I feel like a complete idiot for paying money for this then ...
Deceptive! I pre-ordered. When it arrived, discovered the patterns were already in the The Unofficial Harry Potter Knits Magazine (2013). I wouldn't have minded if this had been made clear in the description but it was NOT. And the patterns themselves now have different names. For ex. the blue capelet on the cover here is called Ghostly Cloak. in HP Knits: The Grey Lady's Cloak (as in Helena Ravenclaw). "Thinking Cap" = "Dumbledore's Smoking Hat". "Giant's Sweater" = "Hagrid's Sweater." "Inverse Socks" = "Fred and George's Socks". "A Cap Full of Caps" = "E.L.F. Cap". "Owl Cardigan" = "Ginny's Cardigan". "Griffin Socks" = "Dragon's Egg Socks" (From 'The Goblet of Fire'). "Enchanted Forest Scarf" - "Forbidden Forest Scarf" (which borders Hogwart's). "Rich Earth Mitts" = "Pomona's Mitts (as in Professor Pomona Sprout). "Shimmering Cloak" = "Ignotus Peverell's Cloak" (IE 'The Cloak of Invisibility). "Midnight Mitts" = "Sword of Gryffindor Mitts" (Seriously??!!! that's a major hide!) as well as "Rendez-Vouz Mitts" - "Hermione's Time Turner Mitts" (they even have the letter "H"!!!) "Blue Moon Shawl" = "Bluebell Flames Shawl" (as in the blue flames Hermione magicked up in "Sorcerer's Stone"). "Cotillion Arm Warmers" = "Yule Ball Engageantes" (From "The Goblet of Fire"). "Inky Pullover" - "Severus Pullover" (Really?). "Lady of the House Wrapper" = "Malfoy Manor Wrapper". "Chameleon Wrapper" = "Tonk's Togs" (as in "Nymphadora Tonk" from "The Deathly Hallows Pt.1") "Aviary Vest" = 'Order of the Phoenix Winged Vest" (sigh....). "Lacy Cloak" = "Lestrange Cloak" as in Bellatrix Lestrange). Yes.... I feel like a complete idiot for paying money for this then waiting for it. Goodness knows, I already had it. In 2013!!!
