OVERVIEW
You’ll get updates from Dec 1-21, but you won’t be told to knit every day. Some days, you’ll open the update to find a clue to knit. The other days will bring part of our charming story, special treats, or a recipe or two for traditional gnomish delights.
The Wee Three Gnomes are beginner-friendly gnomes. If you’ve never knit a gnome before, these are good ones to start with. Each one has a special little something that makes them stand out that might teach you something new, but I’ve focused on simple and fun.
NOTE - You will be buying this as an eBook this time. It will not change your experience of the knitalong - it but allows me to better organize the files after the knitalong is over in compliance with Ravelry’s database rules.
OPTIONS!
The three gnomes can either stand on their own or dangle from your bag strap, tree, wreath, or wherever you’d like a gnome to hang out. You’ll see these referred to as “Standing” or “Hanging” gnomes.
Also, the gnomes have been designed for both DK and fingering weight. The DK gnomes will be larger, of course. They’ll still be small, but perhaps not quite ‘ornament small’. I guess that’s a matter of taste (or tree size)! There will be no difference in how the gnomes are worked - the instructions are the same, just the finished size varies.
