    Time to be awesome.


    @lemon_lime Half day client demo and training session on a project that’s been kicking my ass.


    Lessons from client training: The things you worry will be a problem never are. The stuff you thought was fine always becomes an issue.


    @drkknits Thanks. I survived. And no pretzels as a crutch, either!


    Dude. Like 10x I’ve seen pretty girls get on a pre-pay bus without a ticket, act confused and bat their eyes, and score a free ride. FFS.


    Love is: a husband cooking you dinner after a looong day at work, despite the fact that new World of Warcraft expansion launched 2hrs ago…


    Wine did the trick. Finally a decent sleep.


    @drkknits That sucks. Hang in there…


    @jannism I say them correctly, goddamit!


    @laimelde WHERE DID YOU GET IT? I see it in lots of paleo recipes but had no idea of an Australia source…

    Mr Snook says this will keep me safe should there be any anti-American protests while he's away.

    @missamanda Huh? Sydney looks lovely outside. I can see the harbour from here. Pretty as a postcard. 🙂

    Second night of less than 6 hrs sleep. I feel ragged.

    Anybody know of an online radio stream for the Notre Dame-Michigan game? I can’t find ANY that I can access. 🙁


    SONOFA. This is why Hermione doesn’t knit lace. Commence jokes now… http://t.co/kaAqMwdI


    @Alegrya Took me more than an hour to tink it back.


    @drkknits Fixed now. Lace is just my NEMESIS.


    I DID IT AGAIN. WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH ME.


    @knitterjp @drkknits This is only a 2 row pattern. I’d have to lifeline every other row! It’s just me being stupid.


    @drkknits Heh. Read that yesterday on Flipboard. LOVE HER. (Did I ever tell you I saw her in 7th grade at Disney World?)


    Predictions of insomnia are sadly self-fulfilling. *yawn* I hate today.


    @JennaPrice If you have an iPhone, there’s a great app called Consume that does it. You can also track in Settings -> General -> Usage.


    @lemon_lime This is why an Australian passport is a very good thing to have. 🙂

    Just heard the band playing the touchdown gig for the first time in about a decade. And suddenly I flashed back to senior year in 1998, dancing in the stadium with my friends as the Irish defeated the #1 ranked Michigan. We stormed the field. We hugged each other on the 40 yard line. It was joyous. I remember the jubilant run back the dorms afterwards. I remember people splashing in Stonehenge afterwards. I called my Dad, unable to articulate how amazing it had been. That was one of the most memorable days in all four years at ND.

    Sometimes I feel very far from home, and I’m jealous of you guys who get to visit campus regularly.

    @randomknits Thanks. Still having a fit issue with armholes. Think I need to make them deeper. Any good link suggestions for that?


    @randomknits Well, when I hold my arms out front there’s pulling along back of armholes. Thought it was shoulder width, but compared to…


    @randomknits …other shirts that fit it’s fine. So now wondering if it’s the arm holes rather than overall garment width.


    @knitterjp @randomknits That’s interesting. I added width to back & front this time, but didn’t touch armholes at all.


    @knitterjp @randomknits Those diagrams make my head hurt. Sleeves are complicated! Might be easier to change my arms. 😀


    @knitterjp @randomknits Heh. Except I’m already grading the pattern up because it’s made for skinny minnies!


    That’s three people in our office now with horrible colds of some sort. I am worried my streak of not being sick all year is going to end…


    @Ascasewwen I found a PDF with a Sorbetto sleeve on it last year. I think it was made by Mena from the Sew Weekly…


    Friday, 3pm. I’m really just hanging around for the beer at this point. MOVE, CLOCK.


    @randomknits WOW! I’ve got one, but it’s hidden and most folks don’t see it unless I show them. 🙂


    @twelveeyes I managed to convert the Snook to the Way of the Cardigan, despite his extreme reluctance. It can be done!


    Just got a marketing email from @GraysOnline… with no obvious way to unsubscribe. *sigh* Isn’t the Spam Act supposed to fix this?


    @randomknits Getting mine was fraught, as my roommate @EileenDCoE was hiding one from her mother. So I had to hide mine too!


    Looks like @the_snook is karmawhoring over on the Reddits again… http://t.co/8RPKyXob


    Friday afternoon beer, brought to you by the great nation of India. Thanks Baddam! @ Sitback Solutions http://t.co/HCRptvpF


    @drkknits @smark31 @knitterjp And @kunaal84 is actually at the match! Keep your eyes peeled for the Indian dude in the stands. 🙂
