Monitor Bit the Dust
My monitor bit the dust a few weeks ago and had to replace it. I'm not too keen on LCD Monitors...I have found that the CRT screens are nicer for gaming, but are harder to find. Soooo, I did some research and found an LCD Monitor I liked. The Gateway FHD2401...It looks fantastic!!! weeee 24" widescreen, HD, 1080p. We took a trip to Best Buy and of course had to check it out. We had the clerk hook it up in the store to make sure there wasn't any dead pixels....I would've hated to have to drive 200 miles one way to return it. I found that Best Buy seems to be the place to get good deals and have yet to have a bad experience with them.

I was surfing on Ravelry a few days ago and came across the cutest little bag called Dumpling Bag. Noro Kureyon is the yarn preference.. The Pattern comes from Interweave Knits Fall 2008.

Caps for a Cure
I got a couple more caps finished this month for Caps for a Cure Yahoo Group. I knit caps when I want to knit but, don't feel like picking up any of my wip. Anyway one cap is called Stripe Pixie Knot...made up pattern as I went along. The other is Fruitcake Cap. I have found that Fruitcake Cap seems to be a bit small so if you make it, I would suggest going up one needle size. Click on images to enlarge
