sunshine-challenge Prompt 1: Red

[sportivetricks]

This seemed like a good excuse to crochet. Like I needed one. XD

I can't think of red without thinking of Gryffindor! So here's a quickie Gryffindor coaster.





And while I'm at it... why not? A ranking of my top ten favorite Gryffindor characters:

10. Remus Lupin
9. Minerva McGonagall
8. Harry Potter
7. Sirius Black
6. Hermione Granger
5. All the Weasleys (yeah, I'm cheating here)
4. But I'm sure Percy would agree that he deserves his own honorable mention
3. And so does Ron because he is, after all, Our King
2. Neville Longbottom
1. Albus Dumbledore

Omg, wow!! You crochet so fast <3 And the product is very cute. I love crocheting but I decided to go all in (after two very average scarves) and started on a scrap-yarn granny square blanket. With very thin yarn. oTL I'll be so proud of myself to have finished it, so many tens of hours will have gone into it by the end it might total a hundred. xD

If you were in a Hogwarts house, would it have been Gryffindor?

OOOOOH a fellow happy hooker! Nice to meet you, and thank you!! The coaster is 2 squares, 15 sc x 14r each, worsted weight, 5.5mm hook. Finished together with a 2-round sc edging. So a super quick make.

I recently finished granny square afghan, which I hilariously thought would be fun to crochet in DK weight on a 4.0mm hook. XD Yeah, no. Took 3 solid weeks, about 9-10 hours a day. So... almost 200 hours? But I got there at last, and so you will you! Keep it up! \o/

Most assuredly. Act fast, think later, and never pass on an opportunity for mischief. :D

Oh man, I'm not at home right now or I'd love to show you a picture of my dear ugly blanket.

God, why are we like this? I think I'm using a 4mm or 5mm hook and the same weight yarn for mine as well, it's... *facepalm* I did accidentally buy some yarn that was a touch too thick as well, so it's just going to be a frankenstinian beast in every way. I shall be ever so proud of it LOL. Thank you, I will do my best! ♥ Now that I'm caught up on B99 I need another show that I can watch in the background while I crochet.

Congratulations on finishing that project though, oh my god!! Hard work pays off >:D

OMFG are you me??

Baaahahahaha omg. I remember when I first started crocheting and was like, but all the yarn has to be the saaaame. And just kept on buying 1 ball of every pretty yarn on the planet until I had no choice but to start putting it all together or be swallowed in a mountain of it (not that this would be a bad way to go). And of course there's no going back once you've embraced the frankenbeast. :D

I would LOVE to see a pic of your ugly blanket!!

Apple TV + crochet. Forever drug of choice. I only have 3 episodes left in my current marathon. *sobs* Might just have to start over immediately from the beginning. It's been known to happen. ;)
