Gnumpkin and Gnettle - October mystery knitalong

In the lands of Willowdell, where dozens of streams crisscross each other in meandering paths and the gardens burst with good things to eat, the gnomes have a particularly gourd-geous look to them.

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.
