"Have you seen the Crumple-Horned Snorkack?"

My wand came in! But I lost it already. Now where did I put it...



Seriously, tho, I am enamored of this wand. I would definitely suggest this source for all your magic wand needs. Although I can already tell I'm going to have to practice with it before DragonCon - it's hard enough just to hold it for extended periods of time, let alone wave it around convincingly as if you're doing a spell, or stick it behind your ear for safe-keeping...

New project! The Pi blanket went the way of the mastodon, making way for the shiny new Pinwheel blanket:



Ok, it's small yet, and my Denise cords are all over the place, so I can't really transfer it to something bigger at the moment to get a spread out picture, but you get the gist. I'm actually really excited about this project, I don't know why.

Also, here's a picture of my Ravenclaw scarf:



I've had to rip it back twice now, which is entirely too much for such a simple pattern. So here's hoping this time is the last time.

Loads of updates!

One project down! The Who blanket was finished in a fervent weaving-in session last night, and delivered to it's intended recipient: the impending Melspawn.



And much squeeing was had by all.

In goodies expansion news, several Hancock Fabrics are going out of business around town, which, with everything at 90% off, is good news for me:



This is not including the $80 worth of DPNs and size 17 and up straight needles that a friend picked up for me the other night. That's six yards of gorgeous red jacquard and half a yard of fish-scale sequin net, none of which I have a clue what to do with (tho I'm leaning towards a bodice for the jacquard). So I have no need to buy needles for a long, long time.

I got an invite to Ravelry the other day, which is fantastic. I'm already addicted. I think my favorite thing is the ability to queue - saving a to-do list of patterns. For example, this, which I think the Pi blanket may end up getting cannibalized for.

So that's it for now. I have yet another(!) Doctor Who project coming up, now that DragonCon is clearly on the way. Thank God it's not another scarf!
