Swap question

Does anyone know if there is a Hogwarts Hat/Mitten exchange???

I just got a copy of "Favorite Mittens" by Robin Hansen and the patterns made me think of how many of the movies show winter/yule (esp. Prizoner of Azkaban) and thought .... hmmm, I wonder.

So does anyone know if there is??

uuummmm? can this be right?

i sent this question in an email to nelle but i just read on her blog that she is off campus till monday so i thought id post it here too. this being my first pair of socks i, of course, am second guessing my self the whole way :0). i have about 2 inches done on the ankle part of the sock. it looks awfully small. but i slid it over my foot and my foot is 8.5 around just like nelles is and it slid right on. i am meeting gauge for the pattern. my concern is that it seems a bit small to pull over your heel. you know how its wider there? and dont you hate socks that fit but are really hard to get on? i do. i just feel like if i make them bigger they maybe wont stay up. they arent ribbed the whole way just at the cuff. what do you think? would you keep going or take it out and add a few more stitches? falling down socks arent any better than too tight ones. i dont think they will be too tight on just tight to get over the heel. ok any advise you have to give would be great . thanks guys

yarn and buttons

not that kinda buttons! ok so my house prefect said that if we put the HSS4 button on our blog we get house points for it. i tried clicking them and clicking the thing that says "buttons" but how do i download that picture? sorry i learn as i go with all this computer stuff. thanks to anybody that can help me.

also if you want to see the super super pretty yarn that i got for my pals socks you can go over
here the pic is down at the bottom. so Nelle if you want to be surprized dont go to my blog. although i DID put a buffer zone in the post so if you happen over there you should see it comming and be able to avert your little peepers, but if you go there the temptation might be too great and you will have to peek. but if you want to see it before its socks thats ok too. :0)

aaaaaaaaand i made you the bestest thing EVER today. neener neener neener! im not tell you what it is but i liked it so much they are now on the christmas sweatshop list for all my friends. (christmas sweatshop- named by the hubby due to my over confidence in thinking i can make every person i have ever met a hand made gift and the resulting lack of sleep and tears that follow when i am neck deep in craft supplies with one week left till christmas ordering him to "punch those holes in a straighter line! *whip crack*)

the new layout and header look awesome btw headmistress! *not butt kissing for house points, im just sayin*

blog request

I was wondering if there was a way of getting a list on the side-bar that lists who is which house with links to their blogs? I would love to look at some blogs from other people in my house.

Question about Cross Year Partners

Dear Head Mistress - Just a quick question ... figured I'd post it to the group since I know of at least one other person who might have a simular question.

If we are partnered with someone who is of a different year, do we send a package for our own year or our partner's year?

Thank you for the clarification.
