So I have two projects currently completed, both of which are a little old now. The first is a Gryffindor scarf which I completed about 2 years ago. It is made from 100% hand dyed sheep's wool that I purchased from the Highland Games in Fergus. The scarf measures 76 inches long, and I am quite fond of it. My only regret is that I didn't put tassels on it when I had the chance.
Here are a couple pictures of my scarf:
I'm sorry the pictures are so big, but I don't know how to shrink them. Jan: No worries! I put in spoiler tags for you. You can make them too, like this without the spaces: [ spoiler = text ] big pics [ /spoiler ]

Thanks for all the awesome comments, guys! It took me a really long time to make it (almost two years actually) but I am really proud of it because it turned out so nicely. I christened it by wearing it to the midnight release of Deathly Hallows last year. *squee*

I love Hogwarts scarves... so pretty! I've always wanted a Claw one, but I think I'll just give up and make one.

*gasp* OH that's gorgeous! I love how it curls in (I'm a noob, but is that a stockinette stitch?), very, very pretty!

lol Nabiya. I am a knitting n00b too. All I know is that the one side is knitting, and the other side is pearling. I don't know whether there is a specific terminology for that or not. My mum helped me when I had to switch colours so that the scarf would look nice when finished.
Anyways, here's project number two, which some of you may remember from Christmas time. My very own Ollivander sock puppet! He's soooo cute! Unfortunately, my dog ate him shortly after this picture was taken, so alas, Ollivander is no more.

Hahaha poor Ollivander, taken down by a roving canine! He's so cute though <3
And yes, lol I'm quite sure that's a stockinette... or at least, what I thought it was! xD Switching colours is so stressful, but your mum did it beautifully in the scarf.

Omgawsh that is sooo cute! And looked like a lot of hard work. I would have been veryyy angry at my Voldemort if he did something like that to my creation XD... not that I have the creativity to create something as cute as that! You should sell them *nods*

lol. Thanks, but I don't really think there'd be a market for them. It's something to keep in mind though.

I found my old FIMO modelling clay while I was cleaning some stuff up in my house, and it was surprisingly still pliable. I was just playing around and this is the result.

How cute! I love it, nice job! In fact, this looks just like Ron, right down to the red hair and the sweater.

That is so cute! How big is he? Is that his final pose or can he stand up? hehe

*He just fell over. I guess Won-Won's head was too heavy for his weasley...I mean measly... body.*

Divination= illumination
What better for enlightenment than a divination lantern?
I made this one out of a large tin can. With a hammer, an awl, a little determination, and a lot of noise, I concocted this one. Hope you like it!

That is such a creative idea! I used to make those out of little cans when I was a Girl Scout many moons ago, but this is really clever, and so pretty all lit up!

I really like it! I think this should be a standard accessory in the divination classroom, without a doubt! Nice job!

Here is my entry for Magical Familiars. I made the toad from an origami pattern, which I kinda flubbed, but oh well, then painted and glittered it. Hope you like it!
