Using the miuku the cat pattern, my entry for the June Challenge is inspired by the greatest inspiration ever, herself.
HSKS8: Activity 1 - Three Truths and A Lie
Hmmm So let's see:
1) I've been crocheting since my grandmother taught me when I was 9 years old. Over 40 years now.
2) My first fandom was Dragonriders of Pern series by Anne McCaffrey

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!

HPKCHC Charms Assignment June 2009
I've only knit maybe 2-3 things ever but I've never attempted Illusion Crochet. Honestly till you posted this, I never knew it could be done in crochet too. Though the only existing pattern was a cute heart. While hearts are not a bad thing, any one of my friends can quickly tell you I don't do 'cute'.
But I definitely do caffeine!!! So I decided to attempt to create my own pattern and with that I present my attempt at Illusion Crochet.
A mug of coffee with wisps of steam rising.

HPKCHC Divination Assignment June 2009
Dragonsinger of Hufflepuff with her completed assignment.
When visiting Diagon Alley, one of my favorite places to stop in is Fabulous Starknuts & Knits
Starknuts is conveniently located in Diagon Alley and open to all Floo Networks with a sizeable fire place. Upstairs from the coffee shop is the Yarn shop for all your knitting and crocheting needs.
They use a special charm so that your beverage remains at your preferred temperature for as long as you have it. We offer a variety of flavors and drinks, both hot and cold.
Was by there just today and picked up some tea for my tealeaf reading. They have the most wonderfuly charmed teabags that allow the leaves to sift out so that they are in your cup for reading after finishing your tea.

HPKCHC Muggle Studies Assignment June 2009
My employer, Mr. Arthur Weasley has always been fascinated by the muggles and their inventions. One particular item has held strong interest by him, the muggle Rubber Ducky. It seems the muggles place great pride in their rubber duckys, for few muggle bathrooms are without them. They even write songs praising the virtues of the Rubber Ducky as you can see by these lyrics.
Mr. Weasley has been researching this matter and seemed to notice the popularity of Rubber Duckys increased at the same apparent rate as the muggles' usage of 'Electricity' and has come to the theory that these Rubber Duckys protect muggles frome electrocution when immersed in water in their bathtubs, as this seems to be the primary time for muggles to use these Rubber Duckys.
Based on Mr. Weasley's years of research, I humbly present a Rubber Ducky for your approval.
It seems this ducky encourage muggle children to submit themselves to cleaning and bathing, something we wizard parents do not need to do as we have various cleaning spells to remove dirt and grime from our children (Yes, I have used scourgify on my son after soccer games played in mud thank you very much!)
Sincerely,
Dragonsinger of Hufflepuff
