It's all Magical

HSKS Update: Wow! week three already. I need to get my tukis moving. I have the pattern picked, the yarn selected and pulled out of my stash and the shopping list for the extras, now just gotta get caught up and moving on it. I love the pattern and if it comes out cute then I think a few of my  "muggle" family members may be getting one for Christmas.

HLBOE Update: Again, got the pattern picked but I need to yarn shop for this one.  It's another easy but looks like time consuming knit. Thankfully, I have a little more time for this one.

Well I've made weekly contact with all the peeps I need to make contact with. Now back to my job as an auror for Defense against the Dark Arts.

Happy Crafting!

First week of Camp!

Whew! first week of camp is almost over already, oh boy.  I have been stalking Clara and I have the pattern picked out, now to just find the perfect yarn..... We are going "muggle" camping this weekend and I intend to do some "treat" shopping for some items local to include in my package.  I hope she will enjoy it all.

HSKS-Summer Camp has begun-Whoo Hoo

Well it's gonna be a very Harry Potter Summer between the new term of HLBOE and HSKS Summer camp. I am also the new Gryffindor Prefect for Hogwarts at Ravelry and busy running my own group Once Upon a Time.  Muggle life is busy as well but I love my Harry Potter and I love my swaps.  Well so one of the assignments is "getting to know me"  so as suggested, I am posting some of my favorite things.

• Knit or crochet or both? I mostly knit, but I do enjoy crochet amigurumi
• Brands you would like to try but don't have easy access to? Oh, I am near several local yarn shops, Michael's and Joann's, so I have alot of access, but I tend to buy cheap for myself. The good stuff comes from my spoilers and I am happy with whatever they choose to send.
• Favorite fibers/least favorite fiber? I don't like tofu yarn. I don't use much cotton either.
• Favorite colors/least favorite color? I don't care for neons and baby colors, all other colors are lovely. Jewel tones are my favorite and of course RED is my all time favorite color.
• Yarn weight preferences? DK or sport
• Favorite project? I make socks, mini-socks and beannies, but I will try most things at least once.
• Favorite gadgets? kacha row counters
• Favorite designers? I have so many, I have faved several on my ravelry page
• Salty or Sweet or...? Sweet
• Tea or Coffee or...? Both, either.
• Allergies? None
• Other things you like, i.e., buttons, pens, fabric, stitchmarkers, etc.  I use simple silver rings for stitchmarkers, but I like small scissors and always need tape measures.
• Currently Craving? Popcorn, I live on popcorn
• Where you might have wish lists (Loopy Ewe, Amazon, Etsy) not really, I love Knitpicks but with so many yarn and bookstores, I usually find what I need when I am out and about.
• Measurements (feet for socks, wrists, head circumference) Size 9 feet, probably medium for head and wrists
• Whatever else you'd like to share! I go camping once a month with the family, have annual passes to Disneyland and I have a new bike that I have been enjoying. In addition to Ravelry, I am hooked on
  Facebook

Well time to go stalk my partner now.
