ahhh, 220 superwash #855, my old friend

Eileen's Gryffindor house hat (from my Nikolaus giveaway) is almost done! It's been just like old times, knitting with those oh so familiar maroon and gold yarns again, following the very first pattern I wrote for the book. It's a shame that the sixth movie is coming out in the summer - no hats, no sweaters, no scarves. I'll have to come up with something new....

My ears perked up at the "something new"! I loved the cover right off of my copy of Charmed Knits. Great hat too!

I've seen photos from "Half Blood Prince" and a pattern for a Hermione cable and YO hat here and there on the net. Maybe you could get an early start for fall '09?

Someone actually already came up with a pattern for the new Hermione hat, you can find it on her blog:

Oops! I didn't see you had already seen patterns for it.
Sorry!

Maybe they'll want felted book bags or "wand pouches."

I'm thinking Invisibility Shawl for summer. I guess NBAT with the Hallows on it won't be appropriate 'till the 7th and 8th movies.

Summer release = air conditioned theater. So it may still be chilly enough in the theater for knits. :)

It's so cold in the theaters here in the summer I generally bring a sweater along. So hat and scarf aren't too far off!

I love it. And I just today finished my version of your book's pattern "Molly Weasley's Amazing Technicolor Housecoat"---and I plan on wearing it to the next Harry Potter movie even if it does come out in summertime!!
