Looks like a fun new kind of stitch event for crafty folks who love baseball. The SF Giants is hosting their first annual “Stitch n’ Pitch” on July 20th at AT&T park. (Giants vs. San Diego Padres) From the site, “Bring your projects to the game and meet other knitters all while enjoying Giants baseball. Specially priced tickets for Stitch n’ Pitch include your ticket to the game and your own Giants Stitch n’ Pitch tote bag to carry around all your supplies.” Link. (scroll down to July 20)
Check out these instructions for how to to turn an old monitor into a trash can. I use one of these at my office and it gets a lot of compliments from visitors. Fits a standard 13 gallon trash bag.

THIS IS A BAD IDEA UNLESS YOU HATE YOUR CAT (even then it is a horrible idea)
here is the break down of just what you are exposing the cat to. (thank you to national geographic January, 2008):
plastic casing: pvc (containing “highly toxic dioxins”), brominated flame retardants.
the monitor circuit boards: lead(“a neurotoxin”), mercury, and flame retardants
i recommend NOT doing this. especially if you don’t know what kind of monitor you have. CRT, cathode-ray tubes, “in computer monitors and TVs hold up to eight pounds of lead”-National Geographic. recycling is good, just not like this. go to recyclers.
