most crafts i can't do bec. of vision & hand-eye coordination problems, but i can (and do) and LOVE latch hook weaving. Wish i could draw so i could create/design my own HP latchhook crafts! HP crafts is such a neat, fun idea, tho'!--granfan

Latch hook is one craft that I haven't seen in the HP craftdom! What a wonderful idea.
 Would some of the charts we have work for that? Needlework charts are in this section. -------------------- sewhooked, the home of Harry Potter Paper Piecing by Jennifer Ofenstein

ofenjen,
Thanks! i think that just might work! i'll try it & let you know (eventually) haven't done any latchhook weaving (it's the only "craft" i can even do. LOL)!--in quite awhile; hard to explain why. Thanks again--granfan |

ofenjen,
How can/do i let you see whatever "crafts/designs" i come up with--on a computer? i'm not totally computer-illiterate; i can get in & out of e-mail, etc., but i've never done anything like designs/graphics.--granfan |

If your designs are drawn, you can scan them and e-mail it to us (crafts@the-leaky-cauldron.org). You can also e-mail us a picture of the final result, either taken with a digi cam or with a normal cam, then scanned. If you used some kind of program to make the design (some people use Word, Excel, or a jpeg), you can e-mail that too.
We'll be able to open the document, see what you've done, and convert the file format if need be. I really can't wait to see what you've made! It really sounds awesome, and as Jen said, we haven't seen much latchhook HP stuff... In fact I don't think I remember seeing anything! -------------------- |

Hey. I was referred to this topic after posting in the wrong forum.
 I would like to know if you could help me find a recipe to make ink for quills. I saw Regia.com (or something similar to that name) and I can't understand that recipe. So, can you help? Thanks! -------------------- I do believe in: Jesus (I'm Christian), fate, miracles, pro-life, abstinence.
I don't believe in: magic (it's fiction!), luck, abortion, the Islamic law (thank God I live in America). People tell me I'm too mature for a boy my age, and articulate, too, but I like it that way. It's nice to see things outside of that average semi-perverse teenage outlook. |

I have never made ink myself, and though I did see the page you mentionned (this one, unless I'm mistaken), you're quite right in saying the first recipe is complicated... Reminds me of Snape's OWL potions classes!
Reading a little further down however, I did see a recipe made with egg whites, soot and honey... I'd try that one if I were you! And if you can't manage to get it right, check your local crafts store for China ink... it's better than nothing, and it comes in a variety of colours. -------------------- |

If you crochet a blanket using the basic stitch you may then cross stitch (using yarn) any Harry Potter pattern on it that you like. The basic stich gives you squares as guides.
