Someone To Write Gnome About

Gnock your socks off! A larger gnome jam-packed with personality!

A great way to learn to knit socks - you’ll be done that heel before you can believe it. Full tutorial video included.

Gnock wants to be a professional hammock tester when she grows up. In summer, she likes to read biographies while swinging gently in her hammock. She finds the contrast between their exploits and her state of relaxation heightens the experience.
