Harry Potter Husband

Your result for The Harry Potter Husband Test ...
Mrs. Lupin
Your perfect HP man is Remus Lupin.
You like a nice, kind guy with a bit of a fierce streak and you don't mind if he comes damaged. Sure, he may take some convincing since his self-esteem's so low, but once you win him over, you know he's yours for life. Unless of course he has an attack of "I'm not good enough" and runs away, but luckily he's also good at making friends who will push him back into line if necessary.

My First Sock!!

Yay! I just finished my first sock! For those who don't know I have been wanting to try socks for a LONG time!! And well I was terrified of double pointed needles! All my experiences with them include tons of dropped stitches, anyways, I got a great pattern from Laura, alura on Rav, and my last swap partner Chris, aurea on rav. And thanks to them I dived into the wonderful world of socks! I am not 100% happy with my sock, but I just need to find a different pattern to fit what I have in my brain! So ya I'm hooked on socks!!!!
