  24. These guys are cute! I'm gonna make lots of them with the brown sheep yarn i got from the carders. Maybe 2 big ones and one small gnome per set - it's actually a great gift idea!
    It's like you can make stuffed toys from your wools and yarn. This little guys would look great on my Christmas tree next year too - using green and red yarns of course.
