Crazy, Crazy Weather

I don't know about the rest of y'all, but I'm tired of this crazy weather, first its warm, then it's snowing. In the same day. I can't deal with all of these temperature changes, my poor internal thermometer is totally confused. I don't know whether to be warm or cold. I'm sure I'll end up sick after this fiasco. I just want to know who is experimenting with the weather spells. I'd like to take their wand away right now.

On a more excited note, Quidditch starts today. I am so excited. I don't get to be a seeker this time, but I'm going to try my hand at the trivia questions. I do so love a good trivia challenge.

Extended Absence

I will be gone from Hogwarts for an extended period of time. I am going to a muggle music convention. My parents arranged it long ago. I am very excited. There should be lots of singing and hand drumming. Unfortunately it means I will be without my owl until Monday. I already have my homework turned in for the week and I'll be back before the first Quidditch match begins. I hope everyone has a great time at the knitting club tonight I wish I could be there, but my portkey leaves at 5. Cheerio

Disappearing for the weekend

I finally have a chance to catch up on my week here. I haven't gotten anything done since turning in my homework. I still have the same sock on my needles. I had to leave the common room right before knit nite for a meeting and missed the crazy person. I'm kind of bummed I think crazy is a little funny. I also had a run in with Peeves. He was trying to hit students with ink pellets again. I did get to see a Slytherin get nailed with one though. Quite funny. Well, I have a long weekend so I plan on getting lots of homework and knitting done. I won't be able to be reached, by owl or otherwise, until Tuesday next. If anything drastic happens I'll find out then. I'll see everyone on Tuesday.

Quite a Day

I finally got my owl telling me who my sock swap partner is today. I'm making a kit for a first year Gryffindor. I have no idea what I'm going to put in my kit, but I do have the bag planned if nothing else. On top of all my lessons I don't know when I'm going to find time to send off an owl to get the supplies. Sometimes I wish I was a 4th year so I could go into Hogsmead. I do almost have the sock I'm working on finished. It is out of Cat Bordhi's first pathways book. She may be a muggle, but she sure does make knitting magic. I'm using a really neat yarn too. I really perfer to work with sport weight so that I can use a size 2 or 3 needle and still get a nice firm fabric. This sock is made of Phildar Auteuil in colour z104. It is knitting up very prettily. Well I'm off to finish my Transfiguration homework. I swear I'm drowning in parchment most nights.

My First Sock Kit Swap

I am so excited. Last night in the common room I heard Fleur Lovegoods talking about a sock kit swap. I'm all signed up and waiting to put my kit together, I just have to figure out what color yarn I need to find. I did get the best present over Christmas Holiday. Mum and Dad finally had time to take me to Ollivander's. Check it out

Wood type: birch
Length: 11½ inches
Core: Phoenix Feather

get your own wand!

It is so nice to not have to use my grandmum's wand anymore. It was lovely, but this one works so much better. I really can't wait to see how I do in Transfiguration today, snikey, I'm late for class. I'll see you all later.
