CLOSED: Harry Potter Craftalong - Yule 2020/21

PHEW! I really have to post some things soon… :wink:

Thank you, @Abbeeroad ! Was a bit of a different one really (we were in self isolation as the girls had a positive case in each of their classes - over the first 5 of the 10 days the numbers rose to 10 positive cases!!), but we had snow, went sledging and had good food!

Thank you for your birthday wishes as well, @AntBee

Class/Challenge: Headmistress, 12 Trees - Star
House: Ravenclaw
Project Name: Crochet Your Fade Shawl
Brief Description: Crocheting is one of my best crafts, so for this challenge I crocheted a shawl! It feels like it took forever because it’s made with sock yarn (& I had to frog & redo the first third because I read the pattern wrong). I’m not sure if I like it or not, but I think I’ve been staring at it for too long. :grin:

Class: Transfiguration
House: Slytherin
Project Name: chocolate chess pie


Project Description: I made this pie almost exactly like the recipe but I substituted 1/2 cup of sweetened condensed milk for the evaporated milk. It makes the pie more candy like. Almost caramel like on the bottom. It’s very good. I did it by accident once and now do it on purpose.

:heart: Would anyone be interested in an HPC Valentine’s Craft Date at Madam Puddifoot’s? :heart:

Love this prompt!

I would! Tea and cakes and crafts. Would be a fun date!

Yes!!! Is it a prompt? Or a zoom meet up? After today’s zoom I realized I needed more of it in my life. :grin:

It would be a Zoom (or discord, or Google Chat or something) meetup. I don’t have a professional Zoom account, so we’d be ousted after 45 minutes, unless we were to somehow use the one @kittykill got for LC.

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!
