Okay, I bet many of you knitters out there are aware that there’s a new book out from Tanis Gray called Knitting Magic. It’s been available to pre-order for a couple of months and mine finally arrived yesterday!!!
Guys, it’s SO GOOD. It is full of amazing patterns, some replicas of things from the movies and some pieces inspired by them, but they’re all fantastic. The photography is gorgeous and there are little movie trivia tidbits scattered throughout and I kind of want to make everything!
I think Hedwig might come first, and then I really want to make one of the Hogwarts cardigans, if I can decide whether to do Gryffindor colors or Ravenclaw. Really, there are a lot of patterns I think I’d actually be able to make and wear — I might even learn duplicate stitch so I can do a Weasley pullover! There are also several patterns that are way beyond my current skill level, like that pullover. But those can be my aspirational patterns when I’m ready to level up in my knitting.
Do you have the book too? What pattern do you want to make first?

I don’t have this book, but those gloves look really interesting!
They do!! Such fun colors!
Hedwig is so cute!
The shawl or blanket on the suitcase looks beautiful. I also like the Hogwarts sweater. I think I need to read the entire series, for some reason I got distracted and really need to pick it back up.
YES you do!! Maybe once your kids are old enough you can read it aloud with them.
I don’t have it, but I want it so much!! I’d probably go for Hedwig first as well.
I do have it and I love it! I want to knit the Expecto Patronum mitts and Wizarding Transportation Scarf. I might change the patronus design from a stag to something else though.
Oh my gosh, I can’t wait to see those! Those are so amazing but I know my skills aren’t there yet.
Oh, how fun!! Happy knitting!
I have been wondering how this book would turn out for a while – thanks for the review! Sounds like I will have to pick up a copy 🙂
I’d love to, but definitely not at the skill level yet!
