Wednesday Showcase: AS Midterms Edition!

So we had 74 OWLets turn in their 50% marks by Halloween! That means 70% of the Tower’s OWL students are at least halfway done with their exams! We’d love to show off every single turn in, but we’d be here ogling for hours instead of crafting, so let’s focus on some highlights.

Dontpokeme’s gorgeous double-knit koi:

DrusillaWormwood’s stacked stole:

MrsWingnut’s Police Box Blanket

PoodleParade’s weaving

Tikabelle’s gorgeous fall-colored yarn:

TShaya’s impressively cabled sweater:

And PinkLemon’s cheerfully colored Tunisian blanket:

Not to be outdone, a full 50% of our NEWTlings have hit their 75% marks! Here are their newest accomplishments:

PickleMommy’s third shawl:

KhenaSanskula’s new hat and expanded blanket:

Bijou3owl’s Ice Cream:

And finally, MissJaneJetson’s awe-inspiring and bobbin-crazy finished sweater:

WOW, just wow, Tower! Congrats to everyone who has turned in their October marks, and keep plugging away for November! Soar, Ravenclaw!

Thanks to Kadiddly for that update!  I can't wait to see everone's finished projects at the end of the term!

Wednesday Showcase -- NEWT 50% edition!

NEWT NEWT NEWT!

A full 50% of our NEWTlings turned in their own 50% benchmarks by the end of September!! 300 points to Ravenclaw for these beauties!

Bijou3owl’s Flower and Garden shawl:

That gradient is perfect for the pattern!

MissJaneJetson’s eye-popping intarsia sweater:

I don’t even want to think about the number of bobbins and yarn cutting involved to not only do each block, but get them to match front and back, but the end result is pretty astounding!

Our own HoH is continuing her quest for four shawls in four months:

There is a reason she is qualified to give out Pickle of Sanity badges, but these are great uses of color!

KhenaSanskula not only got her 50% turned in, but got it turned in EARLY, by making on these very eye-catching socks:

As well as making significant progress on a very fun colorwork hat, and what looks like will turn into a rather large blanket, if this is only halfway done!

Congratulations to all of our 50% NEWTlings and keep on crafting to the rest! 75% and 100% are still worth points!

Thanks for that update, Kadiddly! I can't wait to see everyone's finished NEWTs!
