Blogathon, Potterthon, and a Horcrux
Have you heard about Blogathon? It’s a way for bloggers to band together and raise money for charities. This year I’m part of a group blog called Potterthon — you guessed it, all about Harry Potter. Don’t worry, though: we have a strict spoiler-free policy for Deathly Hallows!
We’re going to take shifts during Blogathon to entertain the masses while we raise money for First Book. Here’s the mission of First Book, straight from their website:
First Book is a nonprofit organization with a single mission: to give children from low-income families the opportunity to read and own their first new books. We provide an ongoing supply of new books to children participating in community-based mentoring, tutoring, and family literacy programs.
You can still support Potterthon by going here and registering to sponsor us.
I’ll start adding my posts in later today, and I have a feeling that I’ll be focusing on knitting patterns. I do love knitting patterns, you know.
Speaking of knitting patterns, I did NOT get my Horcrux socks finished in time for the big ol’ Harry-fest in the middle of this month. I have one sock finished and the other sock started, but there just wasn’t enough time to get the second one finished. Maybe I’ll work on that today as part of my Potterthon …
I’m also tempted to whip up some sort of knit wizard hat and slap it on Clive, just to see what the poor cat would do!
