HaR Divinations Parts 1 through 3

Divinations assignments

I began with a cup of Ginger Snap Tea and found the following in my cup:

Photobucket

A stalk - person, female (length shorter than other stalks in the blend)
A boat - visit from a friend, safe refuge
A crescent - a journey

Having a female friend who lives in another town, I am h oping we can spend some time together before she moves and it seems according to this, we will as it seems a journey to her town is in the future. Knowing she is moving to a cooler climate than where she is now, I thought a nice lacy hat would be a good gift when I see her. Feeling that the leaves led to this pattern which employed v-stitches and shell stitches to achieve a lace effect. However, it seemed not quite right. Something was missing.

Perhaps an aura reading was in order. Doing so, I found a picot edging would add a nice finishing touch to the cap.

Yet still something was missing... pulling out my trusty crystal ball, I spent time focusing and gazing, trying to find the missing piece to make the cap just right.

Bobbles! Yes, definitely bobbles and so I added approximately 2" of bobble rows. Each row is an alternated stitch of bobble and single crochet.

Topped with that picot edging.

HPKCHC Herbology Assignment June 2009

Dragonsinger of Hufflepuff turning in her assignment.

While searching for gillyweed to harvest for potions class, I came across a rather surprising sight. It seems there is a Hufflepuff alumni that enjoys returning - via the lake - to take in the quidditch games and cheer on her house to which she still is loyal. On this day, she was wearing her rather lovely, hand crocheted bobble stitch house scarf and was kind enough to allow me to take photographs which I share with you now. For it seems, dear professor, that Loch Ness Monster, also known as Nessie, is a graduate of Hogwarts, House of Hufflepuff!

Another photo of the lovely scarf she wore to see the bobbles in every stripe!
