Classwork Showcase

Another week of showcasing the awesome work Ravenclaw's have been working on!


ASTRONOMY
Roocmc's tonal green baby cardigan is an pretty combination on yarn and pattern, showing a "specific confluence of events" during the penumbral eclipse.

CHARMS
Fractal spinning is not for the faint of heart, but indigoroses has ably demonstrated this advanced technique with some seasonally-appropriate yarn.

DADA
After researching in the library's restricted section, CathyCake transformed two large skeins of yarn from aliiiive human skin color to vampire eyes black and zombie skin gray (1440 yards of zombie skin!).


Detention
Rondaletts completed a half & half hat so her husband can show loyalty to BOTH of his marching band color guards!


Flying
idlecuriosity48 whipped up a Patriots headband in no time flat!


Herbology
KnittingLinguist had a little bit of trouble trying to grow a pumpkin. She finally decided to grow a normal pumpkin & it came out fantastic!




History of Magic
MrsWingnut crafted a Halloween hat to 1) protect her son's head from a concussion and 2) a mummy octopus!! Awesome!!

Potions
Mimulus knit up a fabulous hat to wear this winter in her theaters production of "Waiting in the Wings". "This project truly will bewitch the mind and ensnare the senses of my audience because it bottles Sarita’s fame & glory, but it can’t put a stopper in her inevitable mental decline and slow slide towards death."


Transfiguration
KnitByMoonlight89 used some boring, mouse-colored yarn for this wee Knubelchen-Mini’s face and brightened it up by charming his clothes into some lively blue and green stripes!

Knockturn Alley: This one's a two-fer!
Isisonearth procured an acromantula and a vial of its venom - strictly for research purposes, of course.
Luckily, Garn Glad was able to get her hands on an amulet made from a basilisk's tooth, which will protect the wearer from any spider venom.

And that's a wrap on September's classes!!! Ravenclaw's did awesome with the turn-in's! Let's continue to go all out for October! Ra-Ra-Ravenclaw!!

Classwork Showcase


Welcome to this weeks Classwork Showcase where we show off some awesome Ravenclaw projects!!

Madame Malkins:
This mohair and silk ombre cowl will be perfect for Jillian79's fancy holiday party -- beautiful!!

Ollivander's: 
These mitts work well in violetsvintage's life; they're fingerless for enhanced turning-pages powers while on the go.

Knockturn Alley:
KnitByMoonlight89's Beard Beanie makes her a character you wouldn't want to meet in a dark Knockturn Alley.

Angelkittie made her first pair of socks! In Ravenclaw colors nonetheless!! That's going Ra-Ra-Ravenclaw! 

Quality Quidditch Supplies:
Eiseldora made a second attempt at a Christmas stocking. It came out great!!!

Apothecary:
Chennpug seems to have a wee bit of an obsession with figuring out how love potions work (or not work). While in the Apothecary she studied the love potion bottle, then made some mittens that shine bright pink when in the presence of a love potion!

Potions:
Dixiehellcat found some blue & silver Ravenclaw yarn and made up some sparkly arm warmers!

Leaky Cauldron: 

Magical Menagerie:
Sprepp wanted a pet at Hogwarts so she picked up this cute little owl cozy!! She still needs a name for him though...
