	Mommy's been missing all the Harry Potter fun from last year. She's picked up the needles and hooks again, and is in the process of stockpiling HP-themed wearables for.....you guessed it! MORE CONTESTS!!! Stay tuned, we're in the process of arranging the first one! Rondus Dumbledachs

	Hi guys, My apologies. I did promise more contests and prizes, but after a few really horrible experiences with giving away handmade items here on Dogster, I've decided not to do these contests again. They were a lot of fun, but I put a LOT of time and effort into all the handmade things I create. I also sink a lot of expense into the yarns and into postage. Whenever I hear no response from the person I've gifted the item to, or whenver someone writes to me telling me that it's not quite the color they would like best, can I redo it...it really hurts. I was also very upset by the way some people reacted to the way I ran the Triwizard Cup. I tried SO hard to make it fair, but some of the nasty pmails I got really put a damper on what should have been a fun thing. My life and career are very stressful, and the last thing I want is for my release to become stressful too. That's why, after careful thought, I've decided not to go through with the contests again this year. My feelings were really hurt after the last couple of times I gave things away, and if I want to feel unappreciated and used I get that at work every day . I know I promised earlier that I would do it, but unfortunately my bad experiences with giving things away on this site far outweigh the good ones.

	Sorry to hear the negative response you received! I would hope people realized how time consuming it is to MAKE a gift for someone instead of purchasing something generic at the store!

	That makes me pretty angry to hear that your bad experiences out number your good I completely understand where you are coming from though, nobody wants Dogster to be a stressful thing. We were so happy to recieve a scarf from you last year! I can't believe that people can be so unappreciative

	Awww, Rondo! I'm so sorry to hear that!! People should be more considerate, darn it! I can understand your decision to not do the contests, but I can't pretend I'm not disappointed, since I missed the whole first round of them. Not to worry, though. Unlike my namesake in the books, I'll live.

	Awww that's so sad that people have to be so disrespectful of your effort, Rondo. I love Ris' scarf and it made it easy to decide what she should be for Halloween last year.

	Hey Rondo, I'm currently learning how to knit, any tips or things you would recommend? Where did you find your HP themed templates/patterns? I hope you didn't let the events here prevent you from keeping up with something you seem to enjoy! Amanda & Sirius
