The Forests of Arda Cardigan, for when you want to channel Legolas in an Elven coat… #showmeyourknits #knitsky

This is my favorite photo of the Forests of Arda Cardigan.

The goal was to design an Elven coat that was functional and warm—echoes of Legolas in the bracers. Something that, when put on, made me feel *just a little bit* like I was stepping into Middle Earth. #showmeyourknits #knitsky

Before the FOA Cowl, I didn’t knit accessories—sweaters all the way. But cowls are a great palette for motifs—& pretty cozy in brisk wind! Some insisted they needed to be sweaters, too. 🤣😅 So, I’m over here on the eve of the Fosteriana (🌷) release casting on the cardigan version. 🤪 #showmeyourknits

Filmed a little tutorial today where I showed off my not so brilliant embroidery skills! 😅🤪 Hoping to release the Fosteriana Cowl next week on the first day of Spring. 🌷 🧶 #knitting

We’re having a cold snap here. Lately, my daughter bursts inside, all red nosed and bright eyed. “Mommy! Do you have a cowl I can wear? It’s sooo cold.” Yes, sweetheart, I sure do. This sample has basically been claimed as her own. #knitsky

#wipwednesday on an upcoming design. Ironically, I’m wondering if I should have sized DOWN a needle size for the colorwork (this is due to the increases needed to create the cables). I have learned SO much since Forests of Arda! #knitting

My Valentine Sweater…I’ll probably wear it while I #knit on the sofa…since I don’t really celebrate, but it would be perfect for a fancy dinner. 🫣😂 #showmeyourknits #anneofgreengables
