crochet crazy

A few months back I found this great crochet site, crochet me. It has lots of fun and funky patterns, which I can't always seem to get to work quite right, but they still provide me with inspiration. Remember the star pillow & blanket?(Which I forgot to take a finished picture of!) I love this site, since it is all crochet and most cool things seem to be made by knitting. Personally, I have NO SKILLS in that department.

Looking for something to buy me?? It won't be available until October but it looks like they are putting together a Crochet Me book...COOL!

I think I'm going to try and make this mesh bag...


I'm not super keen on the pocket...BUT the bag folds up and fits into it - I like that!

And this apron would be so cute and cool...



But I'd have to buy a bunch of wool and I'm definitley too cheap to buy 9 balls of hemp wool at $15 a pop...If I do make it, it will be made of cheap wool for sure.

We'll see where the inspiration takes me...

Scrabulous

And so I decided to proceed with my procastination fodder theme and went to look up online scrabble. This isn't where I've played before, but it seems to be fairly similar.

You don't need a login to play via email - you simply enter your name and email and that of a friend you would like to play. Then you make your first move and a message is sent to your friend asking them to make their move.

We'll see if my friend is down...I'm pretty sure she will be...and I'm even more certain that she is going to kick my ass - I have a big vocabulary, but I have a sneaky suspision hers is even bigger!

Check it out!

sudoku

Have you been suckered into sudoku yet?

I bought a pocket sized book last summer, and for months it was my friend on the bus, as I learned to quell the queaziness I get from the constant stop and go of public transit.

There are people at work who photocopy puzzles from 24 and then compete to see who can finish them the fastest. This is serious business, they keep track of who has won so they can tease each other relentlessly.

A friend just gave me this link to play online. What's cool is that the program times you as you work on the puzzle and then allows you to "Challenge a friend". I haven't used this yet as I want to get a good time before sending it to my well practiced work mates, but I assume they send it to a friend and then tell you who finished it in less time.

Join the crowd - waste your day away - play Sudoku!

...I used to play email scrabble with a friend too...I think I'll go look for that now.
