Lots of Knitting!

I have knitted up a ton of Harry Potter related objects. I also managed to read the sixth book. I have once again started with the first and plan on reading the series again before the release of the seventh book. I think I will start off with my comments from the book, then go on to knitting.

First, wouldn't Voldemort have put curses on Harry if he was being used as a Horcrux? There were curses on the other ones.
Second, does Harry still want to become an Auror? If he does won't he have to go back to Hogwarts for his final year?

That was all I could come up with for this book. On to my knitting. First off, here is my owl: Isn't he adorable! I finished him up the same day I started him. (that is the second). However, I could not think up a name for him. Any suggestions?

I have also knitted up a mini sweater for my uncle for Christmas. I didn't add the embroidery because I don't think he reads Harry Potter. Awful, I know. I also made a little Ravenclaw bookmark for me, which you can see below.


I also knitted up a baby hat, using the Tea Cozy Crown. It is soooooo cute. I used navy for the body and gold for the stripe. Ravenclaw yet again! Here's a pic:


In the car yesterday on the way back from Florida, I cast on and knitted up the first mitten using Gryffindor colors and the trapped bar pattern. I love it. I cast on the second of the pair during church, and managed to get to the thumb gusset during the sermon. Unfortunately, I didn't snap a pic of them yet. Maybe tomorrow. I also started a Slytherin colored Warm Up America! square that I am crocheting. Have a picture! Since I took the picture, I have worked almost two stripes. Of course, it wasn't until I finished the first stripe that I measured. It was nine inches wide. I decided to work for seven inches then finish it and call it vertical stripes!

An Owl For A Ravenclaw

I just bought the book Charmed Knits today and I am in LOVE!!!!! I am casting on for Errol the owl right now as I type. However, as I am in Ravenclaw, he will not be called Errol. I will have to post a picture of him when he is done so you can all help me decide on a name for him.

I am going to the beach this week and I am taking the sixth book with me. I will probably be able to finish it this week, along with other Harry Potter related knitting. I was going through my stash today, and realized that I have a ton of Slythryn green! I am going to pick up a skein of gray/silver Red Heart to match it and make a pair of mittens in Slythryn colors. I will gift them to a friend of mine for Christmas or something.

Did you see that they are making a Harry Potter theme park!!!!!! I am very excited! I can't wait for '09 so I can go see it!!!

Little Pigwidgeon

I'm currently listening to Goblet of Fire and am enjoying reading about Pigwidgeon. So when I ran across this pattern (scroll down about halfway), I put all my other projects aside and quickly made up my own version of the little owl.
