I posted this knitting wip photo last month. These are parts of gnome dolls I knit up over the summer. When it was time to sort them out, I found I didn't have enough matching pieces and for whatever reason I felt I really needed the colors to be the same or at least similar.
I ended up knitting more and more pieces to create dolls that came together in a matching color scheme. Finally I started the slow process of stitching up the dolls.
The pattern comes from The Gnome Craft Book. I love using self striping sock yarn just because they come out so colorful. I also made a few more of these (pattern found here).
Instead of stuffing and stitching up the body, I left it open so they could be used as puppets.
I worry that I may be having more fun with these than I should.
