World Cup and other Miscellaneous Things

Been keeping tabs on Mugglenet?  The world cup is coming ever closer.  Life after Potter is strange.  Don't you think?  Sometimes I wake up and wish it were a few years ago, just to get excited about another release of the books and or movies.  Geeky, yes I know, but true all the same.  Do you ever wake up like that?  Where did all my Potter time go. 

Today for the fight, though someone pointed out to me that the word fight sounds pessimistic and I want to make it clear that I'm not actually fighting nor is this meant to be negative but again, a way for other fans likes me to come together and discuss other Potter related things to keep up the hype before it dies, I'm posting another video which I found HILARIOUS.  Hillywood show productions did a great job with this video.  Hillywood Show Harry Potter

Knitting Rules...

Sooooo today I had the day off.  No instructing, no school, and most importantly, NO WORK!!  I was alone in the house besides my dog, so I turned on the TV for some noise.  To my amusement, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 1 was on and my most FAVORITE part EVER.  Ronald Billius Weasley is my dream man, he is the sweetest guy ever and I vow to try and name a future son after him because he is just the best character ever.  Well, one of the best.  It was the part where he comes back after destroying the horcrux and he tells Hermione it was his voice that brought him back.  How SWEET!! 


Anywho...Knitting Rules.  Today I got some time to really knit.  I finished a candy corn hat for my friend that's a photographer doing some halloween pictures, and I started looking around for some fingerless gloves as well as additions to my halloween costume.  No, sorry folks, don't have the money to buy a Potter costume and I don't have enough yarn to make my own.  Ha ha.  However, we're doing a spider theme, my boyfriend and I.  It's going to be wicked, though we both wish we would have thought ahead and gone as NCIS characters.  XD 

But seeing as this is also my knitting blog, I've decided that I'm going to eventually put down a list of knitting rules that I've come to find handy...And I have a few to start.

1.  ALWAYS have black yarn.  You never know when you're going to find a project that will look PERFECT in that dark color, or even to finish off a project to give it that final touch.

2.  Small handbags?  Don't believe they exist for needle crafters.  I carry a big bag with me everywhere and I always have at least one project with me because I always make sure to have a small project cast on to carry so that I'm never stuck anywhere bored.  You never know when you could get a few minutes of knitting time in!

3.  Carry a stash list with you at all times.  Helps keep your wallet full.  ;)

Those are just a few for now.  Stay tuned!
