Hogsmead Weekend

Madame Pomfrey was kind enough to see to it that my illness didn't keep me away from the first visit to Hogsmead. 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.

A stay in the hospital wing

I'll be staying the weekend in the hospital wing due to a crazy cold. I fell like I've been beaten by the whomping willow. I hope that after the weekend I'll feel well enough to catch up on what I've been missing around the castle.

Hufflepuff House Quiz #1

When did you first learn to knit - who taught you, how did you learn, what was your first project?
I first learned to knit about 6 years ago after finding that not very many people liked the way crocheted items looked. 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.

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.

Reducio Round 4

I 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. The picture really doesn't do the items justice but it is the best my friend phone camera could do.
