This pattern was inspired by Arwen, wife of King Aragorn and a great lady in her own right. She was the daughter of Elrond, but chose mortality to be with Aragorn all her life. The stitches used in this bag are rather Elvish-looking, to fit the theme.
I have not yet had this test-knit, so if you try to knit it and have trouble, it is probably my fault. Please send me a message if you would like to test-knit it or have tried and had problems.
