The Exciting World of Crochet Collides with Gaming - Wii Kniittiing

Filed under: Accessories, Style in the News, Must Haves

a screen shot for upcoming wii KniittiingOK, knitting fanatics, here is your Olympic sport. It's a video game being produced for your Wii console that actually makes knitting look like an fun hobby for people with a normal entertainment quotient. That's right, we're saying that knitting is boring. Or, actually, we're saying it's not boring anymore. Whatever. If you've been looking for a chance to knit competitively and yet not produce any socks or scarves -- this game is for you.

You may want to hold back some of your outpouring of enthusiasm, since there doesn't appear to be any concrete release date for this game. We can imagine that developing a game that's predicated on the art of knitting is time consuming -- and certainly hard to market to potential distributors.For those who were hoping that this game would teach you to actually knit articles of clothing, we're thinking: fat chance. It probably prepares you to knit a garment as well as Guitar Hero trains you to play Ace of Spades. Still, it's pretty neato.

Unfortunately, "paper" doesn't always mean "post-its", which tend to become part of the clutter it originally set out to sort out. One very stylish and sophisticated item that has done wonders for people all over the world is the Moleskine notebook. Moleskines come in a variety of sizes and types, from small to big to sketchbooks to address books. They're black and compact and, best of all, always lie completely flat when you open them up. No annoying curve in the middle! Also, there's a little pocket on the inside back cover for any loose notes. Sometimes having a pretty notebook is just enough of a motivation to get organized. Common Moleskine users are generally the artsy hipster types and are easily identifiable by their constant ravings about how much they love their notebooks.
