Gaming & Crocheting

I made a pretty new dice bag for myself during our D&D game last night. Well..I didn't quite finish it, I'm still working on the drawstrings.

I got turned onto the idea of crocheting while gaming by a friend of mine who games with us on Fridays. She made her husband the coolest dice bag shaped like a d4. She also told me about www.raverly.com. The website is a community of crochets and knitters. You can get free patterns, post your projects, see other projects, and post in an amazing number of forum groups . So far I've joined groups. rpg gamers, cloth diaper moms. And I got the pattern for the dice bag form the website to.

As soon as I finish up my bag, I'll be moving on to a bag for my husband.

New D&D Group

I went to my first D&D game (yes, Dungeons & Dragons, I said I was a geek) last night with a group my husband hooked up with at work. The husband and I played in high school and decided a few weeks it would be a fun hobby to pickup again, since then we've been playing with some friends who had never played before. Since my experience is minimal and from a long time and 2 editions ago it was nice to play with guys who really know how the system works.

I'm very excited that we talked the group into meeting at our place from now on. There was no way we could afford to pay a babysitter for 6-7 hours once a week. I included a promise of some home cooked dinners on game night, I think that helped.
