I told you it was dangerous....

Do you remember the Victoria and Albert museum website with the pattern generator? And that I said it was Dangerous? Here's why....

One Gorgeous, lovely, beautiful Fred Weasley.

One Victoria and Albert Museum Pattern.

After 10 rows... You can't really tell, can you?

15 rows.... Beginning to see it...

Yes! Definitely there at 20 rows!

Ta Da!!! Isn't he gorgeous!

So, 4 hours, a load of confusion, several scraps of wool and two knitting needles later, I have my lovely Fred Weasley. I was determined. And that is Dangerous.

Look what I found!

I found these in a drawer the other day while clearing my cupboards out

I made that! About two years ago.... It used to work, all of the electric wiring's etc. It's a steady hand game whereby you have to get all the way across the metal loop without touching it with the handle. If you did, a little LED in the wand lit up. Unfortunately, it doesn't work anymore, one of the components has snapped off and i can't remember where it goes. I made it in school, in woodwork, and I was very proud of it, as it was one of the only projects that I made that ACTUALLY ever a) got finished or b) worked.

This is a wooden 'jumping toy'. It was meant to be a golden snitch, but I didn't finish this one, and it never worked anyway...

The top always fell off because it was too heavy. This picture shows the 'mechanics' behind it - two circles bouncing up and down (I can't remember the correct term for it). Either way, it failed. Dramatically.

So, unfortunately, these will be finding their way to the recycling/rubbish bin as I can't see any more use for them. Shame, but I wanted to archive them anyway.
