Hi, Knitters,
First, thank you for the support over on the My Mountain page. I made the semi-finals for a hat design and voting for the winner is currently going on. The My Mountain company wants and encourages us to keep spreading the word to get people over to the page to vote for the favorites.
Now you are able to vote once per day. Please check it out (and daily if possible) and share with your knitting friends!
Okay, on to other news today. I recently purchased a copy of the Unofficial Harry Potter 2013 Interweave Knits magazine through the Interweave Store (click here!) for $14.99. I love the Interweave Knits special issues. They are fun and clever and they kind of make you feel good. I purchased my own copy mainly for the cover cardigan called, Ginny's Cardigan. Anyway, right after I purchased my copy I was contacted by Interweave/F+W Media to host a giveaway for 5 copies of the magazine. It was perfect timing and I genuinely love the issue. So here it goes.....

Ginny's Cardigan (above) has a lace panel running down the back that looks like stacked owls, which I love, and then the rest of the cardi is in stockinette stitch. I have the yarn picked out and can't wait to dig into this fun design. I like this one and many other designs in this issue because they aren't all costume-y looking but rather inspired by Harry Potter. There are a couple of more costume-like designs thrown in just for fun.
Click here to see all of the Unofficial Harry Potter projects in this issue! There are 32 designs.
The following are a few more of my favorites from the issue and projects that will be going on my needles soon.
