go go gryffindor!

I have weaved in the ends of the super long Gryffindor scarf. I soaked it in water, and then set it out to dry... to block... I don't know how the blocking is going... but i shall go check it, and maybe even steam iron it.

I've already cut up the fringe, and... then it shall be done. If the scarf is dry, I shall have the BIG item done, and ready to mail as soon as the post office is open again.

on the small note, last night I tried the Ginny Weasley hat from Goldfishgirl on Craftster.org I misunderstood the directions, so i ended up with a hat that one can not wear, but only let it sit on the top of my head. Sigh...and it had started out so well too!!! ( pattern on page 2...it's actually really easy except the part i misunderstood, but other than that!! EASY)




I was going to remake today, as in right now, but i tried to use a different yarn, and it's not the same yarn... it's thinner...so maybe i need to use TWO strands?

this is what i've made so far for the swap, minus the huge scarf.


(L-R: Go Go Panta, Crochet Slipper #1, Crochet slipper #2 - I made the pom poms different so that she can differenciate the left from the right one.)

I think if i don't remake the ginny hat, i'm just going to end up giving the hair topper to my partner cuz I made it for the swap especially.

on the ATC front, since I have a dealyed mailing date, I found a vellum paper that i think would go well with the Chinese New Year ATC swap. so I might redo one of the cards.

Here are what else I have to do for swapping:
* 3 crochet maryjanes for the ongoing pick your partner swap
* the rest of the PAT ATC card
* mail out the brochure for jlovesg
* the chinese new year goodie package for scotskipper.

am i missing anyone else?
