I've been knitting too. and for those who haven't seen I finished a Valentine Gnome yesterday. The hat is not to my liking but will look up more on Pinterest. I want to do some more gnomes, 1 for each holiday - stpats, easter, a summer gnome etc... I joined a FB group where people just make gnomes. of course theirs are big - I just want small ones. I've been toying with the idea of making gnome ornaments for my friends for next Christmas.

Will go to dollarstore today and maybe find more stuff to make the gnomes.. I might make some with legs and they need shoes (seems you can use the ones in the 'baby shower' section) and more fur for the beards or thick white wool.

Lucie ~ I love gnomes. Yours is darling, and fits perfectly on your tiered rack. Great idea to make seasonal/holiday gnomes.

These are ornaments I made in 2018 using a combination of these two tutorials:

Pom Pom Gnome Ornaments: https://liagriffith.com/pom-pom-gnome-ornaments/

This tutorial is similar and has a link to the pattern I used for the hat: https://flamingotoes.com/wee-little-gnome-pom-pom-ornaments/

I used machine decorative stitches on the hats.

Did some knitting (socks) yesterday, but probably more frogging.

Thanks DD!
I had seen a tutorial using glove fingers and bought a load of magic gloves at the dollar store this morning. They didn't have faux-fur anymore but I bought some thick white wool. Also bought some felt in rolls and some stretchy fabric for hats.

I have seen these pom pom gnomes and thought I could make some this year, they are fun.

DD thinks she might like to make these for Christmas. We will try to make a few this summer. Thanks for sharing.
