I made it with some leftover aran weight yarn and it has turned out rather big,in fact bigger than my hand. Still I'll put it out as a RAOCK and leave it for someone to find.

It is popular at present to give out as a birthday gift and do it with a team of friends. Gnomes are slow to make again. I am using wool and the heat makes it difficult to use.

I will check these out online, more than anything it is the watering that I worry about as the sun here is so strong plants shrivel up and dies so easily.

The murder mystery game looks fun, but I'm not sure I'd join in! I prefer watching on TV or reading them. The gnomes are so cute. If you do make one (some) I know they'll be snatched up and treasured.

There are lots of different kinds, but that's what the flower looks like. I love the little gnomes - they are indeed very cute.
