Note 2

I'm just curious--

If I were to offer commissions on, say, custom knitted things like scarves or hats...and I charged about five sickles per product, would anybody be interested?

I would most certainly be interested. Would you be willing/interested in keeping a project a secret?

Ohhh, is this a surprise gift?

Yes, I certainly can keep it a secret and I won't charge extra for that!

[Filtered] icyhowitis September 20 2011, 05:23:54 UTC

It is indeed. I appreciate your discretion.

How quickly can you finish a project? (A matter of curiosity, as I know nothing about knitting. The person in question's birthday is in a week, and it would be positively brilliant if that were a realistic goal. If not, I'm still quite interested.)

It depends on how much goes into it. Patterns and multiple colours take me a little longer, for example. Length of the scarf--well--I've been devising a way to set my needles on autopilot for when I'm in class so that's less of a factor than what the actual scarf looks like.

So, if you give me an order, I can give you an estimate date it'll be ready.

Well, I was hoping that you could make a pair of scarlet gloves with two or three thin stripes of gold on the cuff. Would that be possible?

Gloves! I can have that done in a snap, gloves and mittens are actually my speciality!

--Or, well, I don't really mean a snap, I mean I can have that done in a week, maybe slightly less.

Hang on. Let me guess. Let me guess--it's for Jin, right?

Oh, excellent!

I, er. Well. Yes, actually. I would ask how you knew, but I suppose you are his fellow Gryffindor, and I wasn't particularly subtle.

Well that, and his birthday's the day after mine. I can always tell because he gets all the more manic on those days.

Oh, is it? I did not know that. Happy early birthday to you.

...I'm not surprised, to be honest. I would pity his fellow seventh-year Gryffindors, if I didn't know they were just as...interesting.

[Filtered] bingotothat September 27 2011, 20:28:30 UTC

...Interesting. That's one way of putting it.

[Filtered] icyhowitis September 27 2011, 20:45:58 UTC

...You're telling me.
