Starting the Sweater!

I'm working on the PoA Gryffindor scarf right now, but next up for me is the Gryffindor House sweater.

I've ordered 5 skeins of charcoal Plymouth encore, and next I need to figure out how to do the sleeves, as the only pattern I've found is a sleeveless one - I keep trying to resist the urge to take the easy way out, and make it sans sleeves. :)

I hope to have it done by halloween, but it'd be nice if I had it done prior to Dragon*con on Labor day weekend. I've already bought a skirt and a tie from wizard ties - so with the exception of the robe, the whole costume will be in my house in some form in the coming week or two!

Welcome!

I'm not really sure how many people will be doing this sweater, but I've found that knitalongs are a great motivation - at least for me!

You don't have to have already started your sweater to join this knit-along - just have a desire and a plan to do so in the near future. So welcome, pull up a chair and your needles, and let's go!
