HiP and Silkie What do you make if you want a Harry Potter scarf, but don't want to buy 1000 yards of yarn or knit 57,000 stitches? Just make a skinny hip one and tie it around your waist!
And what do you do if you just want to try out a couple of colors of a special, silky yarn? Make a silk tie, that's what! I think I'm gonna try the next one in Elsebeth Lavold's Silky Wool. Mmmmmm....
Yes, that's right, new patterns are up! Hope you enjoy them. posted by alison at 12:49 am | in

Those patterns are cute! Thanks, Alison!!! Posted by: Jenny at August 25, 2005 3:02 AMTHANKS!! Thanks very much, the new pattern look great.

Posted by: Karen in Toronto at August 25, 2005 7:25 AMThose are adorable. I can just see Hermione wearing them as a dash of House solidarity while she's wearing her Muggle clothes. Posted by: jenn at August 25, 2005 8:10 AMIs there a start date for the knitalong?? I'd suggest right AFTER the sockapal2za shipping date, so that we don't forget about our socks...
