So i'm a MASSIVE fan of the Potter Puffs and thought it about time I whip up a Snape to go along with my Harry Puff -_^!!
The pattern is available for free over @ http://totallee.net/snapepuffpattern.php if there are any fellow Potterheads out there wanting to give it a whirl -_^!! xox
I am knitting my first project today...naturally, it's a house scarf (Gryffindor year 1 and 2 style). I'm not followinga particular pattern (because i cannot decipher them). I am knitting on US size 8 straight needles and alternating rows of knit stitch and purl stitch. I've got 3 rows done last night because I kept screwing up and having to restart. My big problem is my cast on is too tight, and well, subsequently everything is too tight. I am probably going to restart again tonight and make it looser.
Any tips on knitting a scarf evenly with straight needles?
