictim It’s definitely frack. 🙂


    It’s the kind of night where I’m missing @the_snook quite badly. Still at work, lots to do, really stressed out. He always talks me down.


    @drkknits Look what just got posted: http://t.co/sBwyfSYK


    Wanted to go to Stitch and Bitch. Still at work. #fml


    @goldfishgeorge Nobody knows! The Guild have made “suggestions” to them in recent years, and some of them have been adopted.


    Home. Wine. Kitty cat cuddles and a little cry. Back to work.


    Yummy frozen dinner prepared by Past Kristy has cheered me right up. Thanks, Past Kristy!


    @lemon_lime Not sure yet. Client training session from 2-5 is occupying all thoughts.


    @indefensible And here I thought I was the only one who liked that movie.

    @RoseRed_Shoes It does not. And thanks to you, when I put it on this morning I thought, “DAMN. WOULD BE BETTER WITH POCKETS.”


    @imdominating It’s from Target! And it had a torn seam, so I even haggled a discount and then fixed it MAH-SELF. #pioneerwoman


    @redambition Tweetbot still supports posterous. I like Tweetbot.


    @drkknits Interesting. Downside of buying material intended for making drapes, I guess. I’d turn it.


    Lincraft has 40% off dress fabrics this week? Okay. I guess I’m swinging by after work.


    @drkknits Are you doing overcasting? Or is that straight stitch plus zigzag?


    @drkknits Usually you’d have some space of seam allowance. I sew my straight seems 3/8 or 5/8″ inch in. Then zigzag right on the edge.


    RT @richbuggy: Hey @barryofarrell, we voted for you *not* Greiner. More roads only encourage more cars. Spend the money on public transport.


    @drkknits Good grief, you’re cranking them out already!


    @drkknits Looks great! So elastic waist, but not as full as the previous one?


    I hit the Lincraft sale. It appears I will be sewing some red dresses. http://t.co/RWx7uN0o


    @drkknits SO SAY WE ALL!


    @RoseRed_Shoes I even have an actual pattern in mind for each of them! And I bought tailor’s chalk! I FEEL TOTES PROFESH.


    @zephyrama Ooh, synchronicity! One of my red fabrics will be a Hazel. I think @randomknits bought the pattern…


    Ugh. Gods, Callie sucks. #bsg

    Had a lovely weekend with @drkknits as a houseguest, but now I’m officially a Single Crazy Cat Lady for the next fortnight.


    @drkknits YAY, SEWING MACHINE TIME.


    Thinking about trying to find a BA mentor in Sydney. How do you make that connection? Anybody got suggestions? (cc @brown_note)


    @knitterjp @brown_note I haven’t – not familiar with that! What is it?


    @drkknits Can you look for some tailor’s chalk for me? Either triangles or rectangles, I don’t care. http://t.co/rWgPdy2z


    @drkknits @randomknits @RoseRed_Shoes That looks almost exactly like my Janome. I almost wonder if it’s a rebadge?


    @drkknits @randomknits @RoseRed_Shoes Ahhh, not quite. Mine has three knobs at top: http://t.co/a8SLem0k


    RT @redambition: I really, really want this sewing machine. It’s gorgeous! http://t.co/v83BIacc // ME TOO! Saw it last week. (cc @drkknits)


    @zephyrama @redambition Really? Not metal? Crud.


    @drkknits Are you manic? PACE YOURSELF, WOMAN! 😛


    @richbuggy That’s not actually true, by the way. http://t.co/ynSg0oUR


    @SassieQ Damn! Too bad @the_snook is overseas for a few weeks. He would’ve been perfect for you. 🙂


    @richbuggy The easy solution to that problem is not putting anything there you would care if others see, really.


    @richbuggy Ahhh, I just block all that @zynga shit. Never see any of them nowadays. NO, I WILL NOT SEND YOU A GODDAMN COW.


    It’s 9:30pm on a Tuesday, and the whole project team is online and working. I do like my team.


    @drkknits You need a cat or two to sleep on your head. That warms you right up.


    Uh, just read “Member Behaviour” section of latest Knitters Guild Convenors Letter. WTF. Now I’m intrigued…


    @RoseRed_Shoes People badmouthing the Guild Exec? Bitching about new processes? Putting off new members? Really weird.


    Survived my first night alone at home. (Well, alone with two cats.)


    They’re taking the window coverings down off Sydney’s first Topshop. How excitement.

    @knitdra @drkknits Yes! And both skirts are here too, and much admired. 🙂

    @knitness Awww, sorry Ness! I didn’t organise, and I was too preoccupied with Snook leaving to check. Will make sure next time!
