WIP- Christmas gifts!

So as I told you last post, I just finished my exams, and now i have a whole chunk of free time, yay! I thought i'd have to do something productive on break so this year, I've decided to make all of my gifts. yup.
Christmas always creeps up on me, so usually I'm one of those people you see rushing through shopping malls -_- but this year, I'm saving myself. Although, I'm not sure if I'm going to meet my deadlines for all the gifts...........

This is something I'm in the process of making, my friend is a MASSIVE harry potter fan, so I went out to the craft store and i saw some LOVELY maroon yarn, (that was on sale no less) it was fate. The scarf had to be gryffindor. Oh, and I bought 8 balls. yeah. 8 balls for a scarf. crazy, right? But do you know want to know my 'logical' explanation? Well, first off, the scarf was going to have to be folded over and sewed up because the one in the movies never shows reverse stockinette. So i thought, "It only takes like, three balls to knit a normal scarf......SO THEN I HAVE TO DOUBLE IT!" and being the paranoid knitter i am, i grabbed an extra two balls 'just in case.' the scarf is turning out lovely, and did i mention the yarn is made up of 40% wool, 30% bamboo and 20% silk?! It's so lovely, and only cost $2 a ball! So, if i do have some left over (and i will.) I'll be happy to make it into a hat, or gloves or socks..................
