Just Added

Because I'm a RPattz follower, I've added a few trailers of his upcoming movie, Little Ashes to my site. These are courtesy of MTV.com. I also added How To Be, another movie slated to come out shortly after Little Ashes. The roles he plays are a night and day compared to the Edward Cullen role. I'm really excited to see him in these new roles, as I feel he is tremendously talented. I also added a link to my favorite RPattz site, where I frequently listen Rob's music, a.k.a. Bobby Dupea.

Last, but not least, I added a countdown to the Twilight Saga: New Moon movie too!

I heart my spoiler

My spoiler for HSK7 swap is Minerva Wood a.k.a. Yogaknot on Ravelry. The funny thing is that she was also my spoiler for the Hogwarts - A little bit of everything swap too. I came home today to my HSK7 package from Minerva, and am utterly flabbergasted!

She put such a great package together, I just have to share this with you.



Can you see all the great stuff?

-6 skeins of Knit Picks wool in Red (hmm...soft)
-A full set of personalized stationery set with "R" as the logo (I love!)
-A quill pen set (this is so cool, I've been wanting one of these!)
-2 packages of natural buttons in animal and leaf shapes (so pretty!)
-Hogwarts logo type buttons (very nice!)
-US 9 Hiya Hiya needles (I love these!)
-Clover stitch markers & needle protectors & flower pins (a need!)
-Printed copy of "Brea" Bag by Norah Gaughan (so pretty!)
-The cute lion scissors (I'm a Lioness at heart!)
-HP stickers (the kid in me loves these)
-A skull patch (too cool, it reminds me of ED HARDY, one of my fave designers)
-Twilight Ghiradelli bar (YUM-O!) with Dove Dark & Milk Chocolate goodies
-2 Wee One's "Golden Retriever" stitch markers (OMG, these are too precious!)
-Handknit by Minerva herself, the "Fashion Cable Knit Bag" with the most gorgeous handles (I'm totally in love with this bag, and it matches the hat she knit for me for the Hogwart's Swap, hat pattern was Jared Flood's "Habitat"

I can't express enough gratitude to Minerva for being the most excellent swapper.

HLBOES spoiler post

As my post title says, this is a spoiler post for HLBOES "Harry Potter - A little bit of everything" swap. I made something special for my spoilee Pandora Phelps. She should be getting her package any day now, and I'm just hoping she loves it.

I knitted this hat in record time, literally one night! It went so fast and so easy, and it's cables for crying out loud!

This is the first time I knitted a hat using cotton, I really love the feel of it. I'm also using this same yarn to knit up my Tech Square Afghan blanket, which is currently hibernating 8)

Here are a few shots of "Hermione's Cable & Eyelet" hat. This is an interpretation of the hat that the character Hermione Granger wore in HP Half Blood Prince.

Spoiler pics...







I will definitely knit this again, probably very soon, still using cotton too!

Now onto my other HP swap, HSK 7. Homework for this week:

If you could be one character in the series, who would you be and why?

Throughout the entire series of Harry Potter, I've always been fond of Professor Snape. I'm a Gryffindor gal at heart, but Snape has always been my favorite character. What can I say about Snape? He can be deathly fearful at times, but it's like the character is a secret filled See's candie, inside there is someone who cares. His character is very deep and complex, and doesn't show emotion outwardly. In ways, it's alot similiar to myself, I'm not one to show emotion or be outwardly affectioniate, I don't think I'm deathly fearful, but my family may disagree (LOL). I'll have to admit I am complex, which I think is both good and bad, just means I'm totally neurotic! Everyone is probably going, Snape?!? What??? Well, that's my take on Professor Snape, definitely my favorite character, and most consistent too, and damn, can he do some hot magic!

Knitters are cool

What can I say? Knitters, and I shant forget, Crocheters, are so cool!

I have received 2 completed Traveling Scarves groups this week, both are beautiful.

First is my SO's scarf, all in really nice black and gray colors.



To all the gals from my TS#25 SO group, THANK YOU MUCH FOR adding your wonderful knitting to my SO scarf!

Next is my NORO scarf



It is so pretty, and I love all the different NORO additions. THANK YOU TO all the members of the TS#37 NORO group, I really really enjoyed Mod'ing the group. It's been a pleasure and I'm sad to see it coming to an end. Everyone is getting their scarves in the mail soon, I was lucky enough to get mine's last week.

And now for a Knitter who can really put a package together! This is my package for my Harry Potter - A little bit of everything swap. It comes from the wonderul Minerva Wood.



She knitted me "Habitat" from Jared Flood, my absolute favorite designer. I love the red and the pattern. Everything in the package was perfect, and I got goodies for my dog and cat too, which they've loved playing with.

THANK YOU Minerva a.k.a. Yogaknot on Ravelry.
