Snape and Nagini

This can only end badly.

Claire's Snape doll

Claire sent me this marvellous photo of a transfigured Minerva McGonagall keeping a close eye on the Severus Snape doll that she knitted from my pattern. I love it! Claire says that Severus was more or less the first knitting project that she has undertaken, apart from an iPod cosy. So several hundred house points to Claire, and a large plate of Fox's Choc Fudge Crunch Creams for the common room, methinks.

If you'd like to knit your own Snape, you can buy my pattern in my Etsy shop.

Voldemort and Nagini knitted dolls

New in my Etsy shop: Voldemort is about 15 inches tall and is hand-knitted from acrylic yarn. He is dressed in a floor-length evil-chap black robe with flared sleeves and black star fastening at front. He is wearing a jewel-encrusted snake pendant charm at his neck.


Nagini the snake is a whopping 19 inches long and has a flexible foam-covered wire stuffing, so she is fully posable - she's big enough to wrap around any of my Harry Potter dolls (hope she keeps away from Snape). She has a striped top, beige underbelly, ribbon tongue and black toy safety eyes.


Both Voldemort and Nagini are hand-knitted from my own patterns. If you'd like to make your own Snape or Lucius Malfoy dolls, you can buy my knitting patterns, too. Other Harry Potter dolls on the way!

Lucius Malfoy doll knitting pattern

This is my knitting pattern to make a 12 inch Lucius Malfoy doll. Lucius knits up on 4mm needles, using the double knitting yarn of your choice. He'd probably prefer something luxurious and expensive for his coat, but that's something you'll have to discuss with him.

Lucius is wearing an Edwardian-style smoking jacket with silver bead buttons, a grey cravat and a silver-buckled belt. He's carrying his trademark cane.

You can buy this 8-page knitting pattern in my Etsy shop.

Severus Snape plays Scrabble

So, if I've given ten points to Slytherin on a triple word square, that means that they get thirty points, is that correct? No? I think you'll find that I know the rules of this pathetically simple word game better than you do. Detention for the next six Saturdays.

Severus Snape knitted doll

Severus Snape is about 12 inches tall and knitted from acrylic yarn. He is dressed in his trademark Victorian frock coat complete with lots of tiny hand-sewn buttons and is delightfully grumpy.

He is hand-knitted from one of my own patterns and is looking forward to sitting in your house and taking house points away from you at every opportunity.

Buy Severus in my Etsy shop - or why not make your own from my pattern?

Happy birthday

Happy birthday to me.
