Randír
Fading: Randír - meaning wanderer
An Elven Reckoning - a year of knits from the last homely house is a collection of twelve beautiful garments and accessories inspired by the stories of Elves that inhabit Middle-Earth from J.R.R. Tolkien’s books.
In this book designer Sarah Alderson will take you on a journey through the six seasons that make up an elven reckoning.
The twelve beautiful patterns feature a wide range of design elements, from cables to stranded colourwork, slipped stitch patterns to lace. Sarah has created a pattern for every person (and Elf!).
Pretty lace leg warmers to accompany you on any journey or adventure over grassy hills and through wooded valleys.
These leg warmers feature a repeating lace pattern, with lots of stretch, knit in the round, with ribbed cuffs to hold them in place.
