Hufflepuff Quidditch Spring 2014

FlandersQuidditch - Video Maker

I play knitting games in the Harry Potter Knitting and Crochet House Cup group on Ravelry. 

In Spring 2014 all the players gathered for the Quidditch World Cup, in which different countries were represented on the pitch to battle for the title. I was a Beater, or cheerleader for Hufflepuff. Many Hufflepuffians supported Team Flanders. I created badges for our team to wear. Each badge was a badger wearing a hat from their country. This little video presents a selection of the badges set to music. So turn on your speakers for the music, or turn them off if you hate it. I thought it was funny.

Cicada bags

 These little bags are modified versions of the Cicada bags from Kumiko Sudo's lovely book, Omiage. I have added beads to their heads and simplified the wings. I like combining beautiful Asian-inspired fabrics to make these little bug bags.

These small bags are suitable for a cell phone or a bit of make-up or other small things you might need to carry. They are fun to make and they make nice little gifts.
