Housekeeping

"Perhaps all artists were, in a sense, housewives: tenders of the earth household."

- Erica Jong

I am a lousy housekeeper.

No ifs, ands or buts. I would rather be creating something new, than maintaining something old.

My house is a pit, my lacework impeccable - sigh...

Which is why it has taken me this long to put my house in order.

Now that all of the patterns in the Fellowship of the Ring series (first of the Lord of the Rings Collection) are out, I have compiled them into both a comprehensive E-book of all 13 patterns (including Evenstar) for $60. This is a $12 savings over purchasing them individually.

I have also separated them into three"mini-collections" of four patterns each.

Wee Wonders $18

four small accessory patterns

Bag End, Goldberry, Rivindell, & Bombadil

Traveling Togs $22

four cabled patterns

Argonath, Dwarrowdelf, Lothlorien, & Strider

Elven Delicacies $25

four lace patterns

Evenstar, Galadriel's Mirror, Legolas, & Mithril

This way, those of you who love lace, or cables, or small projects can purchase a selection that includes only your favorites and still take advantage of a reduced price.

You can purchase here on the sidebar, or on Ravelry's website. Either way, you will download through Ravelry, so can keep the patterns in your library if you so desire.

You do NOT have to be a member of Ravelry to use their download provider.

I have also made another page that features the Fellowship Patterns.

CHART 2 CORRECTION: Row 24, sq 23 should be purl symbol

This pattern was very difficult to proof, due to the sheer volume of the written directions. I now have corrections from at least 5 different people who have each caught something the others did not. I have chosen to chart more complex patterns in the past due to this difficulty.

I am not a written directions person. I knit from the chart.I know however that many of you would not be knitting these patterns were they only available as charts. I do not want to exclude you.

I had hoped that proofing would be enough, but in this case, it appears it was not. Again my apologies for your frustration.

If any of you written directions peeps would like to test knit, please let me know. My test knitters are chart readers & clearly I need someone to test the written directions as well.

I hope this is the end of the difficulties. I share your pain...
