Bit of Ivory

I meant to do one yesterday, one in which I waxed philosophical about how one year ago I met for the first time IRL, which has started a chain of events that I could not have foreseen. But last night did not turn out as planned, so the post did not get written, and now it seems a bit too late. Anyway, a year ago I could not have imagined how wonderful Nimbus would be, or that Wahleecon could ever have happened at all. I was absolutely blown away by OotP, and in some ways I still am. All the reminiscing about OotP, mixed with a bit of the post-Wahleecon letdown, has left me hankering for new canon. Please, JKR. Don’t make us have another 3-year summer.

*sigh*

I would like to announce to the world, however, that I have learned how to purl, and am therefore ready to begin work on a new Ravenclaw scarf. The one I have now is crocheted rather than knit, and is so long that I have a tendency to trip over it. I’m going to the yarn shop on my way home from work today to pick out my colors and buy a circular needle. I think on this one I’m going to stick with the movie!Ravenclaw colors, modified to fit my tastes (dark blue instead of light), to match the rest of my outfit. But I’ll probably make a book!Ravenclaw scarf after I finish this one. I am a canon-thumper, after all.

Finally got around to taking that personality/house sorting quiz thingy. Results as follows:

Gryffindor: 74
Ravenclaw: 91
Hufflepuff: 79
Slytherin: 21

Not really a big surprise, that. I might have expected my Gryffindor score to be lower, but everything else seems about right. Is nice to know I am not a Slytherin.

BAX to WORX. Expect part 2 of the Wahleecon recap sometime tonight. If I’m not too busy knitting.
