It's not too big to go on top of laundry in a basket. Besides, she's a wizard, and could presumably put a shrinking spell on it and carry it in a pocket if she wanted.lostartshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08981466177675951473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7460156502139416637.post-91677062984315324932007-03-15T02:41:00.000-07:002007-03-15T02:41:00.000-07:00If you really hate all that stokinette, let me kno...If you really hate all that stokinette, let me know what kind of scarf you want, and I'll make one for you. Send me the yarn and I'll knit it and send it back. But after the KAL. <BR/><BR/>I want to do a S.P.E.W. Hat, complete with elf ears, and Molly's sweater for the second part of the KAL.<BR/><BR/>CoS did follow the book as well as a movie could, and the knits in it were spectacular.<BR/><BR/>I just loved the scene of breakfast at the burrow. I felt like I had come home, too.<BR/><BR/>And Molly's sleeves are awesome! I fell in love with them instantly.<BR/><BR/>I loved that it followed the book, which all the first three movies did.<BR/><BR/>The people doing the movies really have tried hard. A normal length movie is really about a novella in written length.<BR/><BR/>You can look at the length of the movies compared to the books, and the first three compare closely. But when you realize that it took about 3 hours to cram in all of PoA, and then you look at the book for GoF, you know they'll never get it all in. And that particular problem just gets worse as the series continues.<BR/><BR/>I'm really looking forward to the OotP movie! The obstacles for Harry just get bigger and bigger.<BR/><BR/>I've got about 6 inches done on the bottom of the Weasley sweater. <BR/><BR/>My daughter called and said her first initial is H, so she really could use a sweater just like Harry's. She's 43, and can knit, by the way. And that's what I told her. I think part of the reason we're friends is that when she was born, I decided that I was her mom, not a personal servant, so I gave her every opportunity to grow up.<BR/><BR/>I'm still deciding what to put on the front of the sweater. At this point, the snitch is winning. I was in the Air Force and learned to fly. Flying is one of my favorite things, so I feel more and more that the snitch is what I should put on it.<BR/><BR/>It just hit me. I don't think Mrs. Weasley ever knitted a sweater for Hermione, but if she had, should it have her initial in ancient runes? <BR/><BR/>But if memory serves (I'd have to look this up) I think the equivalent of an H looks close to a real H.lostartshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08981466177675951473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7460156502139416637.post-16891321669139413812007-03-14T23:47:00.000-07:002007-03-14T23:47:00.000-07:00I have heard that most people like COS best, but I...I have heard that most people like COS best, but I liked it the least. I was not into the whole serpant slithering around thing, squimish.<BR/><BR/>I love the magic knitting needles and wished that I had some to whip out a House scarf. The thought of miles and miles of stockinette frightens me to boredom, but I want one so bad that I will subcomb this summer I know.<BR/><BR/>The comment about Crabbe/Goyle I interrupted more as they were just dumb jocks like dumb moutain folks that I grew up with than lack of wizard ed. I never thought of it that way. But, it does make you wonder, where did wizard get pre-Hogwart's education. I would love to see JRK produce some books on all the backstories. <BR/><BR/>And really, what is the purpose of a rubby duckie??Scarletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12858754035748601787noreply@blogger.com
