Harry Potter Scarf. My First Knitting. Griffindor!

This thing has taken me 4 years to knit!  I'm very glad it's finished, I don't think I'm a natural knitter!

I'm 5 foot 1 and this is about 2 feet taller than me...shame it's stopped being scarf weather really!  Although I have been amusing myself by wearing one of those blankets with sleeves backwards like a robe with my new scarf and pretending I'm at hogwarts : )

  4. Thanks y'all :D

    Carolyn - I'm having one of those days where you don't really get out of your pajamas, so I can't take a photo of myself wearing it - I did try with the camera's timer but it wasn't a success!

    Mangocheeks - I'm glad the weathers nicer too, and it's nice to look forward to wearing my new scarf when it gets chilly again!

    Kay - how exciting, do show off your scarf when it's finished! Are you knitting it or crocheting it, or something else? I had the supplies for this scarf for at least 2 years before I even started knitting it...

  5. Ooh, that's fab! And it is still a bit chilly in the evenings so you should get some wear - I'd suffer being a bit warm just to show it off lol! x
