Here they are--

I have 2 gnomes in the brown color, 2 in orange and one in midnight black/blue. I wanted to make sure there were boy colors.

I cant decide if I want to dress the bendies... they look like they are wearing clothes, and ds just loves them they way they are. Each receipient will get 3 bendies in a little cloth carrying case. I am working on 5 sets.

They are so cute and small.

So, yeah, there they are

. I am really excited about this swap!

Adorable! I need to get my bum in gear and wade through those posts for inspiration. My Gram is visiting next week and I'm going to see if she can teach me to knit those little gnomes. I am severely knitting and crochet impaired.

cute cute cute! I wish I hadn't dropped out... oh well, things to do before baby comes, money to make before DH loses his job... Mama needed new shoes, all should be well...

but I love them!!!

Thanks!

It took me a looooooooooooong time to get knitting down, but once I figured out that I was doing it backwards, it all came so easy. Having someone teach you would be perfect. It would make it easier than trying to read instructions from a crappy book, lol.

My boys love the gnomes, heck, I love the gnomes. Tonya did such a good job on the pattern, I can get one done in an evening.

Weeellll, I just loved the tiny pockets you did w/ the embroidery on them. If you are interested in a gnome, maybe we could work something out before Christmas.
