swaps and contests

I'm all for starting a swap, or better yet, what about a sock club. KnittyKnitter could make the yarn and we can get it from her. We can have monthly contests based on that month's yarn- colorway's FOs, too. What do y'all think

Open lace.... or gouging holes?

Update: I frogged it, and will later try it on a size or two down.

Oh, I forgot to mention that the pattern has an error in it. It says to knit some of the rows when you should purl, because you need to form the stockinette stitch. I don't have the book with me right now, but the error is like row 3 or 4 or something. I hope that helps!

Has anyone done the "Invisibility Shawl" yet?

Here's the deal-io. I'm using lace-weight in darker colors, because I like the idea of the shawl having the dark colorwork like in the movies.

I'm knitting on size 7 needles, as requested in the book. However, um, it looks too loose! I should just call it the "visibility shawl."

I've been stretching it this way, and that way, pretending to block it, but I really think the needles are too big to hold the integrity of the stockinette patches surrounding the Yo's.

What do YOU think?

Can blocking really salvage something this loose? Or should I just frog it and start on smaller needles?

Hi, me again!

I've finished my Weasley jumper. Its so cosy and I just wish it was cold enough to wear it already!

Sorry to do two posts in a row. Just had to say how much I loved the new Harry Potter film. I wore my Griffindor scarf and was pleased when a few people complimented me on it. I'm planning on wrapping myself up in it for reading the new book on saturday!

I just finished a Ravenclaw beret in the child's size and I've done the back of my weasley sweater. I'm knitting it in red Debbie Bliss Donegal tweed Aran. Since the photo was taken I've done about 10 inches of the front and am about to begin the 'H' its my first intarsia project so I'm a bit nervous.

New Knitter

I've just been accepted to join this KAL. I'm really excited about the new film coming out and of course especially book 7!! I've been indulging in a little bit of Harry Potter knitting and so far I have done a Griffindor years 1 & 2 scarf designed by the blogger at atypically knit and the dark mark scarf designed by the blogger at Storm Moon Knits.

Its good to get the chance to share my harry potter knitting with other knitters. I'm hoping to attempt the clock blanket from Charmed Knits at some point, and I've just started a Weasley sweater.
