Potter Break

Happy Harry Potter's Eve! I anticipate receiving the final volume by mail tomorrow and getting utterly engrossed until completion.

After a second frogging, I did manage to get on the right track with my Josephine top. I'm not following the pattern though, so we'll see if I'm punished down the line. I'm using 7 circs instead of 4s and working the pattern in the round. Oh, and ignoring guage. I realize this is a recipe for disaster, but I have a good feeling about knitting by intuition this time. After all, if I had followed my gut the first two times, I would have frogged much earlier.

Here's a picture of the top in the pattern (Interweave Knits, Summer 2007, Deborah Newton) for those visual sorts:

I think a lot of us took Potter Breaks. I really like that top from Interweave. I have been thinking about knitting it myself. Can't wait to see how it turns out for you.
