I finished spinning the Nerd Girl Yarns Lux Top that I have had on my wheel since last July! I am absolutely in love with this yarn and am already looking for knitting patterns. If you have any suggestions, let me know!

Ravenclaw Houndstooth Scarf
I planned to finish this scarf before my sister and I went to Harry Potter World at Universal Orlando on January 16. I finished all the weaving a week in advance, but needed to remove the header, tie the tassels, and wet finish it. I was having so much fun hanging out with my sister throughout that week that I never got around to finishing the scarf until a few days after she left. I didn’t wear it to Harry Potter World on this trip, but I’m sure I’ll be back there and have another opportunity to wear my House colors!
WIP Thursday, January 22, 2015
Yesterday was a busy day around here and I did not get a chance to blog my WIPs for the week. Better late than never!
No Purl Ribbed Scarf
This is another of the projects that I finished up last week while my sister was here. I finished the knitting the week before she came, but still needed to weave in the ends. Easy peasy!
The Trouble with Tribbles
Last week was busy, with little time for crafting or blogging. My sister arrived on January 10 for a one-week vacation. We went to see three movies (Into the Woods, Unbroken, Selma), which is more movies than I usually see in the theater in an entire year. We also watched Blu rays at my house; she saw Night at the Museum for the first time and I saw How to Train Your Dragon for the first time. We played lots of Pandemic, a board gamein which players work cooperatively to cure four diseases that are threatening to take over the globe. We played mini golf, went to Harry Potter World at Universal Studios and Universal Islands of Adventure, and spent a day in Saint Augustine. We visited family, including an impromptu dinner at my house one night. Three times we walked more than a mile: birdwatching with our father and other family, once to hang out with an uncle, and once to the library and back so I could return a book. It was a pretty awesome week! Although I didn’t have a lot of time for crafting, I did finish up three projects. All three were mostly finished, but needed a little bit of finalization. The Tribbles are the first of these projects.
