HSKS Questionnaire
Potter Name: Agatha Vablatsky
Rav ID: knitterphd
I am allergic to: Spring and fall (lol) but no fibers or anything like that. Smoke irritates me a bit but I'm not allergic per se
Pets that I have: Two dogs (Daisy - My German Shorthaired Pointer mix and Gigabyte - An Alaskan Eskimo Mix), Two cats (Blaze and Skillet), and Two African Dwarf Frogs (Maggie and Norville)
My favorite yarn: I love soft comfy fibers. I work with wool and cotton mostly and love working with soft superwash fibers.
If you are a Ravenclaw, do you prefer the film colors or the book colors? Movie colors (blue and silver)
My favorite flavor: I can't pick just one! Lavender-vanilla, Chocolate or blueberry would be my top three
My favorite holiday: Christmas
I would like to receive a: I said I wanted a surprise kit on my application but, in thinking about it, I really need a scarf to wear to the HP premiere. Of all of the HP things I've made for myself, I've never made myself an authentic HP scarf!
List your favorite brand of needles or hooks, including size and length: I LOVE my Denise's Interchangables but as far as single needles, I'm a big fan of Addi Turbos. I only have them in sock sizes so, for a scarf kit, I would need larger ones. I tend to work more with circulars too because they're so easy to fold up and tuck in my bag. I think that for the "authentic HP movie scarf" pattern, I would need size 8 circs in 16" length.
Is there a brand that you are dying to try?: I'm always up for trying new needles but there aren't any that I've been specifically looking at.
I've participated in HSKS: (How many times have you participated in HSKS swaps?) This is my third time.
Do you have a birthday during this swap? If so which day? No (Mine is December 30th).

Owls Flying High!
In my previous post I mentioned the duel club owl had its target in sight, but I forgot to mention my owl to Miss Arabella Moody. Arabella's owl, which left my house last week, made its scheduled stop in Memphis early this morning and took flight to its final destination. I love online tracking :) I know its totally geeky but I love following the process of packages online.

Duel Club Update
The tracker on my duel club owl says that my parcel is in Canada and is out for delivery tomorrow! YAY! He's an express owl so he flew super fast :)

Still Recovering, in Many Ways
This was a very long week. My family left town on Sunday and I spent most of the week dealing with homesickness and missing them :(
My hands still hurt from Tuesday and the duel club. I will probably not do speed knitting again, although I seem to be pretty good at it. I guess its the combination of not having much time in my day to day life to knit and working well under stress. I also realized I have the perfect duel set up at my office. My boss is not in my same location so most of the time, I am able to knit at work. I'm also right around the corner from a post office (literally a few paces) so once I was finished, I could mail it immediately. But in looking at other knitting competitions out there (like hat attack and sock wars) I'm not so sure I could ever do it for a long period of time. There are so many participants that it can take weeks of knitting to compete and I think that the HSKS duel club was more my speed (I can handle knitting 4 hats).
Yesterday was a difficult day as well. It would have been my grandmother's 80th birthday had we not lost her a few years ago. I haven't dealt with my grandmother's death very well, and these little milestones which are supposed to be getting easier to handle seem to be getting much much worse. My SO and I went out for banana splits (her favorite dessert) and it helps having some way to honor her but its still tough.
I'm going to have to do something very special for my fiance when I get through this rough patch. He's been really good about keeping me distracted this week so that it went by a little easier.
Okay, enough of the bad stuff. Arabella, expect your owl early next week! Sorry about all of the delays. I seem to have a little black raincloud that follows me around when it comes to swaps. I always have trouble receiving items I've ordered for swap packages. This time, I even put the order in early to make sure it was delivered and a backordered item (which became backordered AFTER I'd placed the order) slowed its delivery down. It was a key component of the package so I had to wait. I just wish it hadn't taken so long.
I'm going to try to slowly knit a swatch to felt in preparation for the ravelympics. Have a good weekend everyone!
