My daughter Josie and her boyfriend Henrik are Harry Potter fans. They even named their cat Nimbus, like Harry’s broom. Growing up, Josie adored the Weasley brothers, esp Ron and Fred. A couple of weeks ago, Henrik cosplayed Ron at a theme dinner at the University. Ron in the awful suit he had to wear at the Yule Ball. Henrik is good as sewing and made the whole outfit himself. It turned out amazing! With red hair and red eyebrows, Josie finally got her own Weasley brother!

They deserve this blanket. I plan to finish it before Christmas.

I’m mainly using leftover aran and worsted yarns that I have at home but I’ve ordered quite a few more to get the correct colors. I’m pairing up worsted with left-over fingering to get the squares the same thickness. I block all the squares to 8”x8” using a cut out frame in that size, that I made of cardboard.

CO: German twisted CO
BO: JSSBO
Also, the first and last st on every row I knit kbt instead of k, to get neater edges.

Most squares weigh around 30 g. The ones containing Léttlopi only, only weighs 20 or so grams. Léttlopi really has a great yardage!
