Gnorman

Another pattern that is virtually impossible to find in the United States (well, impossible if you want to pay less than $50 for it) is the Alan Dart "Yuletide Gnomes" pattern. After whining about it for quite some time, my very dear friend, Sue from across the pond shipped it over for me. She put a surprise in the package, beard yarn!!! So...after finishing up all of my WIP's (you know the rule), the Gnome was begun. Many names were tossed around for him, but Sonja won with "Gnorman".

The baby afghan is finished

This blanket was a joy to knit. The pattern was easy and the edging not fussy at all. You can find the pattern here in case you missed it when I posted it earlier: Grandma's Afghan

...and the white flag is raised

Look who came back last night

Mr. Bear apparantly has a taste for sugar water. It's hard to see in this picture, but he broke off the pole at ground level. At this point, I think I declare defeat. I will look for options to hang the feeders from the neighbors tree, but it is in pretty sad shape, and the limbs are quite high off the ground. He didn't come in the back yard this time, but there were lights on...maybe that deterred him. I am wondering if a motion detector light will keep him away from the patio. Anywho, I hope they catch him soon, I miss my birds!!
