More HPKCHC Madness

I've really been enjoying the Harry Potter Knitting Crochet House Cup. Not just for the comraderie or the great project prompts, but for the chance to practice my creative writing skills.

My House gave a challenge to knit or crochet Alot. Since I'm such a grammar nerd and love making absurd toys, I couldn't resist.

I had in mind to free-form (utter FAIL when I tried to create a repeatable pattern) with a button for a snaggletooth. As I was looking through my button box, I was inspired by some of the shapes, and thought this could be a great submission for Transfigurations (the prompt being to turn a beetle to a button and use in a pattern).

As I was beginning to submit and look at the prompt again, I realized that my vision probably wouldn't meet the standards of the class. My thinking is that a flaw can be reworked a feature.

I submitted the following:

Professor, I think I made a mistake.

I did find a button beetle:



And I did manage to transform it into a button for my project:



But the transformation kept going ... it turned itself into a tooth!



Before I knew it I had a lot ... or rather Alot on my hands!



Oh, Professor, I know Ravenclaw is doing an Alot-Along, but this is ridiculous! I can't seem to undo it!

I guess I just have [slightlyfoxed's Alot on my plate](/projects/slightlyfoxed/alot-on-my-plate). ::sob::
