I have been assimilated. I knit gnomes now. But look at that leaf at the tip of the hat! It’s worth every fiddly stitch.

And now that she has blossomed into being, I can see that her name is ‘Hyacinth.’

I added extra yarn to her braids, but they could still be thicker. Next time I might add in a little wire so they can arranged expressively. Her hair is dark green, although the pics don’t show it very well.
