Knit a Ravenclaw scarf

This weekend I’m attending a knitting workshop and now I know what I want to do!

So, for a little while, I had given up on this goal, after around 6 or 7 bar repeats. Then, the unthinkable happened. On my way home from a Madrigal Performance (think Renaissance music in period dress), my friend Katie mentioned she had started working on a Ravenclaw Scarf…in the book colors! I can’t give up on it now, especially since my friend is doing one too! I was kinda surprised…we’re so much alike!

I started a few days ago. Knitting it in the round, using the PoA film trapped-bar design in blue and silver (I’m a book purist, but frankly it’s difficult to find yarn that a) looks really bronze and b) matches well with blue, so aesthetics win out over accuracy this time).

I bought Knit Picks Wool of the Andes in Sapphire Heather and Lake Ice Heather. It’s knitting up nicely. One trapped-bar repeat finished, 13 more to go.

I decided to do a PoA scarf (the one with the thin stripes), in the book house colors. The blue I found was perfect, but the bronze sometimes looks a little more like old gold. I think it’s gonna be really cute though (albeit long and wide)!

I started my scarf about 4 days ago. I’m making it in the big blocky stripes they used in the first 2 movies. I also making it in blue and silver like the movies and not blue and bronze the real house colors. I’m making this scarf for a friend, I already made my self a gryffindor scarf. I had so much fun with it I had to make another. I just wish I could of found a lighter color for the silver, it’s a little darker than I wanted, but so far it looks great, I’m on stripe 5 of 19.

i’m oddly domestic this summer. but yes yes YESSSS!!!!

Here’s a photo of my Ravenclaw-in-progress, I’ve got two repetitions of the stripe done. Wow, these scarves are a lot of knitting, but they look so good when they are done!
