I'll be adding onto this post as the term progresses!
May:

All six classes!





Ancient Runes:







Potions:


Herbology:




OWL #1












History of Magic - While stalking Abycat, 3rd year Slytherin, I ended up following her into the Chamber of Secrets. I was hidden behind the rock statues of the chamber when she found her small sample of Basilisk skin, but the glory that was found after she left is what I present for my homework. The dark magical creatures which inhabited the space since Harry rescued Ginny followed my Slytherin friend as she left with her prize. This left me able to creep deeper into the chamber where I found this large portion of the shed of the Basilisk. Thank goodness for the help of my friends and for the lessons taught here at Hogwarts!








Charms - Draconifors

Ravelympics and the Astronomy OWL

I love the stitch definition on the Order to Chaos shawl.

A shot to better show the progress...






Row 80 of row 158...that should be 33%!


Ahh...a ball of glorious yarn!



Tempted never really got off the ground...especially as I ran out of yarn.





This ball of double stranded wool/acrylic blend yarn came from......this **UGH** hat.

Ishbel is Crazy Awesome!

The sparkly snow is a fitting backdrop for this beautiful shawl. Crazyfoot is the perfect yarn for it...I'm so glad I was able to test it out for Mountain Colors!

The shawl was created with the small stockinette section then sections ABACDDE. I have enough yarn left (see the bottom photo) that I believe I used around 400 yards. I will weigh it at school to be more precise
