| | |  West Salem sisters knit Harry Potter scarves for charity
Ingrid and Britta Enstad of West Salem, Oregon, have combined two of their favorites hobbies, Harry Potter and knitting, to raise money for charity. The sisters knit Harry Potter themed scarves, hats and wristbands, then choose a different charity every season to donate all of their profits to, such as humanitarian relief in Darfur, Sudan. Quote:
"We've put both our hobbies together (reading Harry Potter and knitting)," Ingrid said. "We haven't found anyone else who is doing this. The scarves we've seen aren't handmade or authentic to the books."
"Then we thought we could probably sell these. People always wonder where we got them," Britta said. "We would be knitting anyway, so why not knit for a reason?"
You can check out the sisters' website here.

__________________ I gotta go back to the muggle world,
they're gonna try and tell me this wasn't, that none of this happened,
but you know what? It was real. It did happen.
We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,
and it's going to be around long after we're gone.
Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.
No matter how long you're away from it, there's always a way back. | |
