For one thing, the listing says...I would hold off. For one thing, the listing says the patterns will be based on the books, not so much the movie. So, I'm not sure if the designer will have the same type of vision as the film costumers.<BR/>Have a look at the cables on the Rogue hooded sweatshirt by Jenna Wilson, as well as the Mariah hooded cardigan by Jodi Green, and the Angband hooded sweater (variant of Rogue) http://dragoncrafter.livejournal.com/12319.html<BR/>Basically, I think any Celtic cable would look good.<BR/>MarieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2018082016938101964.post-25596800849559571522008-10-16T15:49:00.000+02:002008-10-16T15:49:00.000+02:00I am still working through my first pair of socks ...I am still working through my first pair of socks EVER and I am considering joining this sock club - it is a relief I am not the only one who is considering joining even though there are so many reasons not to! I keep trying to justify it by saying that i know so many LotR fans and I would have ALL the patterns and I would totally get sooooo much use out of them, etc. Save me from myself!Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12191934136558101400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2018082016938101964.post-43495396986369282562008-09-06T21:07:00.000+02:002008-09-06T21:07:00.000+02:00Well...I'm probably not the person to dissuade you...Well...I'm probably not the person to dissuade you, anymore than I'd be a good person to give anyone diet advice. I joined a sock club last year. It was "only" $80. I never knit a single one of their patterns, and two of the skeins of yarn I received were orange...yes, orange. The other one was lavendar, which I love, but I already had six skeins of purple shaded yarn. So, will I join another sock club? Of course.Carolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02782876823581408975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2018082016938101964.post-31623922440690916902008-09-04T21:56:00.000+02:002008-09-04T21:56:00.000+02:00I think not making an impulse buy is a very good i...I think not making an impulse buy is a very good idea. How to dissuade you...hmm the cost? lol That is the reason I've never been able to join any.<BR/><BR/>For your comment on my last post, I also included the yarn info in the post. :PTarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13254477803919429698noreply@blogger.com
