Wingardium Leviosa!


I have finished my Hogwart socks for my secret swap (Hufflepuff colors). They are by no means perfect, but that is the beauty of handmade socks. I managed a decent "Wingardium Leviosa" spell to show them off. I think my secret pal has seen my blog, so the rest of her package will remain a secret until she receives it.

I still don't have my Flavour of the Month yarn from the Sweet Sheep, but she has been very kind to work with and we're straightening it all out
. A glitch with customs, I think. BUT I JUST CAN'T WAIT!!!

Also, good for a laugh. I checked out more books on knitting from my favorite library and saw this project:
These men's boxers are just too weird.

Have a memorable memorial weekend!!!

Hogwart's sock swap update:

I finished my second Noro scarf and I LOVE IT! Two skeins of Noro silk garden - found the pattern through this site. Let me know if you can't find it.

There was one tiny glitch in the yarn. That hasn't happened to me with Noro and it made me mad. There is a little knot in the yarn - gack! - and since it's a scarf, it's difficult to hide.

Also, thanks for the help regarding sizing knit garments for my kids. I will take all your advice and try this out! Courage!
