As far as blogs go, they don’t get much more special-interest than this blog devoted to video game inspired crafts: Sprite Stitch. I’d be tempted by the Space Invaders Guitar Strap if I still did cross stitch.

Two weeks ago, I mentioned that I would knit this Möbius scarf if I were a knitter. The accomplished fiber artist at Catena Expressions asked me my favorite color. Last night, the scarf arrived in the mail. It is so cool. The wool / silk blend is not at all scratchy feeling. She expressed a concern that it might be too large, but it fits comfortably over the head and will fill in a jacket neckline very well.
