A New Term

While I am thrilled to be back at Hogwarts I have already been to the infirmary! I can't believe I forgot about canary creams! Oh well, I am sure it will be a great term and I am looking forward to seeing everyone again.

Owl Post!


I received my package from the Fabulous Patonga Wigworthy! She included not only a hand knit bag, but also a large tote in great fabric. A set of Lantern Moon Sox Sticks that I have been coveting, a snitch kit, folding scissors, retractable tape measure, tapestry needles, a clip on light and the perfect pattern for the yarn she sent! The best part was the cool row counter bracelet and matching stitch markers. It will be my first time doing socks with two colors so I am looking forward to the challenge.
