Thanks to Susan Anderson and a very bad ABBA pun, I am on a bit of a Knit-All-The-Gnome’s spree! Well, at least 2 of them to put on the gifts for Steve’s mom! She is a bit of a Gnome-iac and has them everywhere in her yard. So, it is the most fitting gift! Ha!
As with all of Susan’s patterns this has brilliant construction and is a quick knit! Bonus… there are instructions on how to make a mini-pompoms on a fork!
The amaryllis watch is going well with significant growth this week! Plus, I now have a just-beginning-to-bloom paperwhite added into the mix (thanks to one of my Confirmation students!!)
But, perhaps the best thing of all this week was the success of Genevieve’s Carseat Poncho!! She LOVES it and, imo, looks just too cute in it! She would not take it off saying, “it’s my wings!!”
And, there you have it from me for the week! I will be back here on Monday! Have a great weekend!
What a happy post! I bought the gnome pattern yesterday, and they look so cute I may knit one sooner rather than later. Your amaryllis have taken off, and the blooming paperwhites are lovely. I’m so glad that Genevieve’s car seat poncho was such a huge success. That sweet girl deserves wings, especially ones that keep her warm!
I’m making some gnomes as well (though slightly more complicated ones). I think they are going to take over the world.
Genevieve knows how to rock that poncho!
The poncho turned out so well and looks fabulous on Genevieve! I love that she says it gives her wings. those gnomes are just too cute…and a pom-pom using a fork?? Sounds great!
That poncho is so cute! I love that she feels like she has wings.
I don’t really get the gnome thing, but it’s sweet of you to knit up gifts.
Oh poncho wings. And gnomes. Great gifts!!!!
I love all the things in this post (gnomes! amaryllis and paperwhites!) but Genevieve and her wings are the best of all.
I think the gnomes are so cute-maybe next year. I think they’d look adorable on cookie packages and gifts. Love the car seat poncho, and can you ever go wrong with a little disco and ABBA, I don’t think so!
What a successful end to your week – gnomes for someone who loves gnomes, growing flowers, and best of all that poncho. G. looks darling in it and of course she loves it – her grandmother made it just for her. May she never outgrow her love for wings.
Oh my, this post made me laugh out loud … and then SMILE! I’m most impressed with the gnome knitting, and paperwhites! and simply LOVE that poncho on little G. That’s a most awesome Nana make … and the photos are precious. Hope you’re enjoying a most Merry Weekend!
It appearts I am suffering from an earwurm after reading this post, hahaha… THe gnomes look very cute though !
love your silly gnome pun 🙂 The car poncho is a great idea! and she looks so cute in it.
Oh, Genevieve!! How cute!
I am on my second gnome (only because of limited time) and have gathered the materials for an ARMY!! 😉
