This week marks the start of quidditch season at the House Cup. Since I'm playing for Hufflepuff this term, I decided to get in the spirit of things.
I made a set of quidditch fan accessories in Puff yellow and black and then Steve helped me with this 'rabid fan' photo. Great, right?
I enjoyed coming up with the colorwork chart for the hat, but kept the fingerless mittens stripey.
I also tried a traditional origami coin purse.
It actually worked pretty well as I made the foundation chain the diagonal folding line (since folding is what foundation chains like to do naturally).
The coin purse is really a cube that is missing the 6th plane on the top... like an open box. Each of the 4 sides is folded diagonally in order to allow the sides to collapse in on each other, making the final object a flat square... see what I mean?
It was fun to play with yellow and black, but it was also fun to make these sushi scarves. Twinkie Chan has an imaginative eye for foodie fashion!
These scarves have a lot of small pieces though so as cute as they are, I worry a little about wear and the yarn ends popping out... we'll see.
I'll be back soon with my quidditch projects and my latest TriWizard Tournament task soon.
Hey you!!! I just had to tell you that, as I was doing searches for house hats to check official colors, your Hufflepuff hat came up under the search!!! I knew right way it was yours! :)
