Some small rocks from my yard, gave them a bath and dried before becoming gnome butts.

Did anyone just skip the weights and the cardboard circle on the bottom?

What a terrific idea!

I was struggling with the dpn’s during the class, so I grabbed a long circular and continued using magic loop instead – so much easier (for me, anyway)! Once I ditched the dpns, the gnomes are flying off my needles!

I use Flexiflips for my gnomes and love them.

For filling, I bought crushed gravelly stuff (not sure the material but I think it’s for potting plants). I also bought a box of hose used for trying on shoes. I put the gravel in the hose, tie it off and stuff. Works pretty well and I’m set for the rest of my life

I use two short circulars.

Here are my Four Seasons of Gnomes! I made Summer during class, and his three friends magically appeared over the weekend. 
What a fun class - thanks to everyone involved in bringing it to us! There will definitely be a gnome free-for-all, now that my seasonal gnomes (an idea that hatched while I was knitting the first one) are done.

Thanks Kay!
Also, I am a bit out of control with these Gnomes! Seriously, I have made 12 so far. My latest thought is that I will put one at each Thanksgiving place setting for the big meal.

Try a contrasting nose! Really easy and cute! She has a video for it!
Loved this class. All I want to do is knit gnomes. Kept my sanity during an MRI this morning by thinking up new designs!

I couldn’t attend in person, but I really enjoyed the recording. I have to mention what a lovely kit this is. It’s so much fun to play with all these colors. I used clothespins to make little bobbins out of the mini-hanks. I’m keeping all of the supplies and yarn in a basket so I don’t have to hunt for anything when the gnome knitting urge strikes. Here’s a photo of my basket and the gnome I knit during class. His name is Gnormie…he’s a bit of a curmudgeon, but he likes hot coffee, glazed donuts and good books…so he can’t be too much of a grouch.

uh-oh, I missed the class. Is there any way to see the video or a way to do a make up? sounds so fun.
