A few of my friends are very good with knitting. Well, I do admit that I attempted to knit before but I never had a proper teacher so my knots are always loose and I end up with something that is good to look at but can’t really wear or use because it could unravel at any time.

A friend offered to teach me but I do not have the time to play with yarns, needles and patterns and neither do at I have patience at this point in my life. However, when I chanced upon this site, Yarn Forward, I thought I would feature it on my blog.

Yarn Forward provides free downloadable patterns for people who love to knit or just learning to knit. They do have a few patterns that they say are good for beginners but they do look pretty complex to me!

Well, check out Yarn Forward to see if there is any pattern that you could use. Maybe you can start a new knitting project from their patterns.

Win Prince Caspian Soundtrack & Paperback

Leave a reply

Everyone around me is talking about Prince Caspian this, Narnia that. To be frank, I have no idea what the storyline is, let alone how good this movie is. Heh.. I know, I am behind time but then movies are at the bottom of my priority list right now!

Anyway, just now I stumbled upon this contest and I thought that it would be perfect for all fans of this Prince Caspian.

Tracksounds.com is running a movie caption contest so if you would like to participate and get a shot at the Prince Caspian soundtrack (CD, I guess) and the paperback book, you have to caption a scene provided from the film. This sounds pretty tough but if your entry is adjudged the best, then you win. That’s all there is to it.

This movie caption contest is only open to US residents so BAH! Anyway, caption contests are not my forte. Hehe!

If you are a regular reader of my other freebie blog, I am sure you will know that I spend a considerable amount of time online searching for free web graphics. I have to say that I really take my hat off to these people who offer free graphics, clip arts, fonts, animations, buttons, web layouts, backgrounds and what-not because of their creativity and they are doing it for free.

I mean, they could easily sell them and people would buy because they are so nice. But me, I am a cheapo and will only keep looking for free stuff. Well, with twenty websites and blogs and counting, free is the keyword here.

Today, I chanced upon a whole database of free web graphics so kindly being offered for free by Scream Design. Everybody, scream for free freebies and they herd us, I guess. Anyway, if free web graphics, themes, layouts, sounds, flash, etc, are what you have been looking for, check out these freebies from Scream Designs. You will need to register with them in order to gain access, through. But that’s not a big problem, is it?

The Dark Knight [2008]

Leave a reply

I know that many people are eagerly looking forward to the opening of The Dark Knight, mainly because it stars the late Heath Ledger, who was propelled into stardom by his portrayal of a homosexual cowboy in Brokeback Mountain. This is the last movie from him and movie fans know that if they do not watch this, they will never ever get to watch Heath Ledger anymore. And I have insider news that Heath Ledger, as Joker, did an even more amazing job than Jack Nicholson in Batman Begins. So yes, if you do not know yet, The Dark Knight is a sequel to Batman Begins.

I tell you, as a movie buff myself, I am already checking out The Dark Knight movie times, so that I can clear my calendar and go watch this at its first run. I definitely will not be missing this; not because of Heath Ledger, though, but for Christian Bale, the Batman! I have watched so many Christian Bale movies but I can’t seem to get enough of him. He is just an amazing actor!

I am also eager to watch Maggie Gyllenhaal as Rachel Dawes and see how well she compares to Katie Holmes who did very well in Batman Begins too.

Oh, by the way, The Dark Knight will open on 18th July, 2008, so, we’ll see you at the cinemas! Meanwhile, go check out synopsis, movie times, fan reviews, movie photos and trailer from Fandango!

If you are a semi-professional blogger, I believe you would appreciate a business card so that you could get your blogs out to more people. When more people know about your blogs, you will get higher traffic and so on.

And for people like my friends who have tens of blogs to their names, they definitely NEED a business card to list out their blogs. Heck, even they themselves do not remember their own URLs. hehe

OOPrint.com is giving away 100 free business cards and blogger business cards. Right now, they have 33 preset layouts which we can use for free. To get your own free business cards or free blogger cards, you would have to select your preferred design and then fill out your name and other relevant information.

These cards are free but you would have to pay for shipping, but that’s better than nothing. Heehee!

Zippo is a highly popular lighter brand name that even a non-smoker like me knows. What makes Zippo so popular, I do not know, though. Is it the design? Is it the material? Is it because it’s windproof? I don’t know but I do know that there are people who are crazy enough about Zippo to collect them! While some of us collect stamps, coins or QSL cards, there are others who collect Zippo lighters LOL

Zippo is giving away four free lighters every month until 2010 for promotional purposes. Each Zippo lighter that is given away will be engraved with a web address that everyone could see when you take your Zippo lighter out.

So how do you win a free Zippo lighter? Just submit a form at their website with your valid particulars and wait for the announcement of four winners per month! Do you want a free Zippo lighter? If you do, GOOD LUCK!
