Class Ideas for March 2011 for Charms and DADA


Hey guys!  Here are some ideas for these two classes.  Most of it is straight forward but for the anger Umbridge option in DADA I figured unauthorized magic, animals, or anything dealing irreverently with the Wizarding world would tick her off so that's what I chose.

DADA: scarf/cowl, new technique, or anger Umbridge 

scarf/cowl 
Knit 
Anger Umbridge 
Crochet 
Pocket animals (mouse, rabbit, raccoon, or robin) 
Turtle 
Penguin amigurmi 
Harry Potter time turner (unlimited amount of time to annoy her) 
Pocket potter puppet pals (kids and adults) 
Pygmy Puff

Lupingirl shares a photo of herself, her mamma, her sister and her step-sister. What a lovely bunch of ladies! And a darling photo of her and her BF!!! Oh pretty Sparty! Oh look what school is turning TKJ into. NK's owl sweater that's for my sister may have a mix up on it but should she tell our non knitting sister? I think not. It looks great anyways.We have converted another one! Welcome Dragoncelt! PennyIA sums up how the chatter in the CR! best to be read at random, it makes it hilarious! Fake replacement sugars are bad. FF can do a crow pose. How about you? I can't even walk and talk at the same time. OKC can do some yoga too!
FlyKytten has her plan for march already. Fabgrandma you are totally awesome! FK could use some love an prayers sent her way. Going to school? need a knitting scholarship? Nice Cowl. Chris01 is learning how to crochet. Look it's a cute computer. Mauri needs some help choosing a project.That's a different dream you had there FF. Those are some awesome washcloths DD. See what fun the Owl Post can be?!? that is awesome. LLama! There's an awesome update from Knitwit. Ooops I think I got caught up reading I forgot to write over here... look more wedding photos. Look at that darling sweater. Oh look at the cute whale. Then March happened. and Here's a summary of the classes. And the list of plans starts here.... no here.... nope here: WH, AI, DD, TKJ, FK, CLMN, KQ, HW,
FK share's her St.Mungo's turn in. TKJ brough DRACO and a cake! Swoons and faints... just a little bit. Go click and  sign up for dueling. calling the 4th years. Now you 1st years pay attention. Vertigo would like some help. Oh stats! oh Won Won, you're such a cutie. YAY!!! Oh look rabbit! and Baby Owl Quilt. FG gives us the run down on Quilt prices. so if your SO is ever giving you a hard time about your yarn addiction please show him that. Sparty would like some ideas for a friend.
and the end of pgs 338 and 339 are why I shouldn't respond to people's posts while writing the CRR... sorry guys..
But you're caught up now... so go forth and knit.

Quidditch Ideas - What? Socks!

What about feet? You can make socks for charity, no problem, but can you do it in a month? If you can, I want to see pictures! With that said, here are some very cool free patterns.

Knit Socks:

  • Monkey are cool in stripes, solids, or variegates!
  • Skew turns Gryff stripes into the socks at left!  Cooh, right?
  • Hedera are lovely in any yarn, and it's an easy-peasy lace repeat!
  • Thuja uses a heavier yarn for fast and warm results.
  • I know from personal experience that Sunday Swing Socks are elegant and easily memorizable.
  • I'm sure our favorite heroine would approve of Hermione's Everyday Socks!
  • The Leyburn Socks are gorgeous.
  • I love the Froot Loop pattern!
  • The Yarn Harlot's Earl Grey pattern is classically elegant.
  • Don't you think Dumbledore would approve of the Fawkes pattern?

And for my fellow crocheters:

That's it for this round!  Until next time:
