great big Ravenclaw socks

I finished a pair of Ravenclaw socks for DH over the weekend. He's a men's size 13, hence the post title. I'm so glad they're done! His birthday is in a week so the socks are like an early gift. I'll probably make myself a matching pair sometime.

Vicoden and Harry Potter

Had to go to the emergency room with half my face swollen two days ago. Turns out the vertigo is from an abscessed tooth.

Vicoden, Motrin and a long sterile needle later, (I can't take antibiotics), I feel much better and plan on casting on Monday. (the grand-children will be in school, peace, quiet! LOL)

One good thing from the fever and then the stoned 1st night, I dreamed the perfect stitch markers for a Ravenclaw and saw them being used with two very cute knitting needles for a person with a patronis which is an owl. LOL Grandma
