knitted hobbitWe know that Tolkien fans are a creative bunch – we’ve seen fan made paintings, drawings, sculptures, even cakes!  The latest Hobbity handicrafts to come to our attention are the brilliant creations of a lady in Wales.  Denise Salway knits characters from the Hobbit films, planning her own designs and sometimes taking over a month for one piece!  Readers may have seen her work on twitter, where she is @KnittingWitchUK, and where Stephen Hunter and Graham McTavish have admired her knitted Dwalin and Bombur! Read more about her amazing work – and see some stunning photographs – in this article.
