Harry potter "Golden Snitch" bookmark

[Ladycrochat]

Here is my Golden Snitch! I got the pattern from here
http://www.geocities.com/febmommy/goldensnitch.html

it was a bit hard to make because I did not have the right size cord to work with, so this one is three strands of metallic thread throuhgout. I used a size 0(zero) hook. Hope you like it!

This little cutie took me TWO HOURS to make!:eek I guess I am not used to working with such small hooks and threads:blush ! I was thinking of giving them as Christmas gifts along with a HP book, but I think I better get the right king of thread first! LOL:lol!

[Buffle]

[froggy]

Way To Go Debbie! :clap That's a GREAT Golden Snitch!:yes

[angelfire]

my DGS would LOVE this...he is such a HP fan that at the first movie they had a Nimbus2002 in the lobby that he wanted to take home and cried because he couldn't have one...we bought him one that year..not quite the same but for him it was a good imitation...it even vibrated.

You captured the Golden Snitch!!!! Congrats, that is a lovely bookmark .. as soon as the site comes back up .. I will be copying this pattern .. my children will be attending Hogwarts Summer School in August ... these would be brilliant!

[Daisy]

That is really a cute bookmark. I wanted to have a peek at the pattern you used, but it said the "site was unavailable"......whatever that means.
I'd like to try and make one. It doesn't really look that hard, but for me it will take days, lol!

[luckybmr]

Great job. I just bought the newest HP book today for a friends birthday next week - that would make a perfect little extra. I on the other hand I am waiting to get the latest HP book for myself on my Christmas List to my family. My brother and sil usually get it for me when the new paperbacks come out. I think I can wait until Christmas - I still have the last two to finish reading - almost half way thru the second last one.

[Ladycrochat]

Well, Thank you to everyone for their kind words! I loved making it, and I am sure I will be making more in the future! I am not sure why the site is down, Daisy....Perhaps if you try later! Anyway, all these fine compliments mean a lot to me.....thanks again!

[KateCrochets]

I think everyone was so excited by how great Debbie's snitch turned out that we flooded the pattern site! :U

That is so cute! I can just see it flying through my books. I'll be one of those waiting for the site to come back up. Thanks for sharing, Debbie!!

[sakurasaku]

That's an awesome bookmark. It really captures the Golden Snitch. Perfect gift for HP fans.

great job!! :applause and thanks for sharing the link!

[Ladycrochat]

My pleasure evryone! It is fun to have a touch of Magic :mdust :2magic :mdust in my life!

[aliciasjoy]

That is super cute, you did a great job. I had made some HP book scarves last year (tiny knitted house scarves) and used #5 embroidery thread, and it does take forever! I started feeling embarrassed at how long they were taking me.
I'm definitely going to try the snitch, thanks for the link.

[Hazlecreek]

I really like that! I think that would make wonderful gifts!

[sunnywolfgar]

I like the design! good going. Love the colors you crochet with.

[Debbi-a1]

You did a GREAT job. I'm glad you found this pattern, I've never saw it. I am going to be making some (for me too).
Debbi
PS: The site is up this morning, I just went there.

[Arminab]

Your bookmark is so Beautiful!! Outstanding!! :)

[Ladycrochat]

Thank you everyone for your compliments and encouragement!:hug

[jaclim]

Very pretty! I've been eyeing that pattern as well because my nephew loves HP books and he has quite a collection already.

[Goldkeeper]

My DD saw this and she wants one too..I only have one shank of DMC 5 metallic pearl gold ..:think I wonder if that would work..:hook

[MrsD]

That's fantastic!

[Ladycrochat]

Thank you again, and Goldkeeper...it may be enough.....it doesn't use much thread! Try it...you can always get more if you need it!

[Fonda]

My nepher is a big Harry Potter fan I'm going to make this as a Christmas for him. I need to find the gold ball of thread.

[diamond]

That turned out really nice in the golden thread. I made one a year or so ago for a swap partner and found it an easy pattern to follow.

[slicer]

Love your snitch! I tried this pattern a week or so ago and got stuck on the wings. I'll have to take another look at it.

[thebratfink]

It looks terrific! :clap





:devil

[miller3602]

I can't access the pattern!!:(

[Becks]

Great job! :clap I haven't tried this pattern yet. I've only made the Gryffindor scarf bookmark. I can't believe it only took you two hours to make! Wow! Awesome! :yay

[Riohnna]

Way cool!

[olive]

It turned out great. Nice work!

[Sofia]

Thanks for the link.
I am thinking of giving each of my students a bookmark for their summer reading.

Anyone have a dragon?

[Katchkan]
