Harry

Look who has arrived in the garden - our first gnome!

Harry was knitted by Hilary - the wonderful creator of Horace the missing tortoise. The lily pond was finger knitted by Oliver (11) at the Brighton show and his mum crocheted it together and embellished it. The water lilies are from a shy lady at Glasgow who did not want to give her name.

I just love the gnome and his accessories. But I really wanted to congratulate you on the yoga wrap which I saw a picture of on someone else's blog, and I remembered having seen it on yours a while ago. It is beautiful.

I am in Australia and trying to source some local yarn but without a great deal of success just yet - another yarn shop to visit tomorrow!

hey, that is too cool! a knitted gnome. gee, wonder if he's the companion to the travelocity gnome? (sorry, an american commercial, lol) did you have a good show?

Please make sure that Harry is aware that talking to strangers is a bad thing and that he most certainly can't go off with them like the tortoise did. I love the apple tree blanket, I may need to give that book a second look. A.x

It is looking so lovely that I can't pick my favourite, at all. I hope you have a rat trap under the gnome that that kind lady knitted. Imagine not being put off by your tortoise being stolen and knitting another gorgeous thing!

The gnome is lovely. I wish there was something like that over here. Hmmm. Getting inspiration. Mind if I steal the idea?
I hope you get your package soon. I sent it over a week ago, so hopefully it arrives soon.
Then I can start putting my real name on here. :)

Was tha the lad that helped us all day, depite a horrid cold and tonsillitis, who taught zillions of people to finger knit???

By the way, are they firmly attached to the stand?

From a gnome lover - cute gnome, lovely pond and beautiful garden. How I wish I could see the whole thing in person.
