Woolly Gnome

...And the prize for the goofiest thing ever knit by me goes to... The Woolly Gnome!

This little dude is going to be part of my dad's Christmas present. He not so subtly conveyed his recent attraction to garden gnomes and his desire to be given more if I were to ever be at a loss for gift ideas. Since I have vowed to make all of my Christmas gifts this year, this was what I could do for him, gnome-wise. I plan to snag this little guy and hide him somewhere weird every time I go to my dad's house. He has taken to hiding his ceramic garden gnome in various places in his garden, so I imagine the Woolly Gnome as the winter version of the garden gnome.

This was made from the Woolly Gnome & Mushroom pattern by Marie Mayhew using Cascade 220 yarns. I modified the embellishments to suit my fancy.

Cast of Characters: Paul

My husband and co-conspirator on the much linked to Mega Man hat. He is the house expert when it comes to all things with electrical cords/chargers and/or anything that requires configuring. When I first met Paul he was a smoker and a vegetarian. Now he is a non-smoker who enjoys making smoked meat in his BBQ. Paul recently dove headfirst into brewing beer and is quickly acquiring mad brewing skills. If you are really lucky, he will invite you to one of his Meat Meet Supper Club dinners or Beer Release parties.

Cast of Characters: Fanny

Fanny joined our family in 2008 and has been keeping our laps warm ever since then. When we met Fanny at a shelter in Boston, we thought she was a small, adult cat. We were wrong. She must have been less than a year old, because when we brought her home and fed her, she kept getting bigger and bigger and fluffier and fluffier. In addition to her stellar cuddling skills, Fanny’s claim to fame is that she is a polydactyl cat with a fused or “super” claw. We think she is super in every way.

In Memoriam: Tchazo

In Memoriam: Jack

I adopted Jack at about the same time Paul bought Tchazo (see previous note about egging each other on), but since Tchazo was young and needed to stay with his mom for a few more weeks, Jack came into our house first. For a while, he HATED Tchazo but they eventually became 24-7 buddies. After nearly 11 years together, we had to put Jack down in March of 2013. Jack was a little crazy in the head, but we learned how to live with it. His favorite things included licking the floor, lying under the couch and gazing at me longingly. Jack was physically incapable of wagging his tail whilst being petted. I like to think it is because he was soaking up the love so intensely that it required his full concentration.
