Knitted Gnomes


Every autumn at my daughters school "Ocean Charter" Lady Autumn comes for a visit and she gives each of the children in the kinder program a little gift of a little knitted gnome. This year we are adding an additional 24 children to our program so I decided to get a head start to making these special little gnomes for our 84 kinder students. So far I have 20 made as you can see in the picture. They are fun and easy to make with bits of left-over yarn and large size acorns. Which are hard to find in coastal Southern California, you have to go more inland for the big ones.

The original pattern for these lovely little gnomes comes from the blog... www.environmentalhomeschooling.blogspot.com/2008/04/gnome-oakies.html Check it out they are great fun to make.

These are great! I want to pick two up and make them do a little dance.
