What happens in Lórien...Stays in Lórien? Nah!

“Never before have we clad strangers in the garb of our own people. May these cloaks help shield you from unfriendly eyes.”
--Celeborn, LOTR








I finally finished my woven scarf that I started way back in September.  It turned out more beautiful than I had imagined and even though it was a complete pain to weave using Mohair, it was totally worth it.  I named this project:

What happens in Lórien...
 I found inspiration from the Lord of the Rings.  I thought about the colors of the cloaks that the Elves of Lorien gave the Fellowship of the Ring.  Of course, I made this as a gift.  Ok, I should have waited until Christmas but...I didn't want to wait another two months so I presented it to my Aunt Janet.  She is one amazing lady and has been amazing to me growing up.  She has been more of a mother to me than the woman who really is/was.  I hope she enjoys this scarf.
Unfortunately, I warped my loom before Nerd Wars so I wasn't able to count this in my work even though it took the whole October.  That's ok, it was a bonus project.  When she wears it, may she be met only with friendly eyes.
