I'd love to learn to crochet, if you have any favorite videos or tutorials or anything. I can knit a little bit, but only know one stitch and all I can make is scarves and potholders. :D I'd really like to be able to make hats and things... I want a cool hat with earflaps but I don't want to pay $40 at the local outfitter. Sal had sent me an *awesome* one and my lack of useful knowledge struck again... I didn't realize wool would shrink in the dryer. :( It no longer fit on my head so I gave it to the goodwill. Curses!

I really like the idea of choosing 10 kinds of food... I was thinking I might join the local CSA next summer so I'll have to come up with something to do with each of the boxes of mystery foods that they send out, but I haven't been crazy about the freshness of their produce, so I probably won't do it. It is cool that they work their fields by horsepower though; it's the same place that I posted pictures from a few days ago with the horses in the pumpkin patch.

Definitely planning to build some basic furniture... that site I linked to, ana-white.com, formerly Knock-Off Wood, has great plans and instructions for building really cool stuff. I might see if the owner of our house would be agreeable to me building sort of an organizer into my closet, because currently I have some wire shelves and I'm afraid that they're going to collapse under the weight of my clothes. :D
