I just love the CRAFT magazine newsletter. I see the most interesting works.
Here is my favorite of the latest. I'll need to try this sometime.

Tips and Technique
The "Proselytize Knitting" Badge - I often knit if public places. And I am decidedly not hip!
MacGyver Badge (Level One) - I've used the following as stitch markers: rubber band, paper clip, hair tie; I've cut yarn with nail clippers;
MacGyver Badge (Level Two) - I've used a lighted knitting needle as a flashlight and a knitting needle as a hair pin (it keeps a french twist in place in a pinch). I'm sure there are other times. I just can't think of them!
"I Will Impress You With My Math Prowess" Badge - Well, I'm not a math wiz, but I can substitue yarns without a reference guide, I can space increases and decreases evenly and even use math in my knitting projects. So, there.
Knitting Whilst Under the Influence Badge - Yes, I have knitted while drinking a wine cooler. Shame on me.
Knitting Has Forced Me to Seek Medical Attention Badge (Level One) - Okay, maybe this one hasn't been completely earned, but I've come close. While I haven't been to a doctor, I have the beginnings of Carpal Tunnel in both wrists from knitting & crocheting. I've received blisters, pin/needle pricks, lacerations from my knitting needles, bruises, stiff neck & shoulders. Not to mention that all that sitting hasn't helped my weight or the early stages of fibro!
Inordinately Fond of Novelty Yarn Badge - Oooh, fuzzy yarn! I love it! Sueded, sparkly, bumpy, lumpy, stretchy - fun, fun, fun!
The sorting hat says that I belong in Hufflepuff!
Said Hufflepuff, "I'll teach the lot, and treat them just the same."
Hufflepuff students are friendly, fair-minded, modest, and hard-working. A well-known member was Cedric Digory, who represented Hogwarts in the most recent Triwizard Tournament.
