Even Nerdier!

I know I was totally nerding out last post about the Harry Potter group on Ravelry. It got worse. I found the Ravelympics group. During those other Olympics in London this summer, this group is challenging ourselves to knit, crochet, spin or dye yarny goodness. Of course, I signed up. It's just so hard WAITING (!!) for things to start. The HPKCHC sorting will begin this Tuesday - but I won't know for sure where the Sorting Hat puts me until next week. NEXT WEEK! That's like forever - RIGHT?!!!

To help the time pass - I've kept busy with these lovelies this week:
This is a test block for the designer of this pattern. She wrote it for a 9" block (see next pic), this is her version for a 12" block. I so admire her talent and creativity to come up with these patterns!Here is the 9" version that I'm mailing to an online friend in Michigan. People in our VCGroup are making blocks in the "sock monkey color palette" & sending them to her - then she is going to join them into a blanket for her friend who is battling cancer.This pattern is called "Double Framed Lace" that I made for the Big Toes Swap in the VC Group. We called this swap "Big Toes" because that's usually a criteria in other swaps, that there can be no holes big enough to get your Big Toe through. Highly technical measuring device, there.
