Harry Potter

[Lee Kushrenada]

I was just wondering how many die-hard HP fan's there are that are planing of costuming/other forms of crafts for the book release?

I myself am knitting scarves for me and all my friends, and am sowing a robe for myself. ....technically I all ready have one.... but it was my first sowing project and... well let's just say I'm making another and leave it at that.
all so, if any one know's of a good HP robe patern, I'm having trouble finding one myself.

I ordered a Harry Potter knitting book...but it has yet to be delivered.

*sob*

don't wory, it'll get there soon.
I picked mine up I think the 2nd or 3ed day it was out, and a knitting friend of mine told me that she woen the next day and they were sold out.
but to be honest I'm just amazed they had them at all.

I have my robes, i'm making new ones for my girlfriend, we have our hogwats uniforms, and i'm finishing up her scarf (since she stole mine.. this one is technically hers, but going to me)...

Lee - your avvie makes me think of the mer-men in the lake...

I'm making Gryffindor Socks based off the 2 different styles of scarves, but that will probably be the extent of my costuming. I have a bunch of stuff (a Time Turner necklace, a broom parking permit, and a bookscarf) that I'll probably add on as well. I can't wait! whee

oh my God you right! eek
I never thought of that! that rocks!

I was thinking of doing a Fenrir Greyback costume... don't ask me why, but I think he's really cool. and the book release would be the only time that any one would know why I was... but I'm not going to.
I'm just sticking with the Hogworts student.

you could do it by hand... just take the fabric with you EVERYWERE. blaugh

in the new HP knitting book, they have the hogwarts sweaters... I know I'm going to end up making one. xp though there's no way I have time to make it in time for the book.

*shivers* I hate hand sewing with a passion. I could never sew a whole costume by hand. All my thread, needles, pins, and fabric and other tools are packed up anyway and I'm not sure where those particular boxes are.
Perhaps I could have one done for the Half-Blood Prince movie when it comes out in a few years. sweatdrop

well that is true, we do have a good 4 years left of Harry potter crafting to do before people just think we're crazy. xd

I have never hand sewn a hole costume/out-fit, but I would just to say I have, I'm hand sowing on ribon onto a pair of pants, and its coming along... but I would much rather start from scrach than do detail sewing, like I'm doing now.
