*rereads and makes a note to watch Mamma Mia a bit less*
But it was as that is the day hubby (Sir Dragon Preacher) and I were married. For the past few months, I had come up with the idea of doing an afghan for him with runes on it. Of course this never got past the idea stages as there was always a reason I didn't sit down to graph it out.
Until last weekend.
May 1st...What.A.Night!
Me? Watching Mamma Mia too much? Nah, what makes you say that. Now where were we? Oh yes.
Last weekend, Sorting was announced and 'classes' opened for a group on Ravelry called HP Knitting/Crochet House Cup. The two of the other Crafty Witches who shall remain nameless *coughcough Quietish and As_Weasley_As_I_Wanna_
Becoughcough* talked me into joining in spite of my protests that I had no time to do it with so many projects on my to do list as it was. I'm sorted into Hufflepuff (what? there's other houses?)
The quick run down of the concept is there are six classes posted and on the first of each month, for three months, new sessions are given. This month's began on the first and you have till the end of the 31st to finish a class. One class. That's all that's required. Which is why 'I don't have enough time for it' has turned in her projects for all six classes already as of early this morning.
The classes were fun. They forced me to think outside the box somewhat. And most of them actually got me to sit down and accomplish part of my to do list. The projects I had needed to do fit in with the classes.
So now, while I wait for June 1st and a new set of classes, I'm working on my OWLs for Ancient Runes. Yes, you guessed it! Hubby's afghan. It's graphed and started. His name in runes and the sigil for the love of a woman for a man. While they give you till end of July to finish your OWLs, I plan to get mine done by our Anniversary.
The fun thing is the new friends made. The great thing is the shot of life it gave to my creativity as I've had to either adapt or come up with new patterns of my own. Like the crocheted baby mandrake tutorial that will be appearing in TLC Crafts section soon!
Now, I've got an OWL to 'study' for and quidditch cheers to write! Back soon but I'll leave you with a Hufflepuff Cheer (with apologies to Abba *grins*)
quidditch, quidditch, how Puffs love it, ah-hah, quidditch quidditch
Quidditch, quidditch, how we win it, ah-hah, quidditch quidditch
Beat Claws and Gryffindor
Slytherins will lose some more
And Hufflpuff wins it clean, they’re a quidditch machine
Oh, they’ve got the snitch now!
