Back to the world of yarn...

I have been neglecting my crafting sorely as of late! Between travel and meetings at A's school and reading and keeping house, the needles and hooks have been too far distant from my fingers. I didn't even finish the third Ravenclaw hat in time for the visit to Platform 9 3/4 like I had planned to, months in advance! As it was, Kristin had to borrow Misha's for this photo:

You can tell that it doesn't fit her head as it should, seeing as how I knit different sizes for Kristin and Misha. The group picture of us was supposed to have all 3 of us wearing the hats, but alas, only two had been completed. So that was the number 1 priority on my Knit List upon returning from England. I am happy to say that as of last night (since I've done next to no crafting at all since getting back before yesterday!), it is complete!
THE COMPLETED HAT TRIO!

Next up is finishing this soaker/skirty that I've been commissioned to make that stalled out with the rest of the crafting freeze...

Also, while I am going to be out again this weekend (Belgium on Saturday and down at Ramstein on Sunday!), I still have a craft fair on base to prepare for! It's less than a week and a half away, and fast approaching!

Hurray for knitting, and double hurray for knitting geeky Harry Potter stuff :) I made two purse/bags a couple of summers ago (http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/hp-house-fair-isle-pouch-bags) one Gryff and one Slyth. It was so much fun....

I've been making blanket squares of late, for a friend who's going to be a foster parent. I got my Mom in on it, too. It's a fabulous way to use up stash yarn.
