An obligatory tree-hugging photograph whilst wearing an outrageously festive gnome-suit can only mean one thing . . .
Yes! The Snawpaws pattern is now OUT!
If you have a desire to sport hand-wear to match your heid . . .
. . . and fancy adorning your wrists with cute wee pompoms (these ones are a mere 1.5″ in diameter). . .
. . .then this is clearly the design for you!
The pattern includes instructions for both mittens and mitts. . .
. . . and if you have already purchased the Snawheid pattern, then the Snawpaws pattern can be yours for half price (£1.37 as opposed to £2.75).
To take advantage of this promotion, simply enter the code PAWS when prompted to do so at the Ravelry checkout.
We had a lot of fun when we were out taking these photographs — sometimes dressing up is all that is required to induce some festive cheer. I have to say, though, that we were certainly getting a lot of curious glances from onlookers — though I reckon that might have been due as much to the get-up of the photographer as my 100% wool tri-coloured gnome suit. . . .
What do you think?
Snawpaws can now be YOUR PAWS!
Happy knitting xx

As usual, completely adorable. I’m hoping you’ll do some Snaw Foots to complete the set ! ;)

I knew there was a damn good reason I’d stand with the Scots any day. Oh that Tom in a kilt. :) So glad to see you all up and about (and I do hope Bruce got to fetch a stick or two). I love (from a designer perspective) how you indulged your fancy for pom-poms; look how well it turned out.
And yes, your skirt is pretty darn fine as well.

Happy 2013 and Greetings, Kate,
I’m sorry to report that my book has still not arrived as of this email. I’m pretty discouraged because, as I mentioned after Christmas, my email was compromised and I lost the tracking information you sent when the book was shipped. As I have not heard from you recently, I just check daily for the delivery, but am afraid it may not happen. Are you able to track the book or resend another? Hoping all in your home are recovered from illness and unexpected surgery.
Regards,

Ordered the pattern, of course. I had to laugh at the fact that Tom’s outfit is shorter than yours. Just as a matter of interest, I am getting 2 copies of all your posts-is there a glitch in your system? I just delete one, but I’m sure you don’t really mean to send 2.
Cheers and red wine, Hazel.
