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.

We had a beautiful snowfall last night, so got an outdoor shot with my new camera!
