Luckilly Harry Potter colors are well-documented.  The woman who taught me says I knit like a machine. After I let my hands rest a couple days, I begin.... Who.

You do all of that by hand?  Dang!  I have a friend who makes stuff like that too, but she uses a knitting machine for scarves.

these are easy to knit in the round and I know I can do four a month and have in the past so I know that your are charging just right for them. SO DO NOT let anyone tell you they are too expensive!

But I didn't come to tell you just that. I wanted to warn you about the dr.who scarf. This is knit in the flat not the round so it makes it a bit more intense. you can't just knit and count rows you actually have to pay attention. Do you have the official pattern book? or using online sources cuz they are different patterns. I got into that fight with a dr.who fan that was HARD CORE! We argued for weeks, and then I slapped the book on his lap and he was all "Oh...." So watch this. People will fight you if you go by the book on the measuring of the first scarf. There were a few made so pick your wisely.

Also for people who are allergic to wool, the red heart acrylic yarn from walmart, has ALL the colours you need for the Dr.Who Scarf! =^_~=

I cant wait to see your next scarf! Good luck, and have fun!

I use a LOT of Red Heart. But I ordered a kit from http://www.theknittree.com/store/7-colors-nature-spun-wool-yarn-kit-18-skeins-replica-doctor-who-style-scarf-pattern-hand-or-machine

Because not being a watcher of Who(Though I want to start at the beginning) I do not know where to start with Red Heart. I think I'll save a scrap of each color to compare after I finish this scarf. The wool is size 2, I'm use to size 4 yarn.

Wait, you can knit a HP scarf in a week? crap, I need to step up my game. 

Seriously though, I was so mad. I sent my scarves to a friend to take to Youmacon, everyone wanted Hufflepuff.... And one jackass actually offered 20 for a scarf.
