This Friday, I’m proud to say that I finished the Harry Potter scarf I’ve been working on since January! This is my third time doing one of these. This one is for a friend-of-a-friend who is going through some tough times … I have to admit, I had a hard time motivating myself to do yet more stockinette, but I designated this project as my penance knitting about two weeks ago, and that did the trick. Poof, done!

Remily Knits 
How long did the scarf end up being?
Looks like I didn’t measure them … and they have long since passed on to the recipients. There are some reference shots here that might help you: http://www.ravelry.com/projects/remcat/yahps-yet-another-harry-potter-scarf-3
When I popped over here from ravelry I was surprised and delighted to see the name of your page. My maiden name was Remily and its one I don’t see very often. Pretty cool to see that. I’ll definitely make this scarf now since its for my brother who still carries the name.
