Progress!

Slightly discouraged by not finishing the sweater in time for the Con, I had turned my attention back to my POA scarf, which is now complete and ready for de-fuzzing :P I've been knitting the sweater again in the mornings and evenings in my carpool with work, and the last sleeve should be finished on the way home!

From here, it's just sweater assembly, and knitting the collar ribbing. Yay!

I think next I'm going to try the qudditch sweater myself. From what I've seen from those doing it, it looks like such a great sweater!!

Sweater Update!

I tried to get my sweater done for D*C, but to no avail. Ah well!

I've now got front, back and one sleeve done, and am working on the second one. I've also decided that I'm going to knit a second one in the darker yarn to be more movie accurate. This will mean getting a new skirt, but meh - the things you do for proper costuming :)

Here's me in my Hogwarts uniform from this weekend, as it was movie accurate without the sweater as well (and way to hot for my scarf, which wasn't done yet either :P)



Here's me and a guy in a Quidditch uniform - I didn't get to ask him if he had knit the sweater himself :)



She did actually knit this sweater - it wasn't ribbed though, and even though it looked great I found that I prefer the ribbed ones that most of our members are working on.
