An excuse to spin up the stuff I just bought...

So, there was a huge yarn sale at Uniquities on MemDay. I got a bag of grey cotton, a bag of green alpaca, another bag of green cotton, and a bag of fluff. If any of the HPKCHC classes lend themselves to spinning stuff, I'm going to try to spin up that entire bag of fluff during the course of June.

So, let's look at the class list, which went up yesterday:
Care of Magical Creatures - Using a Ravelry approved craft, use one of the three options to a) create something jewel-like, b) create a cauldron or container, or c) create something to protect you from fire.

Charms - Be exact, be precise, be faultless - show us you can follow directions without making personal changes.

DADA - Students will use one of the class options to create something that a) reveals a truth about their character, b) is dull, difficult or will cause pain, or c) can be used to bind and secure an opponent.

Divination - a) Craft something that makes use of “negative space” in the design; b) that can be viewed or used two or more different ways, or c)Interpret the prophecy that Professor HelenHandbasket just made (see Rav for details).

Herbology - a) Craft something that is a new challenge for you; b) craft something that needs an explanation; c) craft something totally inappropriate to wear as jewelry; d) craft something upside down.

History of Magic - Using any Rav craft, create a finished object to represent something to help you while confronting an unknown Task, to symbolize a new Triwizard Task, or in honor of your chosen HPKCHC Champion.

Muggle Studies - Craft a Doll, something for a Doll, or a “Doll-like” stuffed creature. Spin doll hair (measured by WPI).

Transfiguration - Summary: 1) Steeks. 2) Use scissors to make something new. 3) Make something inspired by scissors (sell it!). 4) Spin or Dye yarn for a colorwork and/or steeked project!
Looks like My Spinning Fluffystuff will work for Herbology. So, um, I guess I should start?
