For my ‘sunflower’ challenge over on the Challenge Chain forum I decided that, as we were already home, I’d go big. I was going to do this yesterday, but glad I waited, or these wouldn’t have happened
My steampunk costume has ground to a halt. It’s actually mostly finished, but the wedding has been postponed to next year. Plus I’ve decided to see if I can get a thrift shop jacket to alter, rather than making one from scratch… So advanced studies for me are having a hiatus.
Wait. what? It’s Friday??
ummmmmm… passes basket of untouched hat yarn to Harry under his Invisibility Cloak Ooh, look! points in opposite direction A blibbering humdinger!
Got 2 or 3 rows done on my shawl this week. Not as much as I would have liked, but I spent a few nights (when I normally crochet while watching tv), updating Pinterest for the Go Bananas Swap with Edel, and cutting more masks for family members and neighbors who have asked for them. And actually, that’s what I’m spending the rest of the day working on. So. Many. Masks. And I need to finish my prayer flag for seeuudee. So much to do!
I should have made this ginormous blanket I’m working on into some kind of advanced study project. I give it hours nearly every day. It is 201 stitches by 201 rows of hdc and then a border. But I didn’t think of that so…
Ah well, at least I’m crafting!

Thank you @Abbeeroad and @Edel. It’s from the “Scrappy Market Tote” class on Bluprint, so you can check out the pattern while they’re still having the free month or whatever, if you want.
Also, Hufflepuffs are coming out HOT the last few days! Keep it up!
Class or Challenge Title: Herbology House: Gryffindor Project Name & Page Link: Homegrown Alfalfa Sprouts Brief Description: For my first entry into the HP Craftalong (Hi everyone ) I wanted to share with you some alfalfa sprouts that I have grown this week. I used 2 tbsp of seeds to begin with, and by the end I needed to split up the sprouts because they were growing so prolifically!
You need to soak the seeds overnight and then after that, rinse and drain twice every 8 hours or so - I ended up doing it morning and night. From the 3rd day you need to place them in the sunshine to allow them to green up, but you have to be sure to not let them dry out. They will store in the fridge for around 5 days.
They are delicious!! Project Picture:

Note from the Headmistress…
I have added another challenge prompt, due to our current pandemic. You may complete the challenge 10 times. If anyone has posted masks already, under alternate prompts such as Detention-Stash, you are welcome to switch the challenge subject to this one, thereby freeing up those other challenges for future crafting if you wish. I will do a points tally on Wednesday, so you have until then to edit any of your posts.
If you are crafting large scale for a local hospital and somehow fill all 10 slots for this challenge, please let me know, and I can adjust the limit if need be.
Also please let me know if the bonus points rules make sense, or if you require clarification.
