I finished these adorable little gnomes. While I wish I had saved wine corks all year long, so that the corks themselves had a bit more interest, I didn't. I bought a package of 100 at a wine making shop, and now have plenty. This used up just scraps of Noro Kuyeron or any worsted/Aran weight yarn. It could easily be adapted to other weights too. Here is the link for the pattern: http://www.madebymanne.com/korknisse.html
We had a beautiful snowfall last night, so got an outdoor shot with my new camera!

Now I have a blog!


I've finally done it, and am creating a blog. I've thought about doing this for a while and just haven't gotten around to it, or thought it was difficult and would take lots of time. But so far ( LOL two sentances into it) it was easy to create. I've called it the Creative Cafe, as i'm always creating something in my spare time. I work full time, and am a part time student, but my knitting is always with me, and there are various craft projects around the house.

I am a beginning spinner too, so I will see how that goes! So have a cup of tea, and watch for more postings!
