Another day another gnome

Here is a great shot of my lovely craft assistant who helped me assemble the 2nd gnome. He's in a heavier gauge of yarn, more worsted "checkheaton" and curly bearded. Using the same needles he's larger than the first. Yarn does make a difference.

My assistant slumbers in the tray I've been using to keep all of the body parts in. She looked at the tray, then me and I took all of the parts out just for her comfort. One eye kept track of the entire sewing of the gnome and she even stayed for the glam shot. She's a hard cat to get a good picture of. She's the best craft assistant though.

Dish cloth #2 is completed in record time. The third one of the set (in green) is already on the needles.
