Gnomey Hat...DONE!
Look what I finished over Thanksgiving weekend:

Pattern: Gnomey Hat by Hello Yarn
Yarn: Deborah Norville's (I know...right?) Serenity Chunky
Needles:  Size 10 DPNs
Accidental modifications: not knowing the difference between garter stitch and reverse stockinette (I know...right?), the section that is supposed to be garter curls pretty severely.  Having already pulled the whole thing out a couple of times by the time it was pointed out to me by a more experienced knitter, I opted to just let it go.  Deep breaths.  Luckily Clementine hasn't complained (noticed?) yet.

Here it is, prior to end-weaving, on its (I think obviously pleased) recipient.  Pretty happy grandpa too, eh?
