HLBOES - Charms assignment - and after

Evanesco!



I was up pretty late last night finishing this assignment. Thankfully binding off didn't necessarily require my eyes to be open the whole time or I would have had a disaster to clean up this morning! So glad this is finished! Will probably add some modeled pics of it later.

Later...
 

HLBOES - Charms assignment - the before

The assignment is to make one WIP, UFO or project in our queue vanish before Feb 14th. And I have just THE one! This lovely shetland shorty has been waiting around for me to finish since we got back from our "vacation" on the 9th of Jan. I did finish both sides of the front over the last week. Here's the status of it right now:



I've got a whole lot of stitches to pick up so I can do first the neck edging and then the armholes. I'll update this post when I'm finished.

HLBOES - flying assignment #3

The assignment was to knit a bag with a flying/quidditch related theme to it (or something like that, I'm too tired to go track it down at the moment). Here's what I put together:

HLBOES - Flying assignment #2

The assignment was to knit a golden snitch! I'm going to add a twist to this assignment. I want you to add your own flare to the snitch. Notice my flare was the blue embroidery. Make it awesome, make it fancy, make it YOU! This assignment will be worth 15 points. Extra 5 points if you show the picture of your finished project early. I would like it if you could post the picture in my classroom so everyone can see what creation you have made.

Here is mine!

HLBOES - Magical Creatures assignment

For this assignment we were to knit or crochet a cat, any size, any application. Here's what I did for mine.



This handy dishcloth will help me to lick the plates clean, just like my dear kitties like to do when given the chance.

The rules of Quidditch
----------------------

Quidditch is a game played on brooms with two teams, each team consisting of seven players. The positions on the teams are as follows: 1 Keeper, 1 Seeker, 2 Beaters, and 3 Chasers. The Keeper protects the goals (3 rings) for their team. The seeker is primarily concerned with finding and capturing the snitch (a small golden enchanted ball). The Beaters are primarily concerned with protecting their teammates from the bludgers (two enchanted balls that fly around attempting to hit the players). And the Chasers are responsible for obtaining and moving the quaffle (the fourth ball involved in the game) down the field to score goals.

A quidditch game begins when the referee releases all four balls from the central circle. The Bludgers and the Snitch fly off on their own accord; the Snitch to hide itself quickly, and the Bludgers to attack the nearest players. The Quaffle is thrown into the air by the referee to signal the start of play. When the quaffle is thrown through one of the rings, a goal is scored and is worth ten points. After a goal is scored, the Keeper of the team scored upon throws the Quaffle back into play. Capturing the Snitch earns the Seeker's team 150 points, equivalent to 15 goals scored by Chasers. Since the game ends immediately after the Snitch is caught, the team capturing the Snitch is very likely to win the game, though not always. The length of a Quidditch game varies, as play can only end with the capture of the Golden Snitch by one of the Seekers.
