named after the stone ruins in Fellowship of the Ring, where Frodo confronts and is stabbed by the Ringwraiths

When I saw Rowan’s Revive, a recycled blend of silk, cotton, & viscose, I was immediately struck by how much it looked like rock.The recycling does the same thing that geological forces do: merges many colors into one mottled color.

I began to get ideas (always a dangerous proposition). I wanted a little throw away scarf to toss on over my summer tanks and under my jean jacket - something vaguely organic looking.

After a little experimentation, I came up with a nifty little reversible pattern that you can whip up in a weekend or so.Only two balls yields a 60 inch long drape of stony goodness. Just right for a gift or a quick & easy vacation project. Adding another half ball will get you 75 inches.

Enjoy getting stoned! lol
