Rhien
Autumn: Rhien - meaning crowned lady, queen
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!).
Named after my Nan, “Queenie”, who loved to wear elegant shawls wrapped around her neck like royalty.
This shawl is knit sideways and can be adapted to make full use of any skein of laceweight yarn.
