my yarn SQUEE!

hello all! i just wanted to say that my yarn is on the way. i got to collaborate, with the girl who is dying my yarn, on the color palate and that was pretty fun. My partner is Perenelle Pettigrew and she said that she didn't have a preference as to weather her socks were house colors or character inspired colors so i had quite a bit of freedom. i absolutley can NOT wait to see how it comes out. i also get really excited to see how it knits up because i can never look at a ball of yarn and be able to tell what it will look like knitted. its always a surprise to me. i am glad to see that others are getting their yarn and getting going as well. this is all so exciting.

Jane, hi! I'm excited too. I'm afraid you're much farther along than I am, as everything is all still in my head :) This is my first swap ever too. It's already fun :D

How do we contact?

How do we contact a Head Girl?

I'd like to 'speak' to the Head Girl for Slytherin, but I find no way to do so.

I can be contacted at ladyfelula@yahoo.com or staarrkatt@yahoo.com.

Thank you.

Lady Felula

Go Hufflepuff

ATTENION HUFFLEPUFFS!

I am your prefect for this term. Be prepared for fun,fun and more fun.

The first house quiz will start Monday 11th.

It has begun!!

So I've taken on the challenge of being prefect for the Slytherin House and I'm excited. This is my 3rd yr. and my second yr. as a Slytherin. There was a slight mix up my first year and I was placed in Ravenclaw. I do have a lot of qualities that would make the sorting hat put me there, but I'm finding more and more I feel at home in Slytherin.

This term I am knitting for Belladonna Boomslang of Gryffindor. Farting Flooberworms thia is my third term knitting for a Gryffindor when will it end! The yarn for Bella's socks are drying as I type, they are being dyed by a really awesome dyer who I will name much later in the swap that I've had the pleasure of getting to know. I've been in touch with Bella and having fun getting to know her. Oh and if you are reading this, check out the teaser that I put up for Ms. Boomslang on my blog.

Sock Yarn

Just got back from vacation and am on a mission to find the perfect Harry Potter sock yarn. There is so much out there to choose from! I'm enjoying this!!

I ordered the yarn for Neila's socks! I'd do a "happy happy joy joy dance" but the vertigo would make me hurl! LOL dizzy blond Grandma

Hello Sandie! This is my first swap ever and I am very excited! I've ordered some really nice yarn that I hope you are going to love. I've also ordered stitch markers so I feel like I've gotten a good start on your package!

So . . . our partners aren't secrets but we won't be posting pics of our progress, right?

Yarn is on its way for sock-making!

Hi all. I'm happy to report my yarn is on its way, and seeing as the person who dyes it lives close, I should have it by the end of the week. With a couple of new spells, I'm hoping these socks will be finished in record time.

Grandma is truly loopy

Hey all! I have vertigo! that's the bad news. I think I found the yarn I want to use for the socks! Good news.

Now to get the daughter to order it for me 'cause typing makes me sea sick right now! LOL

I'll update as soon as I get cast on. Knitting with vertigo, hmmm, this could be funny! Grandma

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.

And a cute picture of a cute little wizard to get us all in the Hogwarts mood!



Poor thing is in desperate need of a Gryffindor tie. I have a pattern to sew the tie but have yet to find suitable fabric. Perhaps I will have to finally knit him one instead.

I get to post first!

What's green and furry and headed for my partner?

Don't know? Sorry, can't tell!
