Nînim
Winter: Nînim - meaning snowdrop
An Elven Reckoning - a year of knits from the last homely house is a collection of twelve beautiful garments and accessories inspired by the stories of Elves that inhabit Middle-Earth from J.R.R. Tolkien’s books.
In this book designer Sarah Alderson will take you on a journey through the six seasons that make up an elven reckoning.
The twelve beautiful patterns feature a wide range of design elements, from cables to stranded colourwork, slipped stitch patterns to lace. Sarah has created a pattern for every person (and Elf!).
White and soft as snow, this warm and cozy Cowl is made for bright winter days. this beautiful cowl can also be worn as a wrap.
The cowl has a reversible lace and cable pattern that ensures no wrong side is ever visible - perfect for immaculate elves.
