Hanging about, Hogwarts style

Quick post today as it’s been a very busy weekend and I’m about to go out for a cheeky night of board games!

I swear, in my head, that sounds much cooler than most people are going to read that as…

Anyway, back to the scheduled Hogwart inspired baby knits! This week was something I have wanted to knit the moment I spotted it in “Knitting Magic: The Official Harry Potter Knitting Pattern Book”.

Its none other than…

The Sorting Hat Hanging Display by tiny owl knits – isn’t it adorable? Your supposed to use two sticks and suspend the animals from those, but I opted to use a small metal wreath and wrap it in the appropriate colours instead.

Not going to lie, I am super pleased! Although I had to do a fair bit of tweaking to the sorting hat as the first pass at sewing the seams made it look more like Oogie Boogie than the sorting hat…

Right, must dash, here’s the wool count and until next post, stay safe!

Wool Count

Starting total – 843

Wool used – 95 (1 ball this week)
Wool bought – 51

Wool gifted to others – 5 (+4, these may come back as it’s for a friend who wants to knit a toy and only needs a small amount of each colour…but just in case let’s count them as out!)

Total – 829 (Net difference: -14)
