Memos from St Mungo's

Crazy A’s class ideas!

Where to start this month - hmmm How about with our esteemed HOH’s class?

DADA:
Items that comfort:
Doll
Shawl
Alcohol cozies

or of course there is the option of using chocolate as a theme, after all who among us can say chocolate doesn’t make us feel better.

my personal fav being:
box of chocolates.


Charms:
For those of you in the Tardis Cowl Along - fit your project here!
Easy Lace Stole
Clapotis
Lace kerchief
Fingerless mitts
Komet
Triangle scarf

AR
Ahh, here it is better to hit the pattern search - or, we are listing every pattern on rav for you alphabetically, which as much as we love you, and as crazy as we are, would probably still take us all month.

Potions
This class is so very wide open that any suggestions we make would seem limiting. But, I (Airmidm) can say that Dr Who (Ten particularly) makes me very happy so I picked a project from that show to do. This is all about YOU and what makes you happy, what soothes you and calms you. Is it watching a Red Sox game? If so make a Red Sox hat. ;)
As for fiddly - we have one word - socks! Professor Feelgood loves socks - and for those of you with Second Sock Syndrome - she is accepting Dobby Socks


Herbology
Cables - oh yes Cables.
If you are unfamiliar with this technique - in either crochet or knitting, I would recommend a simple cosy.
For those of you knitters who would like something more complicated - there is always the Irish Hiking range of items. A simple and easy cable which looks very effective.

And for the crocheters among you I can recommend the

<(first cables I did in crochet, 5th crochet project I think [anethemadevice])
or
Crochet cable scarf
Which as can be seen from airmidm’s project page can also be adapted into a very nice bag

HOM

History of Magic is again a wideranging class and basically if you feel like making a toy, or a baby item here it will fit.

AND - and yes the two Ultimate Questors here who are again going for it would also have a PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT

A COMPLETED OWL IS STILL MORE POINTS THAN ALL OF THE CLASSES....
Please focus on your OWLS this month, Slytherin needs the points!

Memo's from St Mungos

Mad Hatter's Tea Party Cozy-a-long ideas:
We are planning one class to have a Cozy- a- long for this month. seakame is organizing the list of participants but we thought we would make a list of suggestions!
There are key cozies, tea pot cozies, mug cozies, hot water bottle cozies, iPod cozies, fruit cozies, kitty cozies, camera cozies... think outside the box or *inside* the box, especially when it is bigger on the inside. ;)

Of course there is the ouroboros for those searching the Chamber for History of Magic or even the Witch hat tea cozy ... who is to say Ole Sal didn't have a lady friend?

How about a wine bottle cozy for those adventurous Snakes? You could add a rune or felt a flower and add it on if you want to do a cozy for Herbology or Ancient Runes.

Or here is one with flowers already on it.

If you are looking for a bunny theme for Charms? how about a bunny can cozy ?

This one fits for Potions or Herbology!

Aww! Who can say no to a sock monkey or a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle? Perfect for Potions

And for DADA... Queue searching until you come across a cozy! Easy Peasy :D Some examples are Jensta79 , Lupingirl has a french press cozy ....number 42 in her queue. Princess Onica has Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle cozies in her queue- number 235.
for the slightly off the wall Isisonearth has Wand cosy at number 19 in her queue

And here are a few more Knit patterns and Crochet patterns
