I can't believe I haven't posted anything since April! Okay, here's the update. I finished that sweater for my daughter. She loves it by the way. I could have sworn I took a picture of it, but I can't find it on my computer. I'll have to take another so that I can post it. Since then I have made 2 sweaters for my 2 youngest children (ages 16 an 17) out of the Harry Potter Knits book.

They were knitted on a circular needle as a tube. The ends were then closed with the fringe. This essentially makes the scarf double thickness and is very warm. The colors are different than what is depicted in the book, and they are not the colors of any of the Hogwarts Houses. My son wanted Green and Black and my daughter wanted Red and Black.

I also knitted a sweater from this same book for my soon-to-be daughter-in-law as a Christmas gift. I do hope she likes it. I have hunted the net and can't find the picture from the book of the sweater. I will post a picture of it when my hubby returns home with my camera and memory stick.
Anyway, the patterns in this book are great! They are easy to follow and take almost NO time. I did the scarves in a week (each), and the sweater took 2 weeks. Not bad for a month's time.
