Say Hello to Fenmore

I stepped out this morning to check out the weather and who did I see up in a tree? Fenmore, one of our neighboring Kootenai Gnomes. He was watching the snow fall.



He was all dressed up in his holiday finery. He said he was heading to an office Christmas party later today. I talked him into coming down and sitting for a photograph.

Comments: I knit the size medium. As usual, I used worsted weight yarn instead of sport weight. His eyes are embroidered french knots with black worsted acrylic. I wish the silver metallic strands in his beard showed in the picture. He looks very festive.


Yes, it's snowing out. It's not supposed to stop until Monday, or melt away cos we are now in a deep freeze. Glad I have nowhere to go. Sounds like the perfect day to make home made chili and biscuits for dinner.

Have a great day.
