As promised: pictures:

Ravenclaw Hat My Ravenclaw hat, front view.
Ravenclaw Hat My Ravenclaw hat, front view. The colours are actually the same as my scarf, but they're all dark in this picture.
Gryffindor Yarn Yarn for the two Gryffindor scarves I've promised people.
More yarn! Pretty dark teal yarn, which you can't see properly in this photo, black yarn for gloves, and a random ball of rainbow-y yarn.
Pullovers To Frog Pullovers to recycle the yarn from. Nice colour, but not my colour, and not my size, either.
Tools Of The Trade On the top: wooden size six needles I got for free from the nice yarn shop man, and double-pointed size fours. Below: measuring tape, stitch holder, and stitch counters.
Knitting! Me, knitting. I look all serious and professional and concentrating.
Grandma Gran's new coat. Only £12!

... Gran's gonna kill me for posting that last one. *eyedart*

It's the loveliest teal, too, just dark enough to not be all "meh". And it's a HUGE ball, though sadly not enough for a jumper, and they only had the one, but YARN! *runs around all excited-like*

Thanks! *pokes the mouse curiously*

Iiiiiiiiiiiiii!!! The hat is so many kinds of fabulous. I love it. :D And I really really like your gran's coat.

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

Is it not FABULOUS? :D I SO love this pattern!

And the coat was SUCH a bargain!

[carelessmemory.livejournal.com]

IT IS!! I'm almost tempted to try out knitting. :p

I can't believe it was only £12, that's practically free. Bargains like that ROCK.

Cool! You can actually recycle yarn? Wow.

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

Yep! There's a good tutorial here. :)

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

:D

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

Do eet! It's fun and easy!

I know, and it's like new, too. I don't think it was worn more than once, even!

[weetniet.livejournal.com]

Erm.. That was me. PC logs me out now and then although I have in my settings that he has to stay logged in!

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

Hee! Probably a cookie problem. But yay, mystery solved!

[carelessmemory.livejournal.com]

I wiiiiiiiill! I'll have a word with mum, see if I can't borrow some needles and yarn so I can try it out.

Piece of advice: start with chunky yarn and thickish needles. Most beginners knit too tight in the beginning, and working with thick needles and yarn helps counteract that a little.

[carelessmemory.livejournal.com]

Aah, thanks! :) I'll ask mum for some thickish needles then, I'm pretty sure she has all the sizes.

Hi there!
Found you via Metaquotes, and love that hat like crazy (need to read back further to see where you got the pattern).
I'm also doing Nano again this year, and I could use some more nano-ists and knitters on my friends list, so I'm adding you if you don't mind.
Feel totally free to add me back or not, of course!

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

Hiya! Oooh, another NaNo kntter! *friends*

My writing journal is At mounthelicon, BTW, and that's where my NaNo babble is going to go. :)

Well, "thickish" in Mellespeak = size 5ish, which is good for chunky yarn. I tend to use a size bigger than advised, cause I tend to knit quite tight, and it balances out.
