My sister gave me a gift card for my birthday and so I have acquired this long-awaited book! Let the LOTR fandom knitting commence...

Looks like am running quite low on ideas at the moment that this just happened to fit the scraps for the most part. There’s also not much else that can be done with the three colors that is. Of course it’s more of a matter of having the time to do something that will fit a theme. Already had some doors so may as well have gone there, but then again there be only about 15 or so ideas left which might’ve worked. That is had it been easier to come up with something.

The Lord of the Rings - Rivendell

This build took weeks of on and off building and researching, and while I may not be completely happy with the end result, I've had enough, and am declaring my latest Middle Earth build finished.

There is no interior to any of the build, and a lot of the exterior was made up by me as I found the available reference material very lacking. Most of the main structure was based off the collectors model from Weta Workshop and screenshots from the movies.

My plan to knit a LOTR themed hat & cowl to go with the red coat and Star Wars themed purse I got last winter is going great! I finished the hat...just in time for the weather to be like 80-some degrees out. :-D

Anyway, it's a lovely hat and the cowl is going nicely too, and at least I will have them done in plenty of time* for next winter.

*or maybe I won't. extreme project delay HAS been known to occur, after all! But at least I have a very pretty hat. XD

Noble Maiden Hat and One Ring Cowl, both from The Fellowship of the Knits and both in Knit Picks Gloss DK, which is lovely and soft and smooshable! The white yarn is Bare but the gold/brown is Harvest which is not currently available - hopefully just seasonal and not discontinued, but who knows. (And hopefully I don't run out now!)

Got bored and decided to do the doors as a small project, but it ended up being a bit larger than needed for a size, so it ended up becoming a medium card instead or rather it ended up the size of a medium card in regards to that it needed to be multiple layers. Regardless, still working on something else in the mind. It’s complicated, but I was thinking perhaps a little smallish thing. Haven’t exactly started on another idea, still thinking of something.

Currently reading Sansûkh because I am not able to move around much right now, and I was just thinking how like, all the interspecies ships HAVE to be collaborative works between Mahal and the other Valar, so basically they got together and made OC's specifically to fall in love and get married, and if that isn't fandom-coded behavior, idk what is.

Tldr: the Valar are a bunch of artist friends who get together and make dolls together so they can kiss and fall in love and get married 💕

Ooooh I know what motif I want on the double-knit gloves I'm planning to go with my One Ring Cowl and Noble Maiden hat! How about a White Tree of Gondor?

For reference, this is the hat and the just-barely-begun cowl:

And these are the double-knit glove prototypes I made a while ago with a fleur-de-lys chart I borrowed from here:

And this is what I've got so far for the Tree of Gondor gloves! I adapted a tree chart from here to make it fit in the panel for the backs of the gloves where the original set has the fleur-de-lys.

Still need to work on the left panel (which will be the palm); I don't know if I'll keep the little mini-crosses (they do match the stars above the White Tree motif, after all); if so I will probably get rid of the border at the bottom since I didn't have room for it on the tree panel and just keep the stars going that far down. Or maybe some other small LOTR-themed motif across the palm?

What about second breakfast?
