I made him for my dad for our Green Christmas theme. I tied a scroll to Ernie's hands.

I've attached the document so you can read it too.

His scarf is cabled. Rather than the beard of the gnomes, I left the beard off, added green eyes and some festive bells that I had in my stash.

Ernie has been much coveted by people and by Bandit :) I hope is well-loved in his new home. He was sad to leave us and we were sad to see him go.

UPDATE: July 6, 2007

Dear Ernie made it into the June issue of Simply Knitting! He's on page 23! Of course I travelled a bit around the city to pick up multiple copies!
