Np pictures right now, but wanted to give an update all the same. I've gotten through 2 trapped bars now on the HP-type scarf. I think it's looking pretty good. I already have ideas on what to do with it once I'm done knitting it. I also was considering making a matching hat and some fingerless gloves as well. Trina's birthday's coming up, so I think it'd make a nice gift for her. I feel pretty good about making this scarf. I even managed to figure out the logless jog *jiggies*. At some point though, I want to make a Gryffindor one for myself. But that's for the future.
By the way, I was wondering about something. How can the atypicallyknit pattern for the HP scarves be copyrighted, but there's a ton of places who sell handknit scarves using said pattern? Is it that easy to get the permission to sell them, or are they all violating the copyright?

Unless you've gotten permission, you can't sell items made from a pattern.

That being said, HP scarves are very easy to make without a pattern. i'm sure that a lot of the ones you see for sale aren't made with that particular pattern, and it would be very hard to prove that they were.

I figured it would be hard to prove lol. And I know it's not legal to sell without permission, which is why I was wondering how this was possible. I've seen so many people ask to buy an HP scarf on knitting or HP_knitting...
