Thou Shalt Not Covet Thy Neighbor's Scarf

I once taught myself to knit. Out of a book. I never completed any projects (surprised?) but I was ticking along at a pretty swift pace.

It's been ten years since then. And I haven't had another thought of picking up knitting again until the last few weeks, especially since Amanda has been talking about her knitting. Her projects sound so beautiful! And now I'm actually starting to think about knitting again, myself, because...

I want a Slytherin scarf.

There's someone online who makes them, but she has too many orders and isn't taking new ones at the moment. However, she does have her pattern online here. And I am actually thinking of trying to make one, because...

I really, really want a Slytherin scarf.

And I haven't seen an acceptable replacement for sale anywhere, so now I am thinking about yarn and needles and such things.

What do you think? Could I do it?
