Attention House Blanket's buyers.

i hate to tell those of you in Ravenclaw who asked for book colors this, but after looking at every place in my town that sells yarn, i have yet to find any bronze. everything is either too yellow or too brown. it's pathetic, really...

so, if you all still want one and don't mind the use of movie colors, then i'll be glad to continue with your order. if not, please tell me now.

sorry guys/gals. i really am...

Just randomly, I found the same problem when looking for wool for my scarf, I had to go with movie colours because there is nothing remotely bronze around. Stupid orange and brown. *fist shakes* XD

it really is annoying. i feel bad i can't find any.

The bronze I am using is kind of brown-ish :P I'd take a picture so you could see the color, but I don't have a camera :(

[loved-gamgee.livejournal.com]

no...but i have it. *wink*

I had that trouble getting a gold for my Gryffindor scarf. I finally found one in, of all places, a dollar store. I think the big craft stores have something against proper HP colours. :p

Finding a good green and gray-that-suggests-silver was much easier!

Orange works. Blue and orange.

[loved-gamgee.livejournal.com]

do you want me to use those for your's?

[harl.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Orange looks pretty close to bronze, if you get a darker orange and not...say...neon. :) I'd rather have that than silver. *nodnod*

Movie colors would be fine then. ^^

Yeah, I've been having that problem. I don't want to use Plymouth Encore colour recommended at atypically.com cause I don't feel like paying that much for yarn, but it's the only brone colour I've found that I like. When I make my PoA Ravenclaw book scarf I'll probably mix that with some other yarn.

Off topic, movie colours are fine. What yarn are you using anyways? Also, I'm nearly done with my own scarf and I was planning on getting started on the stuff for you sometime this weekend (or next week) and I was wondering which you would like for the main colour; black or yellow. Also, how bright would you like the yellow, or whould I bug lenabee about what she's using for your scarf?

black for the main color. and it doesn't matter how bright or dark the yellow is, just no too baby doodoo yellow. hehe

and it really is annoying. stupid yarn people don't know what business they're loosing by not having Hogwarts colors. i think they're discriminating against wizards and witches. stupid Muggles...

I found some i liked in a nice bronzy color and i bought it and crocheted my self a nice little headband.

But I'm in Japan, so i don't think it's easy to find :X
