Hello Gryffs!
Well, for a bit of gossip. I went to Santa Cruz this weekend. I yarnstormed. I got Charms done, and I started my OWL. And I studied for a Bio test. And that was it. How is everyone doing with classes? Need any help? PM me or comment below - I am here to help! Go Gryffs!

DADA Pattern Suggestions
Hey everyone.
We have put together a list of suggestions for patterns to knit for DADA, so if you don't really know what to knit, have a look here, maybe you'll like something!
Important: These are only suggestions that haven't been cleared by Professor Scarlettb, make sure you clear it with her before you craft something you're not sure she'll approve.
Assignment:
Something inspired by a deceased historical figure, an undead creature or both.
Historical Figure Inspired:
Saint Nicholas: Santa hat (Knit)
Sir Francis Drake: Pirate can cozy (crochet), Gunner's cap (Knit)
Anna Pavlova: Ballet Bun Cover (Crochet)
Patrick Swayze: Dancing leg warmers! (Knit)
Michael Jackson: Gloves (Crochet)
Jane Austen: Teapot cozy (Knit)
Shakespeare: Midsummernight's Dream Lace Shawl (Knit), Lace Waves Bookmark (Knit), Elegant Pineapple Bookmark (Crochet)
Babe Ruth Baseball Socks (Knit), Baseball cap (Knit), Baseball buddies (Crochet)
Coco Chanel CoCo bag (Crochet)
Einstein Coat (Knit)
Elizabeth Zimmerman (do I really need to elaborate?)
Jacques Cousteau Dead fish hat,
(Note: remember Professor Scarlettb has a fear of fish... so easy with this one!)
John Lennon/ George Harrison Walrus (Knit), Fab Four Tomatoes (Crochet)
Undead creatures:
Zombies!
Ghost dishcloth (Knit)
Genie the ghost (Crochet)
Vampire Love bites Scarf (crochet)
Frankenstein: Dishcloth (Knit), Frankensocks (Knit), Frankie Potholder (Crochet)
Angel Angel Wings Shawl (Knit)
Both:
I think you can basically add Frankenstein stitches to any historical figure... as well as angel wings, fangs or a sheet to make them look like a ghost. If you knit a Napoleon Bonaparte in white and grey you could say it's a "Napoleon Zombie"!
Remember that if you make the professor laugh and/ or knit in house colors, that gives you extra points!
Let your imagination run wild!!!! Have fun!
If you have any other suggestions, leave a comment and I'll make sure to include it!

September News
The term already started and the month of September went by so fast.
To summarize:
Gryffindor is the lowest on points. But that has happened to winning houses in past terms, so we can still do it!
NEW HEAD OF HOUSE FOR GRYFFINDOR
Due to real life issues, our dear Sparksearcher had to step down as Head of House.
Angiejude (that's me, dears) volunteered for the job and now Gryffindor has a new Head of House.
Sparksearcher will still be around enjoying life next to the very famous MH, knitting and driving around.
ROARING LION AWARDS
hermionejean won the Roaring Lion Award for September, taking home with her a set of 5 Gryffindor stitch markers! It was a close call, with Mauri stepping on her heels. Finally, with the Transfiguration bonus points, hermionejean managed a total of 133 points for Gryffindor!
HOUSE CUP PRIZES
There were 5 Gryffindor students nominated for prizes at the prize thread by their teachers.
trainergirl15 was the lucky winner in DADA. Congratulations!
