Let me know when and I can set up the zoom meeting.

It would be really fun. If it happens I would definitely want to participate. My only hindrance is time of day. I’m almost guaranteed to get 1:30 to 3:00 pm daily and anytime after 8:30pm (Eastern Standard) but I appreciate how limited that is so we’ll see how it plays out.

I’ve done it when we all just log in again soon as it kicks us out. A minor inconvenience but it keeps us free. 🤷

I have a pro zoom account, so depending on day/time of the meetup I would be happy to host on my account.

Dependent on times, I would love to join in :smiley:

Wouldn’t miss it! :heart:

Hey Ms. @Abbeeroad, do you want to tell everyone what the new Iron Chef ingredient is?

Yes! I was just in the process of getting all my loose HPC ends tied up! Sorry, I try to avoid the computer when I’m not working on it 9-5 everyday, but break’s over now, so…here it is!

Iron Chef Hogwarts January Secret Ingredient: Grapefruit!
Grapefruit is for more than breakfast. Try these pink grapefruit dessert bars, grapefruit rice, or grapefruit chicken!

@Abbeeroad love all your projects but I particularly like the spell pendants. Does one of them have a feather in it? I would love to receive something that special!

~ ADVANCED STUDIES PROPOSAL ~
Project Name: Teal Talon Throw
House: Slytherin :snake: :yarn:
Brief Description: Got the itch to knit a throw blanket! Fell in love with the Talon Throw (Rav link) by Jared Flood. It’s not massive, but it will still probably take me until this time next year to finish. I’ve never knitted a blanket large than a baby sized one.

Cute Ninja Turtle!
