The Tree of Gondor Sweater Finished

Guest blogger post by my oldest daughter about her sweater

my daughter's work 
After thirteen months I have finished my sweater. I added a hood to my sweater which I made over-sized like the cloak hoods of a woodland elves.

On it I have two dragons to symbolize Smaug.

I have also added gold colored hooks for the closers on my sweater. I am thinking of doing a second sweater but I have to see as to what yarn I have available, yarn my mom will give me ;). I think though for the pattern on it I will have a theme of wolves or animals of the night. If you have suggestions please leave photos or locations of patterns on Ravelry in the comments below.

  • tree of gondor
  • with a woodland elf hood
  • with smaug the dragon on the side of the hood
  • and the knot work is to represent the dwarfs
  • nine closures for the ring wraths
  • wizard is the color
  • where it goes around her middle finger is where frodo wore the ring last when it was bit off so it represents both frodo and the ring.

Note by Sunshine : We do not usually post on Sunday but this was important to me that I show her finished work as soon as I had photos of it.

  3. What an amazing project! I mean, it's beautiful all on its own, but knowing the "story" behind it makes it even better. You are quite a designer. :)
