item: Harry Potter Socks yarn: Brightdyes - Preston, UK content: 100g 435 metres sock yarn 75%wool 25% polyamide, price: $19.00 time: A couple of days during a Gaming Convention |
I can finally post a photo of these socks since the Owl made a delivery yesterday to Maryland. I missed the Harry Potter Sock swap that was going on this summer so Mia and I made an agreement to knit each other a pair of Harry Potter Socks. The first yarn I ordered for her socks I absolutely hated, but it was in HufflePuff colours, which would be the house I would put Mia in for her loyalty and friendship. I couldn't find another good indie dyed Hufflepuff yarn so I went with Gryffindor. Since Mia had a long conversation with the sorting hat to get into the house of her preference. Though we all know the truth................ I had a lot of problems with the yarn. Knitting on double points probably wasn't the best choice since every time I looked I was getting a new ladder between the needles. I ended up having to move them two stitches every row. The stripes though were incredibly even which I really liked. I still want to knit her a pair of Hufflepuff, but I will need to find
the perfect yarn. |
