Mini Gryffindor Socks

These are cute, they're going on my Christmas tree. I got the patterns from here: http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/features/crafts/knitting

I may have tweaked them in the odd place. I think the lion doesn't look too bad, certainly could be better but I've never attempted to do it on 3needles before. I also prefer to work from the bottom of the chart up, but the pattern called for it top down.

Golden Snitch Hat

Yay! This is my first hat! I got the pattern from here: http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/features/crafts/knitting/goldensnitchhat

It's easy enough. I made a couple of alterations, like using 5mm DPN's for the ear flaps, and added tassles (I love tassles!) I can't wait for winter so I can wear this.

This was the first time I've picked up stitches, so it's all educational.

Gryffindor Scarf Bookmark

Yay for this, my first knitting in the round project! Only little but ah well, and it's the first time I've ever tassled anything! As a bookmark it works best with paperbacks. I've started collecting alternate cover art for the Harry Potter books, this Chamber of Secrets is one of them. The pattern is from Charmed Knits, but in all honesty, it is a really simple pattern.

Gryffindor Bag WIP

Here's something I'm working on right now. It's a Gryffindor fair isle bag. Right now I'm working on the strap. I got the pattern for it here: http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/features/crafts/knitting/housecrestfairislebag
Plus that book in the background, Charmed Knits by Alison Hansel, is such a good project book for Harry Potter fans!

The reason I'm knitting this is I'm a Harry Potter nerd. I have been since the books first came out. I'm intending to use this bag when I got to see Deathly Hallows.

The Golden Snitch

Because I'm such a Harry Potter nerd. I got the pattern here: http://knittedtoybox.blogspot.com/2008/07/golden-snitch.html
I love playing Seeker with it :D

Deathly Hallows Wrist Band

I know I meant to upload these sooner, but something came up. This is a Deathly Hallows Sweat Band I made for myself. I'm such a Harry Potter fan, I have this symbol tattoo'd on my arm, it was my first tattoo when I turned 18. Initially this was chart practice, but I expanded the band to fit my wrist.
Actually this is my 2nd attempt at doing this as a wrist band, my first attempt was too big due to needle sized, so I used smaller needles and this fits perfectly.
