This pattern came from a late-night, exhausted conversation in a Tolkien fan group. One of the members said something about Legolas being admonished “you can’t just shoot people!” to which another member retorted, “it’s not shooting, it’s long distance stabbing.”

That caught everyone’s attention, and Long Distance Stabbing is now an arrow-themed cowl pattern and a tea available from Desert Sage Natural (www.desertsagenatural.com).
