Please post a link to a crochet pattern. That might help me decide if I can do this or not! Thanks!

Thanks! I am going to check the patterns and, like LittleMy, I am going to try making one first before I join just to make sure I can. I love the concept! And I have a thing for gnomes (well, as long as they don't have yellow hats!).

The little gnome above was from a free pattern I got online some time ago. (years) It is no longer online so I just came up with that one from looking at the original gnome I made. I could write it up for you if you would like to try it out. Also, I have a gnome pattern that is common in the Waldorf Education circle if you would like to knit that up. They are quick and pretty easy. (I am a super new knitter and did one up) Pic of it is in my flickr if you want to see how that one turns out (clichegrl)

I think you should extend this swap to needle felters. Needle felted gnomes are the cutest!!

Robyn, I know I love needle felting. Didn't think of that when making this swap. Maybe, next time around.
