Arwen Wrap



A wrap worthy of Arwen. The scallops in the border echo the hilt of the sword of her beloved. The lacy body reflects the peaceful elven beauty of Rivendell.


Despite its complicated look, the wrap is quick to knit due to the larger yarn and large needles.


The rectangular wrap is knit in two identical pieces and then grafted together at the center. Pattern contains full written and chart instructions.


Pattern is available for download via Ravelry or in print from my etsy store.

Arwen Keyhole Scarf


This quick-to-knit, little keyhole scarf is the final piece to Arwen’s Elven Accessory set. It is a great way to add a little warmth on those cool Rivendell days and it adds a splash of color near your face.

It has all the advantages of a cowl but you don’t have to muss your hair to remove it. This low-yardage project takes around 150 yards so it is perfect for a last minute gift or that luxury yarn splurge.

Pattern is available as a download through Ravelry or in print version through my etsy store.

Arwen Cowl


At the prompting of my friend Linda, I added another piece to Arwen's elven accessory set – a cowl to ward off the evening chill of Rivendell.

This one can be worn two ways – with points up or down.

A quick knit that would be great for gifts.

The pattern comes in three sizes for custom fit and includes an option for a wimple, a longer cowl that covers the head and neck. I recommend knitting the L for a wimple to allow room for it to comfortably fit the head.

Arwen Fingerless Gloves



These delicate little gloves will keep your hands warm without interfering with the use of your fingers. Perfect for wearing while knitting or doing other hand work. These gloves coordinate with the rest of Arwen’s elven accessories.



Knit in the round on dpns or circulars, this low yardage pattern will allow you that luxury yarn splurge without breaking the bank. Since they don’t require a lot of yarn, this is a great project for using up that odd skein of yarn.



Ribbing in the hand makes the pattern fit a wide variety of sizes. Comfortably fits hands 7 – 8.5 inches (measured at the knuckles). Length is adjustable. They knit up quickly for last minute gift giving.

Arwen Cloche Hat


My friend Linda reminded me that Arwen needed some accessories to match her comfy slipper socks. I thought she’d enjoy a lacy, close-fitting cloche. The gentle ripples of lace will frame her lovely elven face.

Knit in the round from the bottom, this hat is a quick knit that is perfect for gifts. Knit it in wool for winter warmth or in cotton blend for fun, warm weather wear.

Stitch pattern works best in light to medium solid or semi-solid colors.
Multi-sized pattern includes sizes for most infants through adult. All but the largest size can be knitted from 100 yards of yarn or less. This is a terrific stash buster project.

Time • Lord Socks


These socks were designed for my husband. I needed a pattern that was manly but not as boring to knit as the plain vanilla socks he generally prefers. I found my inspiration while catching up on episodes of my favorite television show.


The little boxes reminded me of the windows of that mysterious blue call box


and the toe forms a spiraling vortex reminiscent of time and space, so naturally the pattern is named for my favorite doctor.

The modular look is well suited for the man in your life but not out of place in a more feminine color. The stitch pattern is bold enough to stand up to many variegated yarns. The slightly asymmetrical stitch pattern helps break up pooling. The cuff has enough stretch to comfortably fit a number of leg widths.


Construction is top down with a pointed vortex toe that doesn’t require the kitchener stitch and that fits narrower feet or long toes exceptionally well.
