On Friday, in attempt to find something vaguely interesting to do, I dug out my knitting needles and began my first attempt at knitting one of these.

Also on the knitting front, I've discovered these!

The pattern for these gnomes originally came with an issue of Simply Knitting, I think in 2005, and I'm seriously having to restrain myself from spending a ridiculous amount of money on ebay to get hold of the pattern! But they are very cute!
I have done a little stitching over the last couple of weeks, but nothing I'm ready to share yet. I'm working to get Donna's RR finished and I've also made a (very) small start to my Paradigm Lost for the Snowbird SAL. But then the lethargy set in!
Maybe I'll have some photos of my own to post next time!
Oh, and there are still PIFs available if anyone's interested. See this post.

These little guys are so cute! I think we all need to take little stitching breaks from time to time.
Tht gnome is too cute!! I wish I knew how to knit :)
Oh boy, if I could knit, our house would be full of those cuties!!

Good luck with the RR
Good luck with the knitting! I hope you get more done than me - I haven't achieved a stitch today! Thanks for the comment on my blog. Lucy x
So cute, i love them
Hope your energy levels improve and you are soon 'blooming' again
Those little monkeys are adorable. Hey, we all need stitching breaks. Keep in touch with the Snowbird SAL and we will do our best to keep you motivated.
Hi Lesley,
Thanks for the link :)
So? How's it going?? That mouth bit is a tad tricky.
I've seen that gnome before and think he's fab. I haven't tried one yet though.
Have a happy weekend.
Cute gnome! If I ever make it past the "scarf" stage in knitting, I'd like to give something like that a try.
So... do you still have room in your PIF? I'd love to do this :)
Enjoy your knitting while that bug lasts. The little monkey and gnome are both so cute. You'll get back to Paradigm Lost soon enough.
Cute monkeys! They would make great gifts!
