Arwen Tee
Discover the beauty of knitting with our Arwen design, crafted from delightful yarn found in my OML 2019 Swag Bag. The vibrant colors immediately inspired me, and after a thoughtful suggestion from a dear friend, I decided to incorporate a stunning leaf lace motif around the neckline, reminiscent of an elegant necklace. That's how the enchanting Arwen idea came to life!
