![Confession Time with Katie:
Playing Mario Kart has made me a worse driver. As I drove to lunch with a friend, I wished for a flashing star so I could be invincible and drive through everything.
Also, we're eating bagels for lunch because throwing rules out windows is my new favorite hobby.
Speaking of hobbies, I started a Constellate Hat in the colorway, African Violets by LolaBean Yarn. The first Constellate took me nineteen months so surely i can beat that!
LOL. @marz1pan thought I was knitting a sock for someone with HUGE calves!
In writing news, I plan to send a short story before mid-December so join my Inner Circle Email List if you need a dopamine hit right about now.
I hope you have the Monday you need, Crew! I love you!!!!

When the assembly line was invented, I’m sure it seemed like a grande idea. However, when applied to gnome-making, it got kind of monotonous. The good news was that I’d woven in the ends as I went, or I might have gone off the deep end.
Step 1. Make gnomes.
Step 2. Add beards.
Step 3. Add eyes (cause they look Creepy McCreeperson without them)
Step 4. Decide that the gnomes are just too cute and what you really need is a full set (whatever that means) – you must have more.
I think I might have a problem.
Ps. To see what other folks are working on, check out Tami’s Amis.

Oh. My! That’s a lot f gnomes. What does one do with such an abundance of gnomes?
Long term, I’m trying to decide if I’ll make a grande and somewhat crazy gnome garland or ornaments out of them.
There must be a gnomes annonomoyous group somewhere…They are cute and addicting though, so no fault of your own!
sure. GA. We meet once a month. (maybe I should go more) :)
They do look surprisingly creepy without eyes. Heehee, and their arms still crack me up, they give them so much personality!
Their arms are just i-cords and I did all of them basically the same way. It is interesting how no two look alike. I thought about threading wires through them to make them posable, but that would take a bit of the whimsy out I think.
