I planned to finish this scarf before my sister and I went to Harry Potter World at Universal Orlando on January 16. I finished all the weaving a week in advance, but needed to remove the header, tie the tassels, and wet finish it. I was having so much fun hanging out with my sister throughout that week that I never got around to finishing the scarf until a few days after she left. I didn’t wear it to Harry Potter World on this trip, but I’m sure I’ll be back there and have another opportunity to wear my House colors!

No Purl Ribbed Scarf
This is another of the projects that I finished up last week while my sister was here. I finished the knitting the week before she came, but still needed to weave in the ends. Easy peasy!
The Trouble with Tribbles
Last week was busy, with little time for crafting or blogging. My sister arrived on January 10 for a one-week vacation. We went to see three movies (Into the Woods, Unbroken, Selma), which is more movies than I usually see in the theater in an entire year. We also watched Blu rays at my house; she saw Night at the Museum for the first time and I saw How to Train Your Dragon for the first time. We played lots of Pandemic, a board game
Gryffindor Houndstooth Scarf
I am not going to post about every project I completed during the six weeks I took off from blogging. I’m making an exception for this project, which I finished before Thanksgiving, because it provides an interesting comparison to the Hufflepuff Houndstooth Scarf.
Projects Finished in 2014
I did not expect to take time off from blogging during the holidays, but that’s what ended up happening. The last six weeks have been a whirlwind of events with family and friends. I’ve done very little crafting as a result. However, I will be back to blogging regularly starting next week. For today, I put together a short video compilation of all the projects I knit, crocheted, spun, wove, and / or dyed during 2014. I hope you enjoy it!
