I haven’t seen it in person yet, but I’m kind of in love with The Unofficial Harry Potter Knits
, a special issue from Interweave. It’s out now in a digital version and will be available for shipping (sorry, this one is United States only) August 8. For now you can get a sneak peek on Ravelry.
For $14.99 this issue gets you more than 30 patterns, heavy on the socks and sweaters. I love the mismatched twin Fred and George Socks; the pretty leaf green Herbology Socks, covered with a twisting vine pattern; the dark cables of the Serveus Pullover; and the gorgeous gothic stained-glass beauty of the Tracery Pattern (it’s a vest). There are also articles on the knits made for the movies, the importance of knitting and family in the stories and more.
I have no idea what compelled them to do a Harry Potter collection at this particular time, but the projects do look like a lot of fun and I’ll probably be picking up a copy. It can keep my copy of Charmed Knits company.
Have you ever knit any Harry-inspired items? I’d love to hear about it!
