The Correct Yellow

Okay, I have bright yellow yarn and uni yarn for socks. But, when I printed the Hufflepuff symbol out for graphing to do on side of sock the yellow looks more creamy, and when I watch HP "Stone" (can't spell this morning) the color was a cream color on the quidditch stands. So, which is correct?

Hello!

I am thrilled I found this knitalong. I have loved the Harry Potter books since Chamber of Secrets came out. It is bittersweet for me though as I am sad to see the ending. I will be attending the release party at my local bookstore and I may go in costume.

I digress, I am also Emily and I have 4 youngsters ages 5 (almost 6), 4, 3 and 2. My kids adore Harry Potter and I am wanting to make them all scarves. They want to dress up for Halloween as HP chars as well. I believe Snape is good and that Malfoy will come to the Light. I felt bad for lack of Slytherin love, so I had to get sorted (and yes, yummy men there as well). I don't know if any of you have seen it but there is a book coming out soon. I really want get a copy when it comes out... it looks so fun!

Look forward to getting to know you all!

I would like to introduce HP Hedgie. He is a member of Gryffindor House, obviously. I gifted him to my HP loving sister yesterday. She was so excited.

In other HP news the Hubby and I are reading Sorcerer's Stone to our four year old daughter at night before she goes to bed. Hagrid was knitting his yellow circus tent on the London Underground and Harry just read through his list of clothing, books and equipment. Dave refuses to read the HP books on his own but I can totally tell that he is enjoying reading Sorcerer's Stone to E, who is also enjoying the read.

No more confusion

Ok since I thought that I was confusing people (myself included) I changed from aksunflour to Janet.

I just finished listening to Harry Potter Sorceror's Stone on tape. I have the movie and will be watching it as soon as I post. Tomorrow I shall start listening to Chamber of Secrets, I wanted to finish up one before starting another.

Not sure if this will work for everyone or just people from Alaska. But Listen Alaska is audio book downloads. You install free software from website, check out title w/your library card, download titles to your comp. and then enjoy on your pc or mp3 player.

Also I just checked out Kids Knitting by Melanie Falick and discovered a couple of patterns in it. One is a wizard hat and the other is magic spiral tube socks. I am going to try the wizard hat and see what happens. Hope this helps someone else out there.

Hi, I'm Birdy

Hello all! I'm so thrilled I found this group. I am so excited about Book Seven I am about to explode. I warned my husband that in the next 144 days don't be surprised if out of the blue I jump up and down and whisper Harry Potter!

Anyway--like I said I'm Birdy and I'm in Ravenclaw. I've got two kids (5 and 2)--my 5 year old has been big Harry Potter fan since he was a wee baby. I got into the books shortly after Goblet of Fire went to paperback. I haven't quite knitted anything Potterish, but my Mom knitted a Gryffindor Scarf for my son and crocheted a Golden Snitch for him as well. To alleviate the Deathly Hallows mania I've been wracking my brain trying to come up with an appropriate knitting project. The night before it hit me: In honor of S.P.E.W., I am going to knit up as many wee hats as I can and then donate them to my local children's hospital. I might make some wacky ones that are decidedly house elfish--ears and bobbles maybe.

At The Leaky Cauldron there's a section of there site called Harry Potter Seven (it's right at the top of the left side bar. They are awesome essays pertaining to the last book...I am not sure of it's helped the mania or made it worse, but it's fantastic brilliant stuff.

I just finished re-reading book 6...so now I am just in time to start all over again. Am I the only one that cries at the end of book 5 and book 6? I've read both many many times and it never fails to make me a sobby mess.

Happy Harry Knitting!
