Small Stuff

This page is about my new obsession--knitting gnomes. The interesting thing (to me anyway) is that way back when we made our first trip to Iceland, I lugged home a ton of Icelandic wool...and I had no idea at that time how to knit or crochet. So the yarn sat in a closet for a long time. A few years ago I took an adult ed knitting class and started to knit, but still never touched the Icelandic wool. And then, last week, I stumbled across a pattern for a gnome online...and all of a sudden I was off and running. Since the “hidden people” play a key role in Icelandic life, I'm glad I have my Icelandic wool to knit with.

Process: I used all parts of the Inkling Classic Release for this layout except the template, giving the gnome some Threadz to stand on as well as a few brushes colored blue. I used orange brushes to complement the little dog gnome, and two of the multimedia elements included in the release as well as bits and pieces of others.

Love everything, especially the gnomes. When & how do I place my order?
Aw, you're sweet. I'm basically knitting gnomes to finally learn how to use double-pointed needles--that's been a real challenge. The ones above are for my daughter (the orange dog is their Oliver, who passed from bladder cancer on Dec. 1 at only 7 years of age). The next dozen are slated for the charity donation basket at my other daughter's shop https://www.haranamarket.com/. I did knit pumpkins last year, and we were able to donate almost $700 to worthy charities in the area. Hoping to beat that amount with the gnomies. :) When I've done my Harana quota, and I haven't burned out, it's entirely possible there will be a gnome with your name on it. :)
