Yarn Along - small people for small people



Just loving how these little Gnomes knit up so easily from the smallest amounts of stash.


I'm planning on making a set for a little boy who is soon to become a big brother.


And for the baby, a Knubbelchen from left over sock yarn.
I like that these have no facial expression.  I always find that it's the hardest part of making a toy.


I was very excited to receive my copy of Deliciously Ella in the mail yesterday and got straight into making her chocolate spread - hazelnuts, maple syrup, cacao and water!
I've also tried Ella's Sweet Potato Brownies, and despite my dates being, well a little out of date and dry, and my mixer not being a powerful as it once was, they turned out beautifully!

Delicious even with the un-blended bits of dates
gluten-free/vegan

School hols here, the weather is great and Rich has some time off for cross-country skiing with us for a change!



Linking up with Ginny

    I love the little gnomes, I'm going to have to knit one. Thanks for visiting my blog. The perfect newborn socks have stayed on since my grandson was born. They are great.

    Cute gnome! And Knubbelchen?! I didn't know that's what those are called! My twins had terry cloth ones and we called them "chewy babies." Enjoy all that lovely sun and blue sky!

    I love the little gnomes - I can just imagine a whole rainbow of them! I made the same knubbelchen a while ago - he got up to some terrible naughtiness - have a little peek if you want over here http://plainjane66.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/the-night-of-naughty-knubblechen.html! And well done on the brownies - I haven't heard of that magazine but it sounds fab. Take care x Jane

    That gnome is just delightful! You have given me a idea, thank you! The knubblechen is a great present for a baby (my auto correct had fun with that word!). The brownies look and sound wonderful, can you put the kettle on.......if you have any left to share!
