Today started the event of the season! The speed sprinters
have cast on, and some have even finished even as you read this! The Ravenclaw
sprinters are going strong, and you can check updates in the Ravenclaw
Quidditch thread here.
But who are they, those chosen few? Let’s take a closer look at a couple!
Let’s start with someone who was the first to turn in their market bag! Fifth Year player Senkatnovo
the NightOwl stayed up all night to start at precisely midnight POT. You may
know her from the Ravenclaw Summer Shawl battles as a fast knitter, (I sure
do!). She apparently can’t resist a challenge!
Bklyngrrl67 was almost as fast as Senkatnovo, and turned in
our second totebag! She’s bringing glory and honor to Ravenclaw, and is most
definitely a fast knitter!
HeyYall is a first year Ravenclaw who has already proven her
worth in the Quidditch pitch. Not only has she participated in the first two
training films, but she maxed out her points in the second one with 5 great
looking squares! She is an enthusiastic first year and is more than ready to
knit non-stop.
We all know Drake. She will be playing for BA5. She is aways
ready with a well studied response in the common room, and she wants a nice
useful bag out of this speed sprint. As a determined and dogged competitor, she
will definitely deliver in this event. She told the quidditch team not to pick her over 1NK, though this
reporter doubts anyone would get picked over 1NK in a speed sprint. Think of
her as Luna in a soaring eagle-head!
Since we’ve already started talking about her,
Oneneedleknitting is our next star Quidditch player! She finished a shawl in 10
hours, so a tote bag should be even easier! She is the shawlmaster, so let’s
hope it translates to epic victory on the Quidditch field! When asked why she
should be picked for the speed sprint team, she cheerfully replied “Beacuse I
am awesome and super fast and will bring honor and glory to Ravenclaw
Quidditch!”
Another player who promises to be strong in the field is
ThroughTheLooking. Our Fourth Year player boasts the skill to plow through a
shawl in an evening, and whip through a sleeve in day, so a tote bag should be
no problem! Her entire evening is dedicated to Quidditch knitting am this
reporter is quite sure her efforts will shine through on the pitch!
Omeletsmom is the very best second year Quidditch player.
She is very competitive and will use this opportunity to score as many points
for Ravenclaw as absolutely possible. She is in it to win it, and to challenge
herself and others in the speed sprint!
Seventh year Trikel is a speedster at heart, and speed soars
through her veins! She is proud to represent her seventh year, and Ravenclaw
House. She loves to be challenged, and is ready to lead the Ravenclaw Quidditch
team all the way to victory!
A special mention to the rest of the Speed Sprint team, who
are just as ready to kick but as the ones above! 3trees , Kaypendragon, Madislandgirl,
Tindrasgrove, SarahtheEntwife, Andryl, Soprano1 and alternates Jillian79 and
Keres!
These great players are ready to SOAR! For Ravenclaw! Remember to come by the pitch and join the pep squad with cheers for our Quidditch Speed Sprint team. This reporter will be sharing some extra special Ravenclaw Cupcakes.
