I'd Knit That: Harry Potter


For this feature, I will explore different movie/tv/webjunk items that I would knit. Do you want excellent ideas for something to write for MOBFD? Come to chat. It's a damn good idea factory in there that is running 24 hours a day.







Have any of you guys seen Harry Potter? I know it's kind of obscure, but it's this whole series of movies that follows a gang of young witches and warlocks as they have hijinks at a boarding school (basically). Since nerds will be nerds, some knitting nerds have reverse engineered every single knit thing and even created knit versions of non-knit thing ever seen in any of the 7.5 HP movies.










But guess what? Some of that junk is cool as hell. Like not even cool in a "Uhhhhh, cool, you knit some Every Flavour Beans" way, but in an actual cool way. So I went to Becca's mom's favorite knitting social network, ravelry.com to see what I could find that I would knit. Here are some pictures! (If you are a knitter and a nerd, you can click on the photos for links to the patterns.)











Ron's sweater. It is awesome. His mom knit one for him and one for Harry. I don't get why anyone would think this sweater is crappy. Do you know how long it takes to knit a sweater? I mean, I'm not a witch, but I've only knit one sweater and that shit took like a month of doing nothing in my spare time but knitting. At least fake gratitude.









A screaming mandrake root. It is sweet and it will explode your head. Don't even try to hate it. You wish you had one. Make it yourself.











Hermione's hat. It's just a cool hat. I'd wear it. Of course, someone wrote the pattern for it. I'm going to knit that!

    Can you reattach this button for me? It popped off because of this weird boner I just had.

    Oh, I fixed the links, you guys! Sorry about that! My AP Computer Science class from 1999 hasn't aged very well. Blogger can't read C++?

    Also, nightmare, I would LOVE to teach a chat class about knitting. The logistics would be a little tricky, but it could be fun.

    Duncan, I think the solution to your problem is obvious: Sweatpants.

    LBT, consider this feature's love for you requited.

    And Ench, you know I wouldn't play you like that in front of the Cinnabon. In front of Auntie Anne's, maybe.
