I would be lying if I said I wasn’t the least bit excited that THE last Harry Potter book and THE newest Potter movie were both coming out this month. I’m just wild about Harry. (DR Boy doesn’t get this fascination at ALL, and you would think that he would being the professional magician and all. sigh.)
Apparently, if I said I was on a total knitting hiatus, that would be a lie too, because I managed to finish this over the weekend:
A Harry Potter Necktie!
No, it was not from Charmed Knits: Projects for the Fans of Harry Potter (which I do own by the way.) I did however manage to muddle (hee hee, that sounds like muggle) my way through this hipscarf for my friend Fox:
Yes, those ARE Gryffindor colors, baby! I had to weave in about a million ends, but the stripey effect was well worth the effort. Both were made with good ol’ Cascade 220. The necktie pattern was stumbled across somewhere online. I will be donning the tie (and my old black graduation robe which is finally coming in handy) at some event that I’ll be working next week in celebration of — the movie? — the book? I just don’t know, but I’m excited about both so woo-hoo.
Yes, I’ll be the oldest English schoolgirl on the planet.
Bite me.
