Quidditch (task 1). Spin thick and thin cotton. I bought a pack of cotton balls. It was not pretty :) but it was fun.
Charms: Craft something you need now. (I needed this for Elijah)
Detention: Kitchenered the toes on Sept 1. (Detention is for finishing WIP's)
Care of Magical Creatures: Elijah is so cute, but my hands ached from the tight M1R's.
Herbology: Bloom took the most time, but I love it heaps :)
Quidditch (Yule Ball): Paired up with Mediaperuana (on Ravelry) and we each made these booties
Muggle Studies: Knit for a charity. 20x20cm garter stitch squares.
Div: Didn't much like spinning with angora and 'glitz'.
Astronomy: toilet roll holder. The flowers lift up like a lid. Fun.
At the moment I'm working on
Detention (WIP's). I started a hat a few hours before the official start of October.
OWL. I've done 4 pattern repeats of the cable now. Jumpers take forever!
Potions. I don't have to do it this month, but it was kind of easy and fun. I'm washing some fleece.
BROOM (Order of the Phoenix Mission). Woven scarf number 1 (of 10)
and I'm thinking about how to fit Poppy and Tiny Shoes and spinning into classes about Icelandic Staves, Animagi and Fractals (That's Ancient Runes, Transfiguration and Arithmancy). I might have to get creative. I'm also trying to figure out what to do for Quidditch. I want to make a felted Kindle cover, but I don't know quite how to relate it to the goal of "make something to represent Charlie Weasley".
This month is a Thinker, that's for sure.
Knit Night tonight! I'm taking my OWL and working on the 5th cable repeat. I think I need to do 7 or 8, and I have to finish the body by the end of the month. Work work work.
You could make your kindle cover with a fire or dragon pattern. Or maybe a singed and seared look. (Close call.) Or with scaley pattern.
ReplyDeleteI like reading how you make things relate. And your shrewdness like starting something just before the new month so you can claim it as detention. Ha ha.
I was going to wash some fleece for Potions, spin it for Ancient Runes, and knit and felt it for Quidditch. But Task 2 has to be done by the 15th... I wonder if I could dye a picture into it after it's felted? Handpainted flames or something...
ReplyDeleteYou probably could. Would be interesting to try. If it ends up wierd just claim it's fireproof. ^^
ReplyDeleteI don't know how you get so much done, I bow to your superior skillz!
