Dial S for Skyrim

Hello, Crafty and Sundry! Sorry y’all, I went quiet for a bit there. I was tinkering with the meds I take to keep my Bipolar Disorder in order (insert rimshot here), and I sort of lost a month of being able to word or do much. Whups.   That Knitter LifeSettings However, I was totally …

The Cardigan is Done (And Onward we Run)

Hello, crafty and sundry! I swear, one day I will stop with the cutesy rhyming titles. That day is obviously not today so… nyah nyah? 😀   But yes, I had the pleasure of finishing my cardigan off Tuesday night, just in time to show off at my Stitch ‘n Bitch group yesterday. I’m always …

It’s a Good Weekend for Gamer Me!

Hello, crafty and sundry! This one is mainly for the gamer sorts, hee hee. In the past week or so, I have gotten massively hooked on the Tropico franchise. I’ve had 3 and 4 for awhile, but hadn’t really given it a good go. I’d poked at 3 briefly some months back, but the tutorials …

Oooh, Shiny — Shiny Pokémon!

Hello, crafty and sundry! Yes, my Pokémon addiction continues to run amok. We even walked into town over the weekend so that I could pick up some codes for Shiny Charizards and Darkrais from our local Game store. I also found Black and Black 2 for a price comparable to what I would have paid …

Can’t Knit, Too Many Pokémon

Hello, Crafty and Sundry! One thing that is a constant source of amusement to me is the misconception that Pokémon is a game for children only. Yes, it’s cartoonish and cute, and nobody actually dies… but the first game came out in the late 1990s. Which means some of us have been playing the franchise …
