  19. My husband just passed away and I would like to start scrapbooking, to keep his memory alive. It’s the one craft I haven’t done yet, and I feel this is the perfect time to start.

  20. Hello. If I won the gift card, I would supply myself with journaling and scrapbooking because I’m 68 years old and need medication, prompts, and encouragement to get started on telling “my story”. I have boxes and boxes of photos and memories I would like to share with my kids in a creative way. I want to tell MY story as to WHO I am and what iv done and where iv been so that like so many others before me, my story doesn’t get lost. I have my mother’s journals also I’d like to share.

  22. I will definitely buy sewing supplies…every time I decide I want to make something new, there is always something else I need to complete it and have to put the project off until I have everything needed

  24. I would buy fabric, patterns and accessories to make things with and for my grandchildren. The six-year-old is learning to sew by hand right now.

  26. My husband and I would definitely get blacksmithing tools. Metal work and glass blowing are our new hobbies

  27. I would buy counted cross stitch fabric and yarn to make things for little granddaughter to get her inspired to follow in mine and her mommy’s creative shoes.

  28. I purchase hard to find yarns and make items to help me survive as a retired “have to still work” senior. I live Craftgossip.com. Bern a subscriber for at least 10 years maybe more. Keep up the great work. P.S. I love that you’re adding pictures again to the newsletter. ?

  29. I would buy some resin moulds and colours. My sister is giving me some resin products, but I would love to make items as gifts.

  31. Wow what a amazing price to win. I think i would bye fabric and felt. To make stuffed animals and Christmas projects.

Gonk Gnome Knitting Patterns

Sometimes I find interesting things in the terms that people are searching on the website. Most of the time them make sense, but other times I’m scratching my head. When “gonk gnomes” turned up, I had to search it to learn that gonks aren’t really gnomes. They’re from Nordic and Scandinavian mythology and are kind of a mix of a gnome and a hobgoblin.

So I don’t know if these gnome knitting patterns really all qualify as gonk gnomes, but I assume it’s the personality that you give them that will decide that.

First of course I have to share this knitting gnome from Sharon Mooney, which you can find on Ravelry. It uses DK weight yarn and while it’s a small project (5.5 inches or 14 cm tall without the hat) there are a lot of techniques packed in, including cables (on the scarf the gnome is knitting), increasing and decreasing, stranded colorwork, knitting flat and in the round, making bobbles (its nose) and I-cord (the legs).

Hélène Magnússon’s Kertasnikiris more specifically a Yule Lad in the Icelandic tradition, who traditionally comes to your house on Dec. 24 and tries to steal your candles (his name means “Candle beggar”). I love all the details on this one, too. His little colorwork boots are the best! A variety of yarns are used for all the different parts, and this one measures 16 inches/40 cm tall. You can find it on Ravelry.

Lots of gonk gnome knitting patterns are seasonal, whether Christmas or some other holiday. You’ll find autumn gonk gnomes from Tanya Oakley Designs on Etsy, and she also has more spring and summer versions decorated with flowers.

January Knits’ rainbow gnomes aren’t necessarily seasonal, but in their pastel colors as shown they’d be lovely for spring, or you could make a set in jewel tones for fall.

I also feel like if you knit gnomes you have to give them a story. Like what are the gnomies by Huggable Bears doing? They look like a bunch a friends headed to the park or something.

If you don’t want to come up with the story on your own, try knitting up Someone to Write Gnome About from Imagined Land Knits. This one’s name is Gnock, and her favorite thing is reading in her hammock.

Or how about Gnana by Sarah Schira? This gnome reminds me of Baba Yaga and looks like she’s cooking up something interesting. The pattern uses fingering weight yarn and includes colorwork on the body and a removable cloak (it’s not safe in the kitchen with a cloak on!). The pattern includes a recipe, coloring page, decorative envelope and storybook file so you can learn all about your new gnome. This one is available from Ravelry.
