Zelda:
Alison Hansel, the author of Charmed Knits, has the Weasley Sweater
Pattern on her website. As Jeremiah mentioned, it will be nice to
have all of the patterns in one place.

Jeremiah:
Thanks for the heads up, Zelda. I think I have visited the atypically site
once or twice. Good stuff there.

I know I've mentioned this before but I have always been curious about
Hagrid's canary-yellow, tent-like object he was knitting on the underground.
I'd like to hear what other people think it is... (and if JKR is reading any
of this, maybe a quick mention of it in the FAQ section or Extra Stuff page?
Please. please, please)?

I have always thought it was a sweater but it could have been a baby blanket
for one of Aragog's off-spring. Or an afghan for Hagrid's hut? Maybe even a
wizard tent... wouldn't out it past him.

An ideas? Maybe I can come up with a pattern for it. LOL. ;)

Jeremiah: who doesn't actually care for canary-yellow but would like to make
something in honor of Hagrid, anyway...
