Harry Potter madness!

So you guys already know that I love Harry Potter from the HP scarf patterns I put up a long time ago (here).  There’s new HP material up now, but the new stuff is knitted!  Click here to see 3 different hats Hermione wore during the movies, 1 scarf (pictured above), Neville’s sweater from the last movie, and even a large plushie Hedwig!  These are the most true-to-the-movies patterns out there that I could find that actually look good.

For my crocheting followers, I’m working on another baby blanket and should be done in a couple of weeks, so look out for that!  I also may try to find some crochet versions of the HP knitting patterns.

more ornaments

So I’m ornament happy — I made a snowflake one!  The pattern for the snowflake is found here, and I just attached it to another cheap bangle from Wal-Mart!

makin’ some ornaments

I made this tonight out of crochet thread size 10, a 1/B hook, and a bangle that I got in a set in the Wal-Mart jewelry section.  Cheap, pretty, AND homemade, these would be great gifts!  This one was started out as a granny square, then turned into a circle.  Both the square and the circle patterns are on this site, so you can make these yourself!  I’m gonna make some more — they’re so pretty!

filet baby blanket

I made this in a couple of days for a girl at school — she wanted something to give to her new nephew for Christmas!  It’s a little narrow — she wants me to make another one for her niece so I’ll probably add more height to the next one.  In case you can’t tell, it says Noah.  🙂

new hat and scarf pair

So I finished that scarf I was knitting, and I made a hat out of the same yarn!  This is my first knitted hat, and my first time knitting in the round with a circular needle and double pointed needles, so the top part where I was decreasing doesn’t look as good as the rest.  My ribbed stitch could also use some work — it’s very loose.  That’s ok though, I’m proud of my first attempt at knitting a hat!
