Gnarley

This guy is pretty rustic looking. I bet he likes to camp and makes a really good bonfire breakfast. Meet Gnarley, my April gnome for the Year of Gnomes by Imagined Landscapes over on Ravelry. 


This was the first pattern I made out of the Gnomes of Grimblewood book I got at the gnome workshop in February, and it was pretty fun. It did take me until the very last day of the month to get everything stuffed and assembled. Somehow I thought this would be a quick one, but I think I am just slow on double pointed needles with tiny yarn. This may also mean I am not going to do a gnome a month - I need a break to work on other things (like so. many. concerts. coming up). 

I used leftovers for this guy. The body is "Jamie Fraser" from Honey Girl Farms and the beard and nose is "Adawehi" from the same. The cabling on the body may be a bit lost in the variegation, but I am pretty pleased with how he turned out. He looks very outdoorsy. Like I want to give him a log to chop. And who knows? Maybe he is channeling a bit of the Jamie Fraser vibes. He'll have a Scottish accent, for sure.
