New knitting project and prompt 'winners'

Once the yarn arrives, I have a new project. For me! And I have pictures!

And I did draw from the four possibilities from my recent round of 'please supply me with prompts.' I'm realizing just how disengaged many on my flist are from the fandoms I'm still somewhat active in. It's that or people are moving away from LJ in general or engrossed in their own lives, they're in newer, shinier fandoms, or some combination thereof. I feel a bit out of kilter myself, though it's primarily because I've been so singularly focused on my rewrite, now in the hands of a few previewers. It's been a rough year for many people, though, and I can understand a moving away from stuff.

At any rate, the two 'winners' from the prompts provided to me (thank you to those who did offer suggestions!) are these:
~ from brumeux77: How about a little Neville and (*ponders*) Percy. Accidental meeting in a Muggle location. Florist? Theater? Polo game? Ogling a swimming competition? Glastonbury (Muggle and wizard!)?

~ from elfscribe5: Oh gad, I'm so in the Wraeththu head right now, that I could use a break, so Slavebreakers -- Bran/Yves with a side of Holden.

So now I have something new to write! Yay!! Because it's a full month until the revived ginger_lust will post sign-ups and prompts and all of that. I'm thrilled that it's been resuscitated and that I can participate without being a mod. ;)

Meme from sexyscholar

1. Anyone who looks at this entry has to post this meme and their current wallpaper at their LiveJournal.
2. Explain in five sentences why you're using that wallpaper!
3. Don't change your wallpaper before doing this! The point is to see what you had on.

What I actually find even more fascinating then people's wallpaper is what programs are on their desktops, what kind of windows s/he has open, and how her/his desktop organizing is done. After a few months doing product support at Rosetta Stone and occasionally doing remote access into people's computers, this really intrigued me.
