Mad Scientist of Ravenclaw Tower!

There were SO MANY wonderful projects nominated for this past term's Mrs. Lovegood Memorial Prize for Mad Scientist. We wish a hearty congratulations to all those nominated. You all deserve a standing ovation!

But there could only be one winner and it was announced last week that for the Spring term our winner is Andryl!!!

She knit a GORGEOUS shawl representing the movements of the planets:


"From the center out, you can see the sun, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, the asteroid belt, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Makemake, and Eris. After Eris I ran out of solid yarn, so as planned I represented the fact that the universe does not end with the solar system with a belt of rainbow yarn as I took care of the remaining short rows."

Want to know a little bit more about the Mad Scientist award and how to nominate a fellow 'Claw? Head on over here!

Once again congratulation's Andryl! What a way to represent Ravenclaw House!
