take that ridiculous thing out of your hair
Posted on June 11th, 2007 at 1:45 pmFinished socks! Really pretty and time consuming finished socks.
I call these Parvati.
Firstly, because Parvati’s Yule Ball robes were “shocking pink.” Secondly, and this is rather obscure I know, but I always seem to remember the moment in Goblet of Fire when McGonagall made Parvati remove an ornamental butterfly from her hair as they awaited the arrival of the other Triwizard schools. When I first saw the Gothic Spire pattern I saw butterflies within the design and my mind went from there.
Pattern:
Gothic Spire by Cookie A.
Yarn:
Ruby Socks that Rock by Blue Moon Fiber Arts. Leftover from Clapotis.
Comments:
Ditched one of the leg repeats. I’m short and my calves would be half covered by and utterly crammed into socks that long. Pretty though, no?

Pretty socks!!! I will have to check for that comment when I reread the book.

Truly lovely!

They came out gorgeous! (And I don’t think the butterfly reference is THAT obscure, as I always strongly associated Parvati with that butterfly hair ornament, too!)

Love the socks - they are definitely Parvati. That comment has always stuck in my head too…

They’re gloriously Parvati! I love them!

Wow, those are really freakin’ cool. I think they need a Lavender Brown counterpart, though (unless you’ve already done some Lavender Brown socks and I’m just revealing my ignorance, in which case please accept my apologies).

Hi I been following your blog for about a month now and I enjoy immensely the HP references, being HP obsessed myself I don’t find the Parvati reference obscure at all and the socks are very like her and very pretty too.

[…] noticed a moment ago that I haven’t updated on my knitting since I finished Parvati. When I finished them, I was down to one sock on the needles and THAT’S IT. Crazy stuff. […]
