snakey's lost her slytherin mind
anguinea of Slytherin proposes to tackle Option 2 for a Magical Creatures OWL.
“Option 2: Hatch an Egg. Identify your egg (dragon, phoenix, etc.) and knit or crochet an object inspired by your creature. If you make a physical creature it must be a minimum of 12 inches in at least one dimension.”
I intend to create a fully-grown Phoenix seated upon a perch and, since a Phoenix does not come from an egg, a Phoenix chick emerging from ashes.

evile project is too evile
my "dangerous" project is killing me slowly, but not in a good way. i do NOT like it so far, and i am running out of both green yarn and time. i think this one might just have to go in the "get it done" category. they can't all be winners, i guess.
i have to focus on the amigurumi. every time i stray, i fail.

OWL ideas sketches...
thinking i might try for a "magical creature" OWL, i did some sketches from the HP lexicon's bestiary.
these were ones my kid thought might be good to see in 3-D:
Streeler: Giant African snail that changes colour every hour, and deposits a trail of venom as it moves that kills and shrivels all vegetation over which it passes, and which can kill horklumps. It is often kept as a pet...
edited after deciding not to do the zoo idea...i think i WILL do this creature eventually!

the dangerous scarf w.i.p.
i have about 2 dozen leaves so far (most smaller than the last ones i showed you), a possible tendril and i started the bulk of the middle of the scarf today.
this month is whizzing by! i am not sure i will be able to get my owl proposal together in time, but my kid and i picked out 5 likely candidates for a magical creature "zoo". i have to do some sketches and get my yarns together for a post by the end of the month!

HPKCHC project begins
i found a nice irish crochet leaf online and am embarking on making manymanymany of them for my "something dangerous" class project for potions. (her photo is 1000X better than my scan.) i like the little ridges that come from crocheting into the back loop.
you've probably guessed what it will be already. think "philosopher's stone".
