I started a Ravenclaw HP Fair Isle House Pouch the other night following the pattern Quietish has on her blog. I'm using Knit Picks Wool of the Andes for this one and making it in the movie colors. I was planning on casting one of the beauties on for myself next month in book colors, but with the end of HSKS4 here, it seems that one of our Ravenclaws is in real danger of getting stiffed by her Spoiler, so I bumped this up in case we need an owl to fly off to her with an angel package. It's my first fair isle attempt and I have to say it's turning out quite nicely. I'm using a much smaller needle that I normally would with this yarn (a US Size 3 16" circular), but I wanted the bag to stay true to the size Quietish intended for it in hopes that it would make a nice pouch for carrying around the current sock project.I really do like this bag, and the pattern is quite well written. It also knits up much quicker than I expected. I think this could easily be a rainy weekend project. I'm definitely going to be making one of these for myself, but I think I will go up a size or two on the needle next go around just because I think I'd like my bag a bit larger.
I can't wait to block and line this one so I can see the final product.
