You are so right. I did some butt work and found two very good patterns on the net. I totally understand your feelings about mucking up the pattern and then having to frog. I'm going to the 5th International Quidditch World Cup, 11-13 november 2011 in NYC. I shall be meeting 3 friends there and I am...

Lots of chit-chat there girls but where's a photo of this famous knitted tardis? I want to knit one too. And a pattern might be nice!

Hey there all. I was just in NYC (Feb13-21) for a week of business and pleasure (mostly business which ended up being quite pleasureable) and I brought along with me all 3 of the washcloths that I made in Magical Muggle Knitting last term. In NYC I met up with another HOLer, Hufflepuff first year Cl...

On the side I'm rereading Jane Austen's Emma , and for a reason I can't explain I'm going through the HP series ba...

There seems to be a tendency to starve in books these days: City of Ember, Hunger Games, Gone. I wonder if that has a...

QUOTE (Trevor Williams @ Jul 28 2010, 02:14 AM) So for school I should be reading A Tree Grows In Brooklyn by Betty Smith, but so far I haven't started it yet. It doesn't really appeal to me... That's not surprising. I read it about a b'zillion years ago and liked it quite a bit at the time. It was...

Jodi Picoult "House Rules". Could you give a 25 words or less description of the plot? And if you think you'll finish it.

I read a review about The Hunger games with which I have to agree: The Twilght books came out at the exact same time and stole everybody's thunder. There were a whole bunch of critics who think the Hunger Games should not be compared to the Twilight series because Twilight sucks. The woman can not w...

QUOTE (Gustavo Flores @ Jul 12 2010, 07:42 AM) Today I finished reading Blindness by José Saramago, a portuguese writer. A pretty enjoyable read and thought provoking! Hey, Gus. Saramago is quite the writer. It's almost a month since is death, may he rest in peace. So sad. I am reading the City of...

Gertrudis is broken into 3 syllables: Ger => the "ge" is a gutteral spanish "j" so it sounds like "hair" but with a rattle in the throat. Tru => this is where the accent goes "true" Dis => "dees" GerTRUdis Leheureux is broken into 2 syllables: Leheu => "lay" Reux => "roo" as in kangaroo, this is whe...

My name is Gertrudis Leheureux. I live in spain and chose the spanish form of Gertrude which means "strong spear". I like to think of myself as someone that you can depend upon, loyal, true, a real Girl Guide or a golden labrador. In fact if I were a dog, I'd most definitely be a golden lab. I also ...

Traditionally, there has been a total lack of original juvenile literature in Spain. Not until recently, primarilly in the wake of the success of the Harry Potter series, has the youngest generation of Spanish authors dedicated their talent to kiddie lit. The Harry Potter series wasn't translated or...
