Quidditch and some Updates

OK, before I start with the "real" updates, I just wanna say- if you haven't already, go get on the invite list for Ravelry. I've been on there for a few weeks now and it's really worth the wait, so get on the list and wait it out. Good stuff.

Lessee.. I've progressed quite a bit on the Moccasin socks for Jeremy, and next time I make them I will add a few more repeats of ribbing but I think they will JUST fit. I am going to make him try them on multiple times as I knit the bottoms so that I'll be sure they fit.

I got my final secret pal package last week (just a tad over deadline but my sp told me and it was just a few days so.. yeah) Thank you Miss Prism. There were a lot of British candies and some harry potter patterns (dark mark illusion scarf and weasley sweater cell cozy. And some green/black lamb's pride worsted for the scarf. I ate most of the candy, and I'm too lazy to take pics right now (God my job is exhasuting) but eventually, some day, I'll take pics of the patterns and the yarn.

I ended up with the same person to spoil for the Hogwarts Sock Kit Swap 2 so I'm devising a new bag strategy for that, and the yarn has FINALLY Shipped so I should be able to get it out next Monday and beat the deadline. Whew! 1 month is not a lot of time, even though I get things done quickly!
