Bookscarf Set
28 February 2008, Thursday 5:41 P GMT-08
Ever since I made my first bookscarf and wrote up the pattern for it, I have wanted to make more for myself. Early last year I finally got around to creating a complete set with colors from each of the four houses.
Exciting Harry Potter News

No, I'm not talking about the next Harry Potter movie premier or the final book release. The excitement actually begins a couple months earlier when Alison Hansel's _Charmed Knits: Projects for Fans of Harry Potter_ comes out in May.

A Slytherin, at Last!
12 August 2005, Friday 11:11 P GMT-08
My bookscarf gallery finally has representation from all houses! Melanie, who contributed the lovely book-style Ravenclaw bookscarf, saw that I was missing Slytherin and offered to knit one up to round out my gallery. [Click the thumbnail at left to

Returning to the Muggle World
19 July 2005, Tuesday 10:29 P GMT-08
I haven't been knitting or blogging much due to the arrival of a certain book on Saturday.
I had pre-ordered it through Amazon, and they guaranteed that I would receive it on the release date. True to their word, this appeared in my mailbox right
Harry Potter Bookscarf Pattern
5 July 2005, Tuesday 11:59 P GMT-08
I have long admired the house scarves worn in the Harry Potter films. Since I don't have much use for a woolly scarf here in San Diego, I decided to make this bookscarf in anticipation of the sixth book, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, being

This little bookmark is turning into quite the project. First, I discovered that only one round of the gold color looked pretty wimpy. As I unravelled, I took the opportunity to figure out that I was using about 16 inches of thread per round. I ad
Scarf Bookmark Notes

While surfing around, I came across this adorable crocheted Harry Potter Bookmark and thought it would be fun to knit one. I'm basically going to mimic the fantastically authentic-looking pattern over at atypically.knit for a mini version of t
