Thought I'd post some pictures of 2 scarves that I am working on for a friend of mine. These are WIP's (Works in Progress). One is in the Harry Potter Hufflepuff colors, the other is in the San Francisco 49ers colors.

Just finished this ribbed scarf today. I don't plan on doing another one of these anytime soon, as they are a complete pain in the butt to knit.

I found this pattern for bookmarks which are modeled after the Harry Potter Scarves in the movies. The pattern can be found here: http://knittingwithlaura.blog-city.com/harry_potter_bookscarf_pattern.htm.

Here is a pic of the bookmarks for each house.

Here is a little tutorial that I made concerning knitting in the round. There are 70 cast on stitches illustrated. Try not to twist the stitches before joining them, if they get twisted you will have to rip out and start over. Happy knitting!

This is my latest scarf. It is modeled after the Harry Potter Movies 3 & 4, and is in the Ravenclaw House colors.

Here are two more dolls from the Knitted Shoe Box Dolls book. ( dolls )

This is a scarf I made for my brother. It is in Cleveland Brown's colors since that is his team.

Well after what seems like an eternity, I finally finished my Ravenclaw scarf with matching blue hat, for my doctor. I've been working on it off and on and finally finished it. Even though it is currently an oven here, about 112 today, I am glad it is done. Now I can concentrate on knitting Christmas gifts. It may only be July but since these scarves take a few weeks (at the least) to make, and I have several that need to be done, I need to get moving if I want everything to get finished in time.

Here is a pic of the Ravenclaw scarf with blue hat.

Here are my completed Harry Potter scarves. I have many more scarves planned, and some on the needles. Will post more pics as I get things finished.

I bought a book called "Knitted Shoe Box Dolls." The dolls in it are quite cute. Here are some of the dolls I've made from the book, plus a "Snape" doll that I made by modifying the pattern a little bit.
