Everything edited out because it was getting repititious (sp?)



Hmmm...I too am going to have to agree with those who say it was a good thing 
to go on the trip to Egypt.  Whether there was an ulterior motive for it, I 
don't know.

However, I must say one thing about Mrs. Weasley and knitting and time.  In my 
experience, that IS a time-consuming effort.  For Christmas, I crochet 
Gryffindor,Slytherin, etc scarves for my friends who are HP fans.  I only get a 
few done a year because of all my time commitments between 3 jobs and going to 
school full-time, however, it is just a scarf, and there is little 
concentration behind it.  I don't have to worry about sizes or the fit of 
sweaters.  But still it takes me about 5 hours to crochet one 4 foot long 
scarf, without tassels...and that is without breaks and crocheting relatively 
fast.  A sweater requires MUCH more effort.  And Mrs. Weasley does lettering 
and pictures on some of them.  I would imagine it takes her quite a while to 
make just one.  And she does it for at least 5 of her children annually.  I 
applaud Mrs. Weasley for her efforts, I couldn't do it.

Anyway that's my 2 knuts....
