    It has photos of Baby's First DNA Model and other stuff. Wonderful!
  2. Puck Stopper from Canada writes: There is a word that describes all this nerdcraft - kitsch!
  3. Bored Worker from Woodstock, Canada writes: AWSOME!! I so want baby's first DNA model for my first child!
  4. Janis Miller from Canada writes: My friend has knit ipod "pockets" for herself and some friends. A crafty way to carry your ipod.
  5. Ursula Seawitch from Canada writes: Is this a trend? We are the ultimate geek family and have also knitted phone holders and quilted remote organizer. I have to find a pattern for that QBert Quilt!
  6. C C from Canada writes: Where are the D&G retainer cases?
