This evening we are going to a birthday party for an eleven-year-old Harry Potter fan. The young lady in question is saving up for a Kindle so we are giving cash, but I wanted to add a personal touch. I googled “harry potter crochet patterns” and found this one over at Inner Child Crochet. Have I mentioned how much talent is out there in the internet? Every time I go out on a google journey, I alternate between inspiration (people are so creative!) and despair (I’ll never be that creative!).

I crocheted this golden snitch up in under an hour with cotton and a 2.5mm hook, and added the loop on top to make it a keychain.

Here it is flying in our garden:

And hanging out on the lilac tree:

Just waiting to be caught!

In other crochet news, the Olaf and Elsa patterns I used for Things 13-15 are now available in English. Merci, Tout un Fil!

Cost of this Thing: 0
