Harry Potter, some knitting, and a new spinning project!

Lots and lots has been going on, but not a lot of picture have been taken, as it's hard to take pictures when your hands are as full as mine have been for the last few days! When I got back to the States I found some delightful swag awaiting me-my Harry Potter Chickenboots bag! This picture shows the cute owl lining of my magical artifacts notions bag. I LOVE it, and when you realize how much you need a bag with clear vinyl involved, please consider Chickenboots. Great quality, and OUTSTANDING customer service.

Speaking of Harry Potter, I also got my custom wand that I won from Euphoric Alley. I know the gifted carver behind this Etsy shop, and I LOVE my wand. From the packaging, to all the details in the crafting of the wand, it's a work of art that I will cherish!

Because it was July there was a visit to my LYS (one of their two sale months). I didn't buy a lot, but I'm particularly excited about the pom pom. I think it will go well with the red hat I'm working on.

There hasn't been a lot of time for knitting, but between wedding stuff I've managed to finish the pair of baby booties,

and while watching Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom today I got this far on a dishcloth for my sister that I finished this evening.

After an emergency run to Atlanta, TX yesterday to bring my sister some things she forgot, I got a spinning project started. How I love being back with my wheel! I'm still trying to decide whether to make this a two or three ply; I know I'm going to be plying it on my drop spindle as my wheel struggles to ply for some reason.

Parting shot: The delightful 1920's farmhouse we stayed the night in for my sister's bachelorette party. I loved the decor, and the great job they did restoring it.
