Gnumpkin is a very pumpkin-y gnome. Gnettle takes that pumpkin-y base and adds a witchy look. Gnumpkin and Gnettle are like fraternal twins - similar, but different. They are fundamentally the same pattern, but a few changes create a big personality difference. Perhaps Gnettle is Gnumpkin dressed up for Halloween? Or Gnumpkin is the unassuming secret identity for Gnettle when she’s not saving the world? Or perhaps they’re just really close cousins. Either way, they’re similar enough to be the same pattern but different enough to deserve their own place on your shelf if you want to knit both.
How does it work?
You’ll get 6 updates during October. These will tell you what to work on next. Sometimes the update will have the same file for Gnumpkin and Gnettle, and some times they'll each have a separate file.
There will be video tutorials for all the parts I think you might want help with. I want this to be all joy, no worries.
Because Gnumpkin and Gnettle are a mystery gnomes, I can't tell you much about them. The 'skills used' listed below will give you a bit of a sense of what you'll be doing, but don't get intimidated. It's all just knitting, and you'll be great at it. Plus wonkiness is gnominess.

Beth called me around 10:30 this morning asking if I was still at home. She needed me to get a few things ready because they were heading to the cottage. I asked when and she said ‘in an hour’. Very last minute. The weather looks good for the next few days. After they left I did some errands. They made it safely and have been fishing all afternoon.
I went to Terra this afternoon to purchase new planters for the store. The big ones at the entrance would look amazing at the store.
The display planters are beautiful.
After visiting Terra I’ve been sitting at the kitchen counter working on the website and placing orders. The Kathmandu Fingering should be shipped from the US today and we should see it by the end of the week. Here are a few more of the new colours.
Then an email came through from Spincycle and they are getting yarn ready to ship.
A very Lynn colour of Dyed in the Wool called Open Water.
Plump - Levitate
Plump - Eleventh Hour
The planter I bought for our house was so tall it had to put on the floor of the passenger seat in my Expedition. Mike ran from the construction company to take it out for me because it was so heavy. Terra had the big planters on sale which was a bonus.
Now dinner and some knitting. I can watch whatever I want tonight 😘
