WooHoo!!!
Another Potter themed activity to keep me busy while I wait so impatiently for Book Seven's release!
I have joined up with the Hogwarts Sock Swap, hosted by the most ingenious Rebecca. She has included in the fun a house contest where we can earn points for our respective houses.
The first challenge is to answer the swap questions ASAP.
Here it goes:
Hogwarts Sock Swap Questionnaire
1. What Hogwarts house have you been sorted into?
Ravenclaw (The raven, by the way, is an extremely intelligent bird. Take a listen to this Diane Rehm interview with John Marzluff, the author of "In the Company of Crows and Ravens". Scroll down the page to find it.
Fascinating.
2. Shoe size?
7 1/2 - 8 (one's a bit too big, the other is a bit too small)
3. Foot Length?
9
4. Foot Circumference?
8 1/2
5. List your three favorite double-point needle brands, including size and length.
I'm happy with just about any brand. I usually prefer metal because the points tend to be a bit sharper. I've been interested in Knit Picks new dpns. No shorter than 5 inches and ranging in size from 0000 to 0. I like to make my socks on small needles. They tend to last longer that way.
6. Would you like to try a new brand needle? If so, which brand? Size? Length?
I really am up for trying out anything, as long as there is a decent point on them. Any materials would be welcome!
7. If you are a RAVENCLAW, do you prefer the colors in the film or the book? Do you have a strong preference?
As a Ravenclaw, I strongly prefer the house colors as described in the books - blue and bronze.
8. Are you willing to have an international Hogwarts Sock Pal?
I would love to!
This swap looks like it is going to be a lot of fun! My younger sister (a 5th grade teacher) was just this morning making fun of me for my interest in HP and HP knitting. I love being able to let her know that there are other adults out there with the same - shall we say - passion.
I can't wait to get my swap partner and begin her socks!
