Saturday night...

...and squeaking in with a last-minute post! I made great progress this weekend on my swappee's project and am so looking forward to putting her kit together. Pickles, my owl, should be winging his way across the Atlantic soon...but first, I have a muggle business trip to LA that I'm leaving for in the morning. So, no fun and interesting antics from the weekend at Hogwarts, because most of it was spent cleaning, doing laundry and packing.

Back next Sunday - everyone have a great week!

Better late than never...

So, had a nutty, nutty weekend and just realized I forgot to do my homework! How awful!! Anyway, here it is, better late than never...

1. Favorite magical creature: I think centaurs are awesome. Mighty and proud, and so, so smart.

2. Favorite charm, spell or curse: Accio! Because who wants to get up from their cozy spot when they've dropped a knitting needle and it rolls under the couch?

3. Favorite holiday tradition: We do the Italian "Feast of the Seven Fishes" on Christmas Eve. I don't even eat half of them but the family gets all worked up for it, so it's a lot of fun.

4. Favorite fiber-based FO: I am still absolutely in love with the very first Baby Surprise Jacket that I ever made, you can see it in my Projects on Ravelry (I'm 'redheadknits'). I used two strands of sock yarn held together and it just gave it the coolest, textured look for my little buddy, Elliott. He looks adorable in it! I have another that needs starting ASAP for my new little homegirl, Evelyn, and I better get going - she was born last Wednesday!
