Thank you for sharing this! I love the Weasleys too, and I will be making my own pair of socks using this pattern.
You're so welcome! You'll have to share pictures when you're done :) The socks knit up rather quickly too, which is always nice.
Yeah! Another one for my queue. Its going to be full of your patterns soon!
Super pattern! Love all things HP! and I love that you picked up things other than book titles or main characters to base your patterns on!
Gorgeous socks! I can't wait to try it. I've added it to my ravelry que.
I love the fact that you wrote this for the 2 circular needles method as that is what I use. This sock is now on my to do list. Thank you so much for the pattern.
Love this pattern! I finished mine back in February. I used dpns instead of circulars. They turned out great! Thanks!!!
I will be posting a picture of them to my blog eventually.
Very handsome pattern! Added to my queue and I think I even have the perfect yarn for them. Thanks!
So glad to have come across your site! I am a longtime knitter who is crazy for socks:: always looking for new, simple patts. love seeing what my needles can make! ;-) I think I will be making a couple of your patterns for my own family, for nieces and nephews we don't get to see v. often:: We read the HP series out loud (in French) and have a loose tradition of taking time to read together every night. (Have you heard of the Alice Ozma book 'the reading promise'? i read it just a couple of weeks ago and it is v. inspiring!) bla bla... anyway, thanks again for such a wide range of patterns.
Sooo beautyful :) Is there possibly a german pattern ? I'm from Germany and my english is not soooo good . Would be very happy about a German translation :)
