Advanced Studies Update!

The first month of term has nearly come to a close, so I think that makes it time to look back at how our Advanced Studies students are doing!

First off, our intrepid NEWTers! We have 11 of them this term, and three of them have turned in their 50% checkpoints so far: our wonderful Head Girl gwenschweitzer, kvaustin, and LeahandtheDragon!

Gwen has finished a beautiful Wonder Woman wrap:


As well as making great progress on another beautiful shawl:


kvaustin has completed a really lovely dress:


She has also knitted what may look like the start of a blanket, but is actually the hem of what will surely end up being a really spectacular vest!


LeahandtheDragon has done a whole bunch of fiber prep and spun many fiber samples!


I think my favorite part is all this lovely wool dyed with natural dyeing techniques, which I can't wait to see spun up!


We haven't reached any checkpoints yet for OWLs, but here are a few examples of progress made from our 94 OWL students, pulled from our Advanced Studies thread:

wendebular has reached 20% of a beautiful grey sweater!



SaskiaBr has 30% of a really gorgeous Find Your Fade!


lsgarner is also working on a Find Your Fade!


bookwormdjibouti has started what is clearly going to be a really gorgeous Celestarium!


BarnOwl has two hats and part of a scarf finished!


Order of the Phoenix Missions have only been going a few days, but I have found a couple of brave Order Agents who shared their progress so far in their dorms:

Firstie qtinki has finished the first of her eight hats!


keres has started this beautiful cabled wrap!


So all in all, it looks like Ravenclaw is being its usual impressive self in Advanced Studies this term. It makes me want to push on and get my own OWL past the 7% it's been sitting at for a week. Keep up the good work, everyone!
