Slytherpuff;; The Stuff of Legend

Big time.
Yesterday I finished my first design! I'm waiting for the Ravelry crew to hook me up as a designer so I can be linked to my pattern (and hopefully then I'll figure out if I can add the pictures to it or not!) They're very cool fingerless gloves. You can find the pattern here if you're interested! It's free :3 I'm excited about them! I'm also working on a different version of the same pattern and awesome mittens. And I do mean AWESOME mittens.

I'm bummed cause I found out last night that the deadline was changed to the 7th for early package-sending and I didn't know. I still thought it was the 17th :< So I have all of the badges except for 2.

Quidditch Round Two
A Ravenclaw found the snitch this round, but we're confident we'll have it the next round. After all, we were right on their tail feathers with only 4 people working on our team!

It is absolutely freezing in the dungeons today. I've cast three warming spells, but none of them are helping! I'm sitting in the Common Room by the fire wrapped in a blanket. The hat I started the other day is coming along nicely, but the stitch count in the pattern is wrong, so I don't see the point of the markers I'm using. If it looks like awful when I'm finished then I'll just frog it.

I started knitting a bookmark in class today, since I was the first to finish with my Charms test. It's a miniature version of the house scarves, I'm adding fringe and everything! It's about halfway done. Perhaps when I finish, I can persuade the Creevey girl to lend me her camera.
