Knit your way across J. R. R. Tolkien’s Middle-earth, from the Shire’s idyllic countryside to the Elfin palaces of Rivendell, with this first-ever Lord of the Rings knitting guide. With patterns to suit your every otherworldly mood, this book includes cozy knits to languish by the fire in at Bag End, rustic outerwear to enjoy a beer and a warm bowl of stew at The Prancing Pony Inn, and elegant laces suited for the lush, peaceful valley of Rivendell. Inspired by the popular books and film adaptations—including beloved characters, locations, and natural elements––this guide features a variety of knitting techniques, like cables, lace, colorwork, brioche, and textured stitches, and it includes patterns for apparel, accessories, and home décor for every skill level. From the Hobbits’ warm, rustic knits and the Dwarves’ rugged armor to the intricate, lacy garments of the Elves of Rivendell, there’s a pattern to suit everyone in your life. With detailed instructions and stunning full-color photography, knit yourself an Elf Maiden Cloak, Second Breakfast Socks and Mittens, an Elven Bread Shawl, a Dwarf Battle Helmet, a One Ring to Warm Them All Scarf, a Precioussss Doll, and more with the help of this homage to the beautiful world of The Lord of the Rings.

Pages from Isho Sekai ("Design World") Volume 7, a woodblock kimono pattern book (hinagata bon). Absolutely gorgeous and brightly coloured, these books were used as fashion catalogues for clients to order various designs or as examples of popular designs available. Unfortunately, I cannot read Japanese but a rough translation gives the date "Printed May 10, 1892, Released May 15, 1891" although I have seen this book dated around 1901. Location is listed as "Nihonbashi District, Hamacho 3-Chome 1". and the Artist/Merchant (unclear in my translation) is Takijiya Watanabe, 3rd generation. I love my copy and have high res scanned and printed a version to pass around when I am at events so that others can see it without damage to the original.
