A contest, of sorts
So! I promised a contest! Here we go! (finally!)
As you know, I visited home the week before last. It was... an interesting visit, and I ran out of knitting and needed comfort knitting (knitting is my anti-drug!). I had a printout of this amazing pattern, but no yarn or needles. The JoAnn in town didn't have the right kind of yarn, either, but they did have some bulky maroon yarn, and I had the right size needles for that. So, instead of a cell cozy, I ended up with a Nintendo DS cozy! The only problem is that, around here, all the people with DS's don't like HP, and all the people who like HP don't have DS's.
Here's where you come in!
To enter this contest, you must (1) have a Nintendo DS, (2) like Harry Potter/Ron Weasley enough to use a Weasley sweater DS case, and (3) tell me what colors all the other Weasleys get for their sweaters. Now, I know that some of them are mentioned in the book -- all I could find on a cursory examination was maroon for Ron and blue for the twins, but I only checked the first book. I'm sure that some of you are much more crazed about this than I am ;) Also, I'm quite willing to hear your personal opinions. Maybe everyone got different colored sweaters each year, and only Ron always got maroon (poor Ron!). Though, if Ma Weasley is anything like my mom, she tried desperately to keep them to set colors.
So! Reply here, or email me (naiadATihateyouallandwishyouwoulddieDOTcom), and ... well, the end of the month is coming up soon. At the end of the month I'll pick someone and you get a crappy Nintendo DS case ;) What? It's my first contest! I'll do better next time, I promise!
Here is the Weasley Sweater DS case
With DS for Comparison
It's a bit of a snug fit, but it does fit nicely. (haha! If you look closely, near the bottom, you can see the part I knitted while I was talking to my mom! She really cranked up my tension!)
The handy wrist strap makes it easy to carry, and also a fun cat toy! (Perhaps I should add (4) you shouldn't be allergic to cats.)
