Gryffindor Trivia

Well, for HSKS3 the Gryffindor prefect sent us all a crossword puzzle to answer. I emailed my answers to her just like I'm supposed to. In order to complete my homework, I must post what I thought was the most difficult question. If 11 across- which had no clue- doesn't count, then my answer would have to be 5 down. I really had to think about that one, and then I couldn't believe I didn't get it right away! Can't tell what it is or that would give away the answer! The easiest, even though no one asked me, was 9 down because the answer to that question makes EVERYTHING better- LOL.
I've already done a bit of shopping for the person I get to spoil for this swap, but I'm still trying to think of other Harry-ish things to send along by owl post.

Another Hogwarts Sock Swap

I can't seem to help myself, I've joined another Hogwarts swap! This one is the Hogwarts Sock Kit Swap 3. It should be a really fun swap. We get to put together sock knitting kits for our partners in their house colors- bag, yarn, needles, markers, pattern, etc. It's always great to see what other people come up with. The sign ups close when 100 people have joined or on August 29th, whichever comes first. Get yourself over there and sign up now- it's easy! I got sorted into Gryffindor for this swap- the house I belong in must depend on the day!

I'm supposed to earn five points for Gryffindor if I put the button for the swap on my blog. I have yet to figure out how in the world to do that but I'll see what I can do. If nothing else here's the picture of what the button looks like:

Better be... Gryffindor!

The Gryffindor socks are finished! These were a special order for a customer. They were lots of fun to knit and I think they turned out great. I might even knit up a pair for myself.

I'm patiently, well maybe not patiently waiting to discover who my swap partner will be for the Hogwarts Sock Swap 2. I keep checking out the blog for the first swap and drooling over the socks that owls are delivering all over the world. Who would have thought that making socks for a total stranger would have me so excited? Sock knitting and Harry Potter combined- two addictions in one I suppose.

I have lots of new hand dyed sock yarns on their way to me, pictures as soon as they arrive.

The Jaywalkers are coming along quite nicely, the yarn I'm using is great with the pattern. Can't wait to wear them. Seems as though I've been on a bit of a sock knitting kick lately. I'll never get anything else done this way...
