Over the holidays my husband and I went to go see The Hobbit. It had been far too long since the 2 of us went to see a good movie & I LOVED every minute of it. Just as in The Lord of the Rings everything about the film was great. It pulled me in, sparked my imagination, and of all things, inspired me to knit! The costumes in this movie were fabulously hand knit. I left the theater with about 4 new knitting patterns swimming in my head. I hope to complete these 4 designs and create a series of patterns from The Hobbit. The first pattern is for a pair of fingerless mittens that Ori the dwarf wears. The pattern can be purchased here.
As the weather here is turning colder, and the leaves begin to show their brilliant display, I find that I am once again feeling a draw towards my knitting. Don’t get me wrong. I do knit year around of course – but once fall comes around, I find it easier and easier to spend my entire day needles in hand. This can cause a problem for the amount of house work that then accumulates around me. Today for instance, I was going to focus getting all the laundry finished, and all or our floors cleaned. However, once I started looking at fall knit-ware, I was unable to pull myself away. Can you blame me? Take a look at some of the inspiring & fun knitting patterns I found.
