Harry Potter and Knitting Buisness

So as you know I knitted a fabulous Hufflepuff scarf for the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 premiere. I havnt blocked it yet but I will soon.
My friend Kinos, awesome guy, is buying a scarf off of me for 25 bucks. Which got me thinking, my hat sales may have flopped but sweaters and the rest wont. I finally got in contact with gerri two weeks ago and shes comming over on wesnesday, technically tomorrow, to draw up a contract.
We wont necisarrily be working together. We profit from what we alone make, however, we will refer eachother, and our buisness will be called falk and finns. We will also be creating patterns together. We planned a falk and finns buisness since we were in 4th grade and its finally happening. The buisness is more of a paying hobby. Well have to look up copyright laws, and buisness laws as im not entirely sue how to handle taxes with this, but Kinos is more than willing to be my "lawyer".
As of Kinos's scarf? It was entrelac but i had to stary over because it wasnt what he wanted. the scarf is going well but my carple tunnel is being a bitch. I need wrist braces really bad.
I am buying buisness cards on wednesday with Gerri, cheap ones, 250 for like 7 bucks, but they will get the job done and the word out.
I'm excited. Are you?

Sorry for spelling errors. My phone doesnt have spellcheck and if you know me, you know ive been a terrible speller my whole life.

Harry Potter

I just finished this Hufflepuff scarf, I will upload it soon to my ravelry. I can not wait to see Harry Potter tomorrow night! I should be sleeping but im just too excited. Jushi and I are going to see the double feature. YAY.

Here is the pattern: I did not create the checkered & H pattern. Just for clarification, i count a row as a finished row. so row one is the row after the cast on. i don't know how normal patters do it, i read it that way.
Yellow - MC, Black - CC




CO 30 in MC
R1-32: KMC
R33&34 - KCC
R35-38 - KMC
R39&40 - KCC
R 41 - K2CC, K2 MC, repeat to end
R 42 - K2MC, K2 CC, repeat to end
R 43 - K2MC, K2CC, repeat to end
R 44 - K2CC, K2MC, repeat to end

R 45 - K2CC, K2 MC, repeat to end

R R48: Checkers 5 times, K4MC, K4CC, K4MC, K4CC, 
R 49: Checkers for 6 sets, K2 MC, K4CC, K4MC, K4CC, K2MC, checkers to end
Repeat 47&48, alternating checkers for 5 sets (1 odd row, 1 even row)
R 59 - 7 Checker sets, K12CC, 5 Checker sets
R60 - 5 Checker sets, K12CC, 7 Cherker sets
Repeat 47&48 for 5 more sets

R 71 - K2CC, K2 MC, repeat to end
R 72 - K2MC, K2 CC, repeat to end
R 73 - K2MC, K2CC, repeat to end
R 74 - K2CC, K2MC, repeat to end
R 75 - K2CC, K2 MC, repeat to end
R 76 - K2MC, K2 CC, repeat to end

R83 - KCC
R84 - KCC
R85-116: KMC
R117-148 - KCC

End with H patter starting at R84 & working backwords to R1
