THANK YOU!
(And my other peeve is that they always do the blue and silver movies colors instead of blue and bronze from the book!)

There are places on Etsy that will make book specific Ravenclaw merch, for the record.

At least Ravenclaw GETS merch... us Puffs are usually left out.

Yeah, but Etsy can also be a bit out of my price range for the items I would want....
XD

<3 Now I'm a proper bumblebee

Yeah... Etsy is usually out of my price range for most things. I'm willing to pay artists and artisans for things when I can afford it, but most the time I can only gawk on and tell them how lovely they are.

Tbh, I pretty much only buy lip balms on Etsy. Although there are some super cute crocheted "dragon scale" fingerless gloves...from many sellers that I want to buy if I ever have the money for.

Oooh....now I need to check my jump rings. Because I can maybe make bracelets too, although I think my yellow and black jump rings are different sizes, which could be a minor issue.

;u; I wish I had money to buy the lovely things on Etsy I've found.

My favorited items "wishlist" says SAME.
XD
Too many pretty things!

I mean, depending on how different the sizes are you could do some cool chainmaille weaves.

Apparently those dragon scale gloves are "easy to make" according to a friend that crochets, but that's probably easy if you've been crocheting for a bazillion years, not for a beginner.

I mean, I have examined them carefully and definitely they seem pretty easy. But I struggle with just basic single crochet washcloths right now, so there's no way I could make them.
And while there is a similar "crocodile stitch" for loom knitting, it doesn't have the same look, so I can't really even improvise with that.
But I wanna be a softer dragon mom sometimes...not always metal scales... *pouts*

;u; I have no sewing/knitting/crocheting skills...*cannot contribute*
But a soft dragon mom is just as nice as metal dragon mom. ^-^ You be soft Kaderin!*gathers a bunch of steam from the sauna to inhale and exhale like a smoky dragon* -w- <3

I legit do have some badass loom knit scalemaille gauntlets/fingerless gloves that I wear in the winter.
Armored dragon mom.
But I need soft ones I can wear at home.

I have legitimately picked up crochet and knitting to make my own geek stuff. But so far I didn't get around to try the dragonscale stitch, even though it's on my to-do list since months. There are so many interesting uses for it. Dice bags, gloves, even a mermaid blanket if you got the patience (I don't).

My new years resolution will be to finally acquaint myself with the cnc mill in our local fablab, to make even more DIY fan merch.

I’m also Slytherin/Wampus, though my Ilvermorny placement is a little odd. Wampus is the last house I’d have thought I’d be in.

Wampus is exactly where I hoped I'd be. Really I was hoping for Ravenclaw or even Hufflepuff. But I got a great set of longjohns today that sort of fit Wampus! They're mostly black and white with kitties everywhere, and a green buttflap that says Meowy Catmas! If it ever actually gets cold in the house, I now have the perfect remedy!

Ravenclaw/Pukwudgie here Im not too surprised by my house placements in either.

I don't know my Ilvermorny house yet...
