Friday afternoon beer, brought to you by the great nation of India. Thanks Baddam!
Woot, my knee-jerk don’t-overthink-it pub-quiz answer was Iran which seems to be [✓]. I ‘knew’ it was more populous than…

Another Tova Top
Another Tova Top
I made myself another shirt! It’s an altered Tova in cotton eyelet. Very happy with it!
So this is my second Tova top. The fabric is just some cotton eyelet I picked up at Lincraft a while back. The first one I made had some sizing issues that I tried to correct this time. I added an inch to the center back and top front pieces, and I flared out the bottom a bit too to give some more room around the hips. I also chopped the sleeves off at the elbows. (I forgot to add an inch to the bottom front piece, which means that this one isn’t as gathered at the bust line. That turned out okay, though.) This one definitely fits better through the bust now, but I still feel like my shoulders are constricted when I hold my arms out in front. Could that be the sleeve depth? Should I try and alter that next time? I’ll probably make at least one more so I can keep practicing. It’s a nice blouse to wear to work as well…

Ow. Anesthetic has worn off, and now my knee feels like it’s been hammered and stuck with needles (which it has).
Oh Internet, you are the Best. Thing. Ever. http://t.co/i5Nd9xNN (I wouldn’t vote for him even if he did a Chicken Dance.)
Saw some ladies in gorgeous vintage dresses just now in the Rocks. I think @mrs_sockvictim’s show must be filming nearby again!
@mrs_sockvictim Are you in the neighbourhood then? *waves out the window* 🙂
@sthcrft Having taught some older people about the Internet at Knitters Guild meetings — Yes. That’s exactly what they think.
I will admit to being a foodie hipster wanker. http://t.co/OFaKnNMI But I submit to you that no one, ever, has used the term “foochebag.”
@stringy I use Balsamiq mockups. Love it! You can do simple prototypes, but it’s not as interactive as something like Axure.
Gnawing on a turkey leg at my desk, just like our caveman ancestors used to do. @ Sitback Solutions http://t.co/n5N2iYRG
@redambition Yep. They needed them for carving websites into rocks!
@drkknits @redambition All the caveman hipsters were instagramming their lunches. “TOTES WOOLLY MAMMOTH, LOL.”
@rainnwilson They had curling irons before electricity. You had to put them in the fire. There’s a scene with one in “Little Women.”
@drkknits Not for weeks yet! You’ve got to pace your excitement. 🙂
@RoseRed_Shoes @drkknits @the_snook DAMMIT. I HADN’T TOLD HIM YET.
Congratulations @avechoco and welcome to baby Mitchell!!!!!
@knitterjp No knitting for me tonight. Stupid knee. I’m really limping. Going to head home and drink some medicinal wine, I think.
@drkknits At my house, we have the type that comes in a box. I’d claim it was “hipster authenticity,” but really we’re just frugal drunks.
WTF. Too bad I never registered with the Consulate. From now on, I’m Canadian, eh?! http://t.co/C1sDBUQP
@witty_knitter @redambition Just updated mine, no dramas. Did it via iTunes though, as I didn’t have space to do over-the-air.
Sneak peek at the sewing project I just finished! I’m going to wear it to work tomorrow… http://t.co/kbOkUxPg
@GOGET Have you been hacked? Got a dodgy DM from your account…
@randomknits Yep, still trying to get the sizing right. I’ll probably make at least one more. 🙂
@codepo8 Huh. I didn’t realise that ginger males suffered the stereotype of being feisty and firey as well.

Foochebag? NO. Just no.
“Foodies are the new hipsters” – That’s fine. I’ll admit to being a foodie hipster wanker; guilty as charged there. But I adamantly deny that anyone anywhere has actually used the term “foochebag.” Just – no.

@mobilephone_au I don’t think a veneer of “charity” really distracts us from the cynical marketing ploy aspect.
@TimBags @kunaal84 I’m so excited for you guys! I hope it lives up to the hype I’ve given it. Take pics of anything interesting!!

@witty_knitter @randomknits Our school had a special program with a nursery so teen moms could finish school. It was sadly popular.
@randomknits @witty_knitter We did have rudimentary sex ed. But our town was boring & some kids didn’t see a way out. Sex was distraction.

@catehstn Yep. Apparently since yesterday. It’s all people from companies trying to cash in on free publicity though.
