Starting tonight I will be not be reading newspapers, watching tv, or going online until I finish Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows(hopefully Sunday night). There has already been some talk about the how it will end, and people claiming that they know what happens. I do not want to know what happens until I read it for myself. When I come back there will be much talk about Harry Potter(I'm not going to spoil anything for anyone) and HP related crafts including a sock inspired by the first book. Thank you for your understanding.

Look a FO!
Sorry I’ve been MIA, things have been chaotic around here. I haven’t had a weekend off in a long time, which means some weeks I’ve been working six days straight. Thankfully I will have the all important July 21st weekend off. I also have been sucked into Ravelry.com, my invite came a few weeks ago and I am in love. Now I will be documenting my projects more, especially since I have a place to store all of my notes. There has been a FO and some sewing:
Pattern: Geometric Accessory Bags from One Skein
Yarn: Blue Moon Fiber Arts Socks that Rock lightweight in “Lapis” left over from my jaywalkers.
Hook: 3.75 mm (F)
This was such a quick project; I finished crocheting it in two days while watching some evening television. There wasn’t enough yarn so I had to do one less row than the pattern calls for and with my tighter gauge this little bag measures less than the 5” it should. I found some pretty fabric at Joann’s and a 7” zipper that matches the blue part of the yarn pretty well. This is my first hand sewing project and I just winged the whole thing but I am happy with the way it came out. It is just large enough to hold my stitch markers and sheep tape measure.
He looks happy in his new home.
