Never Not Gnoming
To celebrate my very first Gnome MKAL, all my gnome patterns are 25% off until the first clue drops on March 11! Use code “GnomeDePlume”.
Gnomes! Whimsical, dapper, endlessly delightful. I find making them so addictive that my teenaged son started to joke that I needed my own hashtag: #nevernotgnoming. Once I started I could hardly stop, and soon I was improvising ways to make them faster and simpler.
You’ll get three gnome patterns in one: a small gnome ornament, a medium gnome that stands, and a larger gnome to rule whimsically and benevolently over all other gnomes. You also get 2 beard styles - horizontal and vertical.
Gnicholas is an ornament, with a rounded bottom and a passion for birding and perfecting his homemade granola. Gnatasha is about the same size, but plumper and she stands on her own. She’s from Gnew Zealand and likes artisanal pickles. Gnorbert, on the other hand, is a big gnome and he has a complicated history with triathlons. (I can’t seem to stop knitting them or giving them rich personal interiors.)
