Notes

A - green
B - red
C - orange and fleshy palette
D - Magrat

Clue 1

Bit 1 - orange, looks beard like

Bits 2+3 - fleshy for C, and green
Look like arms

Bits 4+5 - red and magrat. A basket maybe

Bits 6+7 - look feet like. I did them in orange instead of green.

Bit 8 - done in the fleshy color because It looks like a gnose.
I also did this bit on the smaller needles for a slightly smaller whatever it is.

Featured gnome is Gnewt

Clue 2

Done in color A. Sarah doesn’t say to bury ends yet, so I didn’t.

Featured gnomes are Gnewt and the Gnoodles.

Clue 3

For Color B I used the orange on rows 29 and 40. The red has some orange in it, so it blends nicely while not being stark.

I think it turned out looking like flowers in the grass.

Featured gnomes are February2 and 3, March 1, and April 3 Gnoodles

Clue 4

I knit a written.

Featured gnomes are Gnewt and the Gnoodles.

Clue 5

I replaced Color B with the orange on round 7 because it felt dark with the red and green.

Featured gnomes are Gnewt, February 1, 2, and 3 and April 2 and 3 Gnoodles.

Clue 6

Used the orange for color C.

I made the stuffing more difficult for myself by sewing in the plastic disc at the gills.
It was worth it, ‘cause I like the outcome.
I wish I had taken a picture.

When I knit the topknot on the hat, I must have had a real death grip on the needle, because I broke one of my US 1s.

I’m skipping the basket, as my bits 4 + 5 of clue 1 blend in with the body.

Featured gnomes are The Prof obviously, and the February, March, and April Gnoodles.

The Prof’s mustache curls opposite to most of the other gnomes I’ve seen from this pattern. I’m pretty sure it’s because I knit left handed.
