Okay, List Of Things To Knit, in no particular order:

• Cigar gloves for myself. I have the yarn, I just need to sit my arse down and start them. I may end up adjusting the pattern a bit, making the cuff longer and knitting in some elastic into it, and then I have to figure out the best way to line it with the alpalca/silk blend a coworker gave me. Hm, perhaps I should ask for advice on that on knitting ...
• A pair of these for myself.
• Cabled hat in Gryffindor colours for ruby_fruit.
• Additional HP scarves for various people.
• New wristwarmers to wear at work, because these ones are falling apart. I wonder if I can use the rainbow yarn for that ...
• A Weasley jumper for myself.
• A shawl or something for my brother's girlfriend for Christmas. Need to find nice (purple or black) yarn for it, and a pattern that'll knit up fairly quickly. (Something like this could work nicely, if I adapt it for a triangular shawl. Or maybe something more like this?)
• Possibly this as part of a present for one of the parental units?
• Possibly this for my brother the tea fanatic?
• Possibly one of these for my youngest brother?

Yeah, I'm so overreaching. Sigh. Okay, after Amy's scarf, I start on the gloves, and then the shawl for Yana, working on the hat and wristwarmers (and the slippers?) when I feel like taking a break. If and only if I have enough time and yarn left over once that's done, I can try and do some of those small present type things.

Oh, and note that I have a whole list of patterns I want to try after all that--this is jut the list of concrete things I need or want now and/or have the yarn for.

I SO want the same slippers, my issue is that so far in France it has proven impossible (I am not syaing this lightly) to buy 100
5 pure wool WOT FELTS.

You know, that's a good point. I'd been planning on doing this with the recycled yarn from a wool jumper I got, but that may very well not felt, either. Fucksticks. Shall have to shop around a bit, then.

(my ravenclaw book scarf is still sorta on your list yes? maybe?)

'Tis, yes! That is, if I can ever find proper yarn for it over on this side of the Atlantic. All the UK yarn stores I find online only seem to have novelty-ish yarns. Must consult hp_knitting on this.

and i hope hp_knitting can help w/ locating good yarn.. (also w/ the felting yarn mebbe? hopefully?)

i am very close to going through a friend who knits in the US and make an order from Knitpicks.com, who have real proper feltable yarn.

I shall definitely ask, both there and in knitting.

If you do, let me know? I can paypal you money and we can combine orders so I can get a bunch of HP-coloured yarn.

Knitpicks does free shipping if you buy over 35 dollars, but it takes longer.

I actually like Elann.com a lot better than Knitpicks; they do ship to Europe and have a lot of fantastic yarn. For wool wot felts (and HP colors!), check out the Highland Wool.

knitpicks doesn't ship to Europe, sadly. :(

Oooh, linky! Thanks!
