RoboGames: Olympics for the circuit board crowd!

Wish I could have made it out to RoboGames 2009 in San Francisco June 12-14 this year. Looks like it was a lot of geeky fun! Now that's an Olympics I could compete in! (maybe...)

Take a peek at this documentary from the RoboGames site. Best quote "Anytime you get geeks thinking in mass, you get societal benefits from that."

Kerchief done, end-sewing commences


Finished the kerchief. Not sure I love how it looks on me, but it does keep the hair out of my face. I ended up knitting "between" sizes, and it came out a bit too big. So, I single crocheted through two layers of the band to tighten it up.

Want to try it again with a more springy yarn than the Debbie Bliss Cotton Cashmere I used. Overall, a fun, fast pattern.

Have the tab button jacket all sewn together, just need to tuck in all of the ends (how can there be so many!) and sew the pockets and button. Soooooo close!
