I am listening to the Half Blood Prince at work and this morning I was struck how sad it must of been for Narcissa to go to Snape over Draco.  A very disheartening feeling of doom knowing that your child is marked for death.  I couldn't imagine. 
I also remember how much I like that Dumbledore like reading knitting patterns!  I thought it was funny the first time I read HBP and that was before I was knitting! 
My status on my HSKS6 package is going pretty well except for the handmade item.  I think I am going to try something else or change the fiber.  I thought I could tuff out wool, but it has proven otherwise.  I have to wear long sleeves and the weather here is still into the 90s.  I have been so tired at night that I have been screwing up on it terribly.  I think if I use cotton or try a new project I would be happier.
I started Jack Skellington on Monday night!  I worked last night until 8pm and since I was on the Circ Desk I could knit.  I got him mostly done while trying to read The Other Boleyn Girl, if that is the title?  He is cute!  I just have to problem solve the hands and do detail stitching and then I am done!  I also started on Zero last night.  I am not sure how I am going to make his brow slope...it is a pretty sharp slope.  Mine probably won't be quite right, but oh well.  The next character will be Oogy Boogy, R keeps asking for him.  Go figure, a 3 year old liking Oogy Boogy.
