A little while ago (I can’t believe it! It’s been TWO YEARS!) I showed this kit. And now I finally made it. This little guy’s name is Wobbes Wiebelteen (“Wobbes Wobblytoe”), he is a genuine autumn gnome and he is a pattern made by Tintangel. He is available as a kit through Etsy and in shops in Holland.
He was a joy to make; the toes were a bit fiddly but after that the rest is easy peasy. Lovely materials to work with (all natural 100% wool) and I love the fall colours of the leaves, and the way the needlefelted wool looks like moss.
He reminds me of Hagrid a little… weird?

So cute! What a great project!
I think he might like to have a girlfriend and give her a wee-sized pond scum bracelet. ; ) He's darling!
Cute! Thanks for sharing. Linda
He's rather a sweetie, despite looking so fierce. Enjoyed reading about him immensely!
