Gnome

Since I didn't have a chance to get to the craft store for some white chenille stems until today I had to keep on knitting. I was having trouble decided what royal robes the king and queen would wear. In my yarn stash tub two balls of red and white yarn floated up to the top. I had purchased these in September intending to make a holiday gnome or two. I found the 'alan dart' pattern and he knitted up really fast. Seated he is 10 inches tall, just perfect for a mantle or shelf. Extremly knittable in lots of colors he will not be one of a kind in this house. Tomorrow I'll make a decision on the royal family in the daylight. Yarn looks different at night even with an ott light.
