Calling All Wizards, Lookout For Harry Potter Cross Stitch Kits
Julia Wigham
J.K. Rowling reopened the wonderful world of wizardry to kids both young and old when her incredible work, "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" was published in 1997. This series has been topping the favorites lists everywhere ever since. Many crafters have been searching for Harry Potter Cross Stitch Kits as a way to proudly display their love of these fascinating characters.
In a number of cross stitch forums on the Internet, people are asking about Harry Potter crafts. Harry Potter cross stitch enthusiasts are looking for any pattern based on images from what has become the crown jewel of fantasy. There is an outcry for Harry Potter cross stitch kits and patterns. Perhaps some manufacturer or designer of cross stitch kits will take advantage of this golden opportunity and step in to fill the void.
One craft enthusiast has produced a number of Harry Potter graphs to be used for making afghans either by knitting or crocheting. While these graphs are not specifically for cross stitch, they could probably be used for it, with the designer's permission, of course. You can go to http://groups.msn.com/louisesinbreipatronen/harrypotterpatronen.msnw to see what she has come up with.
There are actually quite a few Harry Potter groups in the Internet crafting world. You must register for these groups before you can read or post anything. However, the plus sides to joining are that it's free, and it's a great way to maybe discover new patterns that you didn't know existed. People on these groups are usually really friendly, and it's a remarkable way to connect people from everywhere in the world by bringing them together to discuss their common interest. It's amazing to see how many people share the same love for Harry Potter.
There is also a Harry Potter-themed forum (The Leaky Cauldron) that has all types of crafts patterns created by the forum users. Patterns for plastic canvas can often be adapted to create cross stitch patterns, and there are a number of them on this forum. However, no matter how creative these patterns might be, these just don't do the trick for most die-hard cross stitchers.
A Frenchman, Frdrique Deviller, created an entire cross stitch booklet packed full with some 60 Harry Potter patterns including wizard symbols and each of the favorite characters. This booklet, produced by Mango Practique, and located at "Cross Stitch Direct" in Bromsgrove, UK, has become a rather rare collector's item for Harry Potter lovers of all ages. Although it is in high demand, it is hard to find, and there's a strong possibility it's no longer published.
Many stitchers prefer a kit containing all the necessary supplies for completing a project. At this point, there have not been any authorized Harry Potter cross stitch kits available. Several people have created Harry Potter cross stitch designs that they are selling on eBay. This might be your only option if you are looking for Harry Potter cross stitch patterns.
