Thank you! This is my own design, and I don’t have a pattern or kit available (maybe one day!). There are lots of great LOTR themed patterns by other artists on Etsy so hopefully you can find something else to add to your project list 🙂

I thought about it but decided not to! I was ready to be done with it so I just trimmed up the ends and left them as a fringe

started this blanket in August, thought I’d have it done by December, ran out of yarn, the colors I needed were out of stock for months, finally got my hands on more, powered through the last 1/3 of this project in less than two weeks. what a journey

this was a fun little experiment - appliqué embroidery, beading, and using colors I don’t usually go for

happy love day 🫶🏼 we’ll be celebrating in our house by potty training our toddler and counting down until her bedtime so we can watch severance 🙃 but in the meantime enjoy these pretty pink hoops in honor of the day
