Harry Potter and the Self-Striping Socks

I love to knit, and I love Harry Potter. So when I learned of the existence of Harry Potter-branded sock yarn? Yeah, had to have some. I am a big sucker that way.

Finally finished up both pairs this weekend, and I'm very pleased with them.

These are the Dumbledore socks. The pattern is Froot Loop from Knitty.com. You kind of lose the pattern in the changing colors, but overall I'm very happy with them.

And these are the Ron Weasley socks. The pattern is Slippery, also from Knitty. This pair was a more successful combination of color and pattern, I think. It's still a bit difficult to see the pattern, but in this case it's mostly due to my feeble photographic skills.
