Yarn Along


Joining in again with Ginny ~
I am knitting for business today - a custom order for six of these little guys, knit with hand dyed rainbow yarn.  The pattern can be found here

In regards to reading, we have been enjoying our Christmas book basket, that is just about all the time I have during these busy days with our business - squeezing in a book to read out loud to the children here and there throughout the day.

Warm wishes,
Tonya

(Don't forget about the giveaway, below.)

    A Christmas book basket sounds like a great idea, I'm going to try that. Thanks!

  8. I always bawl reading Silver Packages, such a great book! I have loved your gnomes (and pattern) since I found you many many moons ago. My dd and I have knit several over the years, and they are always a welcome gift for anyone!!

  9. Last Spring I ordered this pattern kit from you, as well as a beautiful little cross. I've made quite a few of these adorable little gnomes this year for Christmas, they are fun to make and a delight to give. Thank you for your lovely blog, it is a joy to read.
    God bless,
    Kim

  10. Oh, that gnome is just precious! I am a bit intimidated by knitting such tiny things... is it tricky?

  14. Your shop looks lovely! You have been so busy it seems. Somehow creative work does not seem to take away so much energy though, does it? I love this little knit doll.

  16. Such a cute little guy! I like that version of 'rainbow' yarn. Can not stand the traditional rainbow at all anymore...

  17. Hi, I really like your blog, your style of living and raising a family and reading about all your creative endeavors. The gnomes are charming and I was thrilled to find a pattern for free. When I checked the pattern I noted there were no instructions on attaching the arms. I'd love to make some but I hate to get that far in the pattern and then mess it up. Can you help? Thanks in advance! Judy

  18. Christmas, and winter books are some of my favorite. There is something very cozy about a basket of winter/holiday books waiting to be read.

  19. Tonya, When you mention your book basket, can you give us an idea of what books are in it? I can see the Silver Presents and the Amish Christmas - my granddaughter is only 17 months old but I've begun buying and having delivered to her, books of each season and books of major holidays... I will build on her library each year as she gets older... Ellie loves her mommy and daddy to read to her... She loves her books and if any are left around, she picks them up and pops them back into her current book basket...
