HSKS 4: Hufflepuff cheer

Hufflepuff cheer

Dear Hufflepuffs,
I am currently designing house socks for all the Hogwarts houses and need a short (two worded) cheer for Hufflepuff. I have 'Soar Ravenclaw', 'Go Gryffindor' (though at the moment perhaps I would prefer 'Go Away Gryffindor!!!!), and 'Ssssslytherin', but haven't yet been inspired with anything for Hufflepuff. So I'm appealing for suggestions, and would greatly appreciate any you can offer.
Love to all (even Gryff's because I know you're nice really, and I'm just a sore loser!!)
Emma

P.S. Gryffindor loves you too!; March 15, 2008 at 8:48 AM
Jen said...: Can't wait to see them. I'll have to brainstorm and see what I can come up with. I'll let the Huffles know you need input.

Arabella Moody said...: even though I am a stinky omg gryffindor, I have an idea. "Hoorah Hufflepuff"; March 15, 2008 at 12:26 PM
Emma Wigworthy said...: Thank you Lily - that is a good idea! Any more like that?

It will not be quick - I have to knit all these before I can publish, hopefully before the next swap though. When I've finished the patterns they will be for sale at my Etsy store (Rumpelstiltskin) in PDF format. Sorry they won't be free - I'm trying to make the Wigworthy vault less echoey!! I will offer discount to HSKS swappers though.; March 15, 2008 at 12:45 PM
Arabella Moody said...: heh, nooooo. I rarely have good ideas. That was a post snitch adrenaline rush. LOL. The previous post was supposed to say stinky OLD gryffindor. Typing on my iPhone isn't easy. :(; March 15, 2008 at 4:44 PM
Helga Lovegoods said...: How about "Huzzah Hufflepuff!"; March 16, 2008 at 9:28 AM
Emma Wigworthy said...: Wow Helga - I think that will have to be it! I've even looked it up in Wiki - it is a cry of joy and approbation, used in literature since Shakespearean times. It is zingy, and does what I want. Thank you!!!; March 16, 2008 at 10:49 AM
Emma Wigworthy said...: P.S. I will send you a complimentary copy of the pattern when I've done it.; March 16, 2008 at 10:51 AM
Penelope of Flitwick said...: Helga that was a great name; March 16, 2008 at 8:20 PM
Helga Lovegoods said...: Wow..thanks so much Emma! I guess all of those lessons in Shakespeare finally paid off! LOL! Glad I could be of service...I just love Hufflepuff House!; March 19, 2008 at 1:16 PM
Brooke Knits said...: I can't wait to see the house socks. Very cool. What do you think the price range will be?? How about Whooo-raaaahh Hufflepuffs?; March 21, 2008 at 6:21 PM

HSKS - A History

First HSKS Swap
May 1 - June 21, 2007
53 Participated
3 Quidditch matches.
Used Swap-bot for Sign Ups and it was a disaster!
Note: Swap-bot is not good for complex swaps.
Prefects helped track scores.
Follow up not very good.
No Angel package program
Kept no record of bad swappers.
I supplied all prizes for Quidditch.

HSKS2
30 Participated
Only ran 5 weeks.
Began Sign-ups a week before the first swap ended because I was going on a trip and needed to fit the swap in before I left.
Changed from swap-bot sign ups to using a Bravenet form. Still lost some registration forms or some of the form information was missing and I had to do a lot of back-tracking.
Only 2 Quidditch matches because of the shortened swap time.
Follow up still terrible. Prefects a big part of any follow up that was accomplished. No Angel Package program.
1 person banned because they didn't fulfill the swap.
I supplied all prizes for Quidditch.

HSKS3
60 Participated
Ran from end of September '07 until Oct. 31st.
Used Bravenet forms again with same result from HSKS2.
Enlisted the help of Angels for the first time.
Two Angel packages sent.
Follow up still not very good.
Prefects a big part of any follow up that was accomplished.
1 person banned because they did not fulfill the swap.
I supplied most prizes for Quidditch. I had help from 3 swap members for two of the prizes.

HSKS4
Took a 2 month break from HSKS3.
83 Participating.
Running from Jan. 12 - April 4, 2008.
Registration strictly through email. Simplified my world immensely!
Updated my database to include posting follow up, ability to donate, bounced email notifications, banned swappers from previous swaps, delivery confirmation numbers, date packages were sent/received.
First secret HSKS.
Swap member decided to blog in character, so many participants followed suit. Character blogs have helped spread the frenzy.
Stricter guidelines on weekly posting. Used demerit system for the first time.
First time posting birthdays.
Created Common Rooms for chatting with huge success.
Wrote the Daily Prophet for the first time to keep swap members informed. Well received.
First time requiring delivery confirmation receipts.
Changed form to ask for prize donations and only 38% said that they could not help out with prizes.
