I've been so busy trying to keep us with my homework and work on my spoilee's package put together.<br /><br />I was beginning to think that I'd never get out of the library. I was doing an extra credit project for Runes. I was trying to find all the runes for protection on a house or dwelling. The professor thought it would be great project for me since my family has just moved into a new house in a nice muggle community, it's really not that we don't trust muggles it is just better to be safe than sorry.<br /><br />I'm so excited to see my partners package come together. I can't wait to sent the owl off to her, I hope she likes everything I've found for her.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5921508570084612984.post-53651400604270089622009-03-27T02:10:00.003-06:002009-03-28T02:45:10.760-06:00I've been ROAKed!!!!I recieved an awesome ROAK package from <a href="http://hermionebagnold.blogspot.com/">Hermione Bagnold of Ravenclaw</a> yesterday.

She made me promise to bundle up and keep warm and hydrated. My first stop was Zonko's to buy some candy to give to those nasty Slytherin boys that insist on following me around. Then I browsed the Fiber shop looking for the right yarn for the bag for my spoilee, I found a few that I like I just need to find a pattern that they will work with so that I can purchase enough yarn. I spent the end of my visit sipping a cup of warm butter beer at Honey Duke's. I'm strange and like to sit and watch the couples all googly eyed with each other, they can be very entertaining sometimes, especially the boys that don't really want to be there but let the girls brag them there because they have a crush on them. </div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5921508570084612984.post-69157447430846873612009-02-20T09:58:00.000-07:002009-02-22T16:19:53.537-07:00A stay in the hospital wingI'll be staying the weekend in the hospital wing due to a crazy cold.

What momentous event was the reason that the members of the Order of the Phoenix felt it necessary to move Harry out of the Dursley’s house?<br /><em>d. Harry’s upcoming birthday</em><br /><em><br /></em>2. Who revealed the actual date of Harry’s transfer to Voldemort, despite the misinformation the Order had been spreading around that the move would occur on the eve of his actual birthday?<br /><em>b. Snape</em><br /><em></em><br />3. With the use of Polyjuice Potion (and to confuse any possible attack by Death Eaters), six member of the Order were disguised as Harry and escorted out of Privet Drive, along with the real Harry. Which member of the order did not survive that night?<br /><em>a. Mad-Eye Moody</em><br /><em></em><br />4. Who informed Harry, Ron and Hermione of the bequests left to them in Dumbledore’s will?<br /><em>d. Rufus Scimgeour</em><br /><em></em><br />5. During the wedding celebration for Bill and Fleur, Kingley Shacklebolt sent a Patronus to tell the guests that the Ministry had fallen, Scrimgeour (the Minister) was dead and the wedding celebration was about to be attacked by Death Eaters. What form did the Patronus take?<br /><em>a. A lynx</em><br /><br />6. Escaping from the wedding to London, our three friends found themselves confronted by a pair of Death Eaters, disguised as workmen. This close brush impressed on them the need to find someplace to hide. Where did they decide to go?<br /><em>b. Sirius Black’s house<br /></em><br />7. Kreacher’s animosity towards Harry, Ron and especially Hermione (a Mudblood) was well documented in book five, “The Order of the Phoenix.” His initial interaction with them showed that his attitude had not changed. How did they win him over?<br /><em>d. By giving him Regulus Black’s old locket</em><br /><br />8. Who did they eventually find was in possession of the locket/Horcrux?<br /><em>d. Dolores Umbridge</em><br /><br />9. What did Harry find embedded in the door of Umbrdige’s office?<br /><em>a. Moody’s magical eye</em><br /><br />10. After retrieving the Horcrux, they tried to return to their safe place but they were pursued (actually Yaxley tagged along when they disapparated). This meant that the Death Eaters knew their hiding place and they had to go somewhere else. Where did Hermione take them?<br /><em>d.

I went to the library in search of books with simple instructions. Well that didn't go to well since I'm a need to see in action kind of person. So I did a search for videos on the internet. Knittinghelp.com saved my sanity and I actually learned from watching the videos.<br /><br />My first knitting project...eeek I can't remember. *rumages in her trunk mubbling I know I put a remembral for that subject in her somewhere* Ah yes. My first project sadly was just a basic seed stitch wash rag.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5921508570084612984.post-67723844026210092582009-02-08T15:36:00.003-07:002009-02-08T15:50:31.272-07:00Reducio Round 4I recieved and awesome package from Allitrya Flitwick. I love the tiny sock and bookmark scarf. The tiny snowy owl is so cute. I can't wait to knit up a tiny sock with the mini skien of Sunshine Yarn in Pheonix. The stitchmarker are great too, lots of unique beads. And last but not least is the bar of chocolate, the package is so pretty I don't want to open it to eat it...lol.

While browsing the thread for Huffles HLBOE thread I noticed that they were talking about the dreaded second sock. Kaae linked to a article on knitty.com that shows you how to knit both socks at the same time. I browsed it and thought there is no way my over worked brain will be able to handle that. But it has been bugging me, I've only made one pair of sock because I finished the first rather quickly and took over a month to finish the second (and now the whole pair is mia...grrr). So since I wasn't having my luck getting to sleep I decided to take out the yarn and needles and give it a try...one try never hurts right. Well...It turns out that it so much easier than it look, I cheated on the casting on (I think this is what made me think I couldn't do it) and I now have on my mini Huffle socks on my needles.<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5268058459866300690" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 298px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZ6sO-MAt-o4NjGbWBG8xGzZKdSJLEM46fnnDriRameNXTWbk2bt_U9m58Q8vvMsSAiYbbn-7uKlEJ4RnO0RB1_lkFfslByU62AyK8i5gYQACByFBixbvt4l52XE-JZOxLwTyGzOWqDmg/s320/doublehuff+black.jpg" border="0" /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5268058469684478162" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 243px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1mTl1QbEZ83SR-r5SasVQ2SJ_HDMlz1OvebNp1KQvYIqd6H_cHtIo1VA-UjwbodZndLr_3dsX675fOsjdXO6yFjWr1O3r6Iiv5iexBTwfXXoNPRPLwnP10hld5urVhwobGbXx5KKaMQ4/s320/doublehuff+yellow.jpg" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5268058476573432242" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 253px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpg-l-6tktIzptwGj9JdG6kmoUpd1HPi2X-ASP2n9pHPfgCm1zkcd8ZzmtigGLwBPY549UsJR32vFcYak0eCjzopbLnrFdvE0TdAqa9uQDSNx6MF6GPnOFPOle9_ddgGeSi7Q0tx6Gylo/s320/doublehuffle.jpg" border="0" />Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1
