Now for the second half of our NEWT proposal showcase! As before, click on each student’s name to see the proposal.
Soprano1 leads off this half of our NEWTlings. Soprano will be combining Ancient Runes and Muggle Studies in her study of the Mediwitch Paris Geller as depicted in the documentary series Gilmore Girls. She will create a set of colorwork accessories (scarf, hat, mittens, fingerless mitts) with the use of charts. They look to be a lovely set; I’m looking forward to seeing them competed!
Greenheron is up next. As befitting one of her species, she will be hatching a clutch of eggs, combining Care of Magical Creatures and Potions for her NEWT. Her study of the endangered Occamy, Norwegian Ridgeback, and Fwooper will consist of a shawl and two sweaters. Can’t wait to see these magical creatures interpreted in fiber!
Astronomy and Transfiguration will be the foci of cjsquiggle’s NEWT. She will be studying three nebulae, interpreting them through the creation of two twin sized afghans and a hat, vanishing over 5200 yards of yarn in the process. Even for crochet, that is an amazing undertaking! The crazypants is strong in this one!
Arithmancy (a very Ravenclaw subject!) features in our next NEWTlings proposal. knittingIma with be combining it with Muggle Studies as she researches the unknown Muggle who created the decimal system. To represent this base 10 system, she will be knitting 10 items, i.e. 5 pairs of socks. Which exact patterns she will be knitting is still a bit of a mystery, as 4 of them are from the Tour de Sock and one is yet to be released. What an adventure! I’m sure the results will be amazing!
Xamonster is studying MS as well, but in her NEWT, it will be combined with Charms. She will be studying the applications of the spells Leviosa and Alohomora in the Muggle world. Two lace shawls and a mosaic work hat will reflect her studies. I am very curious to see what she can discover about the use of these Charms in Muggle society.
Ancient Runes and Defence Against the Dark Arts are the subjects of deetyblue’s proposal. She will be spinning yarn for and knitting a Henslowe shawl for the Cruciatus part, and knitting a Danse Macabre shawl for the intricately charted pattern part. It sounds like a challenge, but I am sure both shawls will be worth the effort!
Alethea is our final Ravenclaw NEWTling for fall term. She will be studying AR as well, but she will be combining it with Arithmancy. Her studies will produce five pairs of intricately charted socks in a variety of gorgeous colors. I’m not a sock knitter myself, but I love to see others’ beautifully hand-knit socks. I’m looking forward to these!
There you have it, our 14 Ravenclaw NEWTlings for fall 2017. Good luck to all! We will be cheering you on in your endeavors!
