Thank you!

[alt_luna]

I wanted to say thank you to Sally-Anne Perks. At dinner, Ginny Weasley gave me the macrame bracelet you made for me. It's really lovely and such a surprise! She said that you told her that you made the beads woven into it out of pebbles you found down by the lake and transfigured into beads. I like how you picked out ones that had little bits of quartz, so they sparkle and shine.

My daddy always used to call me his magpie, because I like shiny things.

Belinda Dunstan has been teaching me how to knit House bookmarks. This gives me an excuse to try the Slytherin one. It will look like this in the front:






and this on the back:





I've making the Gryffindor one for Ginny and Lavender next.

Anyway, thank you so much for the bracelet. I should have your bookmark finished up tomorrow, and I can give it to you tomorrow night.

Cheers, Lovegood.

Ginny Weasley gave me some of her yarn. These bracelets were really popular at my village school a while back, they're very easy to make so since exams were canceled and I've mostly been sitting down by the lake with friends I've been trying out different colours and so on.

They do look pretty nift, Perks.

Can you do them with ribbon, or does it have to be yarn like that?

[alt_sally_anne]

I haven't done it with ribbon but I don't see why it wouldn't work. It would probably need to be thin ribbon. I think some sort of cord would work better, for a fancy version, because it's round instead of flat, if that makes sense.

I could make you one, if you want, but it would just be yarn because that's what I've got.

[alt_padma]

Oh, cheers, that'd be wiz.

I think I've got some lacing cord that would do. I'll give it to you at breakfast, if that's all right?

[alt_sally_anne]

Sure. I'll look for you then.

Those are just lovely, dear! Much fancier than the ones I learned to knit myself when I was at school. You say you have a Gryffindor pattern, too?

[alt_luna]

Yes, they look like this on one side:





and like this on the other:

[alt_luna]

I'd be happy to make one for you, if you like.

[alt_molly]

Wonderful! I would certainly treasure it if you sent me one, dear.
