What a great looking scarf! With the book 6 coming out I've been inspired to add the Ravenclaw scarf to my list. Posted by: Brooke at July 7, 2005 10:40 AMHi Allison! The HP scarf looks great! My little sister is getting married on July 16-think I can make it to Barnes & Noble before the ceremony to pick up my copy of The Half Blood Prince? Just wanted to send you an up date on my sockapal-2-za project...I've purchased some pretty blue Trekking XXL for the socks and I'm planning to make ankle socks with pompoms. I was adapting a pattern of Ann Budd's, but now I think I'll try your pattern instead. Wish me luck-with a 4 month old in the house, knitting is SLOW! -Katie O. Posted by: Katie O. at July 7, 2005 11:26 AMI'm also looking forward to Book 6! Sakes, that's some scarf! Ok, so I have 9 days to read 5 and save up some money... Posted by: Vicki at July 7, 2005 12:21 PMYeah, Harry Potter! Can you post the yarn info so the obsessed among us can have scarfy fun, too? Posted by: Jody at July 7, 2005 12:23 PMHow funny, I just saw this pattern this morning. It looks like the Sorting Hat to me. http://www.coatsgmbh.de/de/1/strboxhexenhut.html Posted by: Christie at July 7, 2005 12:26 PMOoh. This means I have only 9 days left to learn how to read and knit at the same time. Pointless to try, I guess. My poor yarn will be lonely while I lavish the book with attention. :-) Posted by: Rebekkah at July 7, 2005 12:26 PMThere will be no knitting in my house on the 16th or the next couple of days. I pre-ordered the book in January... Posted by: Tari at July 7, 2005 12:33 PMThe scarf is looking wonderful,and I can't wait for Half-Blood Prince, either! I'll start OOTP on Saturday (I've been reading one each Saturday for the last four weeks), and then sit and twiddle my thumbs--possibly with some yarn and needles involved--until book six comes out on Saturday, at which time, I can tell you, there will be NO KNITTING until the book is finished! Posted by: Deb at July 7, 2005 1:45 PMWow, is that really a scarf! That sucker's HUGE! I can't wait until it comes out too! I've had it pre-ordered since, oh, last year sometime. Yay for HP! Posted by: Sarah at July 7, 2005 2:01 PMLove the scarf! I plan on working on mine while I'm waiting for midnight - in my Marauder's t-shirt, lol. After that, all knitting may be abandoned for the book! :) Posted by: Holly at July 7, 2005 4:25 PMlove the scarf, and the toes, too cool. I just ripped the bag that I was working on back to the casting on. Not happy, oh well this is what learning is all about. Posted by: Pammi at July 7, 2005 6:14 PMI love it!!! Posted by: michele at July 7, 2005 6:58 PMI just reread 5 and am impatiently waiting for 6. Can it get here soon enough? Posted by: Kathleen at July 7, 2005 8:00 PMOh man, I still need to read the last few books! I am so far behind! I still can't wait though :) Posted by: Dani at July 7, 2005 8:11 PMit's looking fabulous! cracks me up, you sound like my sister... she re-read #5 to make sure she remembers every detail for the sixth :) Posted by: rebecca at July 7, 2005 9:06 PMHoly cow! That's one HEALTHY scarf. Your picture made me laugh, thanks. Posted by: laurie at July 8, 2005 11:07 AMJust joined the online "knitting community" - LOVE the scarf. I've been knitting to the Audio of FOUR and FIVE to be ready for the new book. Hooray! I think I'm going to have to knit that scarf.... hmm.... Posted by: Whit at July 10, 2005 12:14 AM |
