Long Live Harry!

I finished reading the latest Harry Potter about three hours ago (took a long nap since I had hardly slept since I got it). I laughed almost as much as I cried throughout. It was wonderful. Stange to think it's over though. It seems like the end of an era. I know that we still have to look forward to two movies, but after the last one, I'm not sure that's much to look forward to. Shrug.

Time to go back and read 'em again!

Luna Sweater

So looking around online at images from the new Harry Potter movie, I fell in love with this sweater that Luna Lovegood wears. When yahoo groups Harry Potter Craft group set a challenge to recreate something from the film, I chose to work on this. Well, let's just say that designing a pattern based on two or three pictures is not an easy task. It took five days to make, three spent starting and restarting, but I finally got something. The pattern still needs a little work, but given the fact that I'm at least four sizes bigger than the actress and I can never make it look perfect for me, I think it looks pretty good.

Of course, this morning I ran across another picture I hadn't seen and found out what I'd done wrong! Well, back to the drawing board. (I still like it though)
