The Golden Snitch

Yet another Harry Potter themed object! This time it's a golden snitch, just like the first one Harry caught in his first game of Quiddich! Free Pattern Available Here! This was a very fun pattern to make, and very simple. I have made this one out of two different yarns and this one is the one that looks best. I made this one with size 2mm needles, using Moda Vera yarn 75% Viscose 25% Metallic  the ball is made from gold and the wings from silver. This was a very hard yarn to work with however, the metallic strand incorporated into the yarn hurt my fingers a bit while holding the yarn, but it gave it a very nice finished look!
One more pattern that has been approved for my Harry Potter goodie bags (the one I'm making for each guest attending my movie marathon once the last DVD comes out!)  I'm still trying to perfect my House Elf pattern working on getting the face to look right, and I havent figured out what to use for the eyes just yet.... Its proving to be a bit difficult, from looking at the photos on google images I'm looking at making HUGE eyes on a smallish face, I'm a little bit worried that using polymer clay is not going to make the cut for making eyes, and I cant figure out where to get dolls eyes at any shop. Will have to make several attempts at creating them I'm sure... but we will get there eventually =) Any tips would be much appreciated!

As I said I'm still working on the pattern and creation of the House Elf, the pattern will still be free to you all once I get it right.
And I'm still looking for a nice cat, owl, and magical wand pattern to put in my goodie bags.  I will keep you all updated on the progress!
