Om Gnome Gnome!
A Father's Day gift made way back in March (I got prepared early). My Dad fears me getting him gnomes after a joke from my childhood, so of course I use any opportunity to include a gnome with a present. The pattern is largely in one piece (the body is all one ball done with lots of colour changes). This is one of my first self designed patterns and is cross posted to my blog at http://amiguruthi.tumblr.com/post/25296404648/fatgnome
