I love Ravelry. Seriously folks, if you're a fiber artist and you're not a member of this site, get thee on the list!
It contains a neverending source of distractions for when I have nothing else to do, or when I don't feel like doing anything else.
The most recent thing is the HP Knit/Crochet House Cup. This is the brain child of one very enterprising Raveler. She has lots of helpers, and creates a virtual fiber-arts themed Hogwarts. We seem to be a trimester system, though there has only been Fall 08 and now Winter 09 terms so far...hmm...we might be on quarters now that I think about it. But we'll have to see.
There's a sorting ceremony, and there are classes, and for the adventurous there are even OWLs. If you happen to be adept a broom-flying, each house has a Quidditch team who creates one large project to donate to charity. There's something for everybody, and that just makes me happy.
I was sorted into Slytherin (which is not at all a shock, both because that was my first choice, and because I really don't fit into the others), and chosen to play Chaser for the Quidditch team. I signed up for all of the classes, and so far, I don't think it's too much. I want to do at least one OWL, in fact, I think I could pull off three of them, but we are advised to only do one.
For Arithmancy class this month, I am knitting something of my own design. It's not extremely complicated or crazy, but it's making a very nice product, and I think I'll make a post in the next day or two with the pattern so I can set it up on Ravelry. I also need to take some pictures and get them up here so everyone can see my progress.
Anyway, I'm starving....off to find some foods.
