I just received my package from DesignVigilante! (Slytherin color arm warmers)


These are so wonderful! They fit perfectly! >.> How did you know? 
I don't care if its hot when the final HP movie comes out, I'm SO wearing these. Not enough people support Slytherin!

Thank you DV!

Those are much cuter than the arm warmers I tryed to make myself this winter, my knitting skills still needs some work.
And I'll be frying in the heat with you when the last movie comes out, with my rediculously thick and long gryffendor scarf 
ps- love the 1up tattoo!

Yay! I'm glad you received and that it fit perfectly h-chan! And I actually had no idea it was the right size, i accidentally knitted them with needles a size bigger and I couldn't test them on my own arms because I'm a bit plus sized. I guess I just have magical knitting luck! I hope the colors look right! I hand dyed it myself. I was hoping for a bit more saturated green. Anyway, Happy Birthday! And have fun wearing them in July

I received my birthday package from ivoryh1632 this morning, and I got spoiled! Two yards of adorable teddy bear flannel (I've been going through flannel like it's going out of style, so this will get used up in no time!), a CD of Deceptively Delicious recipes (maybe now I can get my husband to eat a vegetable!), 10 different aromatherapy bath salts, and the most awesome stenciled onesies I've ever seen!

Here's the entire package (minus the card which had already made it into my card display before I shot the pic!)


Look at all the bath salts Enough for 10 baths or 20 foot soaks!


They're all different scents, for different effects


And the most awesome Harry Potter inspired onesies, front and back:



Thank you SO MUCH Ivory, I'll be enjoying these birthday gifts for a long time to come

Love those armwarmers, DesignVigilante, great colors! Did you use Kool-Aid to dye your yarn?

Love those armwarmers, DesignVigilante, great colors! Did you use Kool-Aid to dye your yarn?

I have used kool-aid in the past, but these were done using the powdered rit dyes. I mixed kelly green and teal to get the green, and used pearl gray for the gray.
