Savour the Gnoment

Like so many of us, Gnarina likes to knit her travels into her projects. Her trip to Churchill, Manitoba, to see the Gnorthern Lights thrilled her to her very core (as well as chilled her to her very core)! She’s busy knitting the last piece of an outfit inspired by those dancing lights and starry skies. Will she be done in time to show off at the next knit night?
