"Hello, campers! This week we will be knitting!" Tick said once everyone was around. "This isn't knitting just for the sake of knitting, though. Nay, chums! We're knitting because of a cause brought to my attention by Hermione Granger here!"

Where she comes from, there seem to be a race of house elves enslaved by the school. The only way they can be free is to be given clothes. And so we're going to be knitting hats. If you choose not to participate in the actual protest part of the class for your own reasons, that's fine. You can keep any hats you make and do what you want with them: sell them, give them away, or light them on fire in a safe manner after filing the proper permits. The patterns I've provided are nice and simple so you can make as many as you can or want. Feel free to improvise, though. On the calendar of creativity, improvisation is the weekend; it's filled with a much stuff as you can work into it before it's over!"

"You each have several colors of yarn, needles, and your own wits! Use these tools well!"

"If you would like any hats to go to Hogwarts, please put them in this box at the front for shipping overseas! Thank you all for whatever help you can give!"

"For your scrapbooks this week, we'll be focusing on the memories of each other in this workshop. More specifically, we'll be generating more of those memories! Open your scrapbook to a blank page. That page will be for the other students here to work on. They can add text, pictures, whatever they think will help you remember them or this workshop. You don't have to add to everyone's, but you should add something to at least one person's book."

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Leave a comment to open up your scrapbook, then reply to someone else's comment describing what you added! Add to as many as you'd like!

Alec opened his scrapbook to the next blank page and pushed it out to the middle of the table for anyone to sign if they so chose.

Hermione draws a little house elf, wearing a hat, to commemorate today. The girl is not much of an artist.

Jamie had missed class last week but he had updated his scrapbook with pictures of weird men with really big smiles and the words "Silent Scream".

That page of course was covered as Jamie had opened a fresh new page for anyone or everyone to sign.

Jamie gets two house elves, because of the duplicating thing.

Molly wrote, MEERKATS RULE! in big pink letters in Jamie's scrapbook.

Alec drew an arrow pointing to Molly's picture and wrote "Not as much as Seahorse!" with a little doodle of said animal beside it. Cabin pride, yo.

Hermione's pages aren't exactly blank, because they're all numbered, but she opens to the next consecutive page so that people can draw and write.

Jamie draws a picture of elves wearing hats breaking their chains of slavery.

Actually he's a horrible artist so it may look like two frogs with hats eating a very thin cheeseburger.

Alec doodled a shirt with a circle around it and a slash across, signifying the Seahorse cabin motto, not that Hermione necessarily knew that. He signed just beneath it as well, in the interest of making sure she'd remember him later.

Jude found a blankish page - there were some doodles running up the side, designs for a new skateboard maybe - and slid it to the middle of the table before twirling a marker around his finger and looking for someone else's to deface. Er, sign.

Molly opened her scrapbook to a blank page and left it for the others to work on.

Alec drew a weetiny seahorse and signed his name beside it.

Broots left his scrapbook open to a blank page.
