Is it weird that seeing them makes me want to knit a gaggle of lawn gnomes? OK...Don't answer that. I know its weird :) But it begs the answering of the larger, more important question...
What would you call a large grouping of gnomes?
I mean, there are schools of fish, a murder of crows, and a (fill in the blank) of lawn gnomes. Anybody venture a guess? I almost just want to end the post there...Not really a graceful way to segue from gnomes to the knitting, but here goes:
On to the actual knitting content!
After what seems like endless lace knitting, I am still about half way done with the long piece of edging that goes around the main body opening of this. It's like the song that never ends. I know I keep happily knitting repeats, and I should be making mad progress... but it always seems to measure 32". Its freaky twilight zone knitting at its best because although it never seems to grow, I still like knitting it. I'd say thats a first. Most of the time I would be cursing like only the daughter of a truck driver can.
Something clicked in my brain, and now lacy goodness makes all the sense in the world. Don't believe me? Just look at my newly lace stacked queue on Ravelry. If I actually get started on these projects I could literally be knitting lace for the rest of my natural born life.
Well, I'm off to get my geek on: I'll keep on keeping on with the lacy border and some Netflix episodes of Firefly on DVD.
And I'm guessing that when I measure the lace when I'm done tonight what do you wanna bet that its gonna be 32" :)

I'd call them a "mob of gnomes" Personally, I think them a bit creepy and possibly dangerous in a large group. Those mushrooms are beautiful. It makes me want to soak them in ammonia and see if they come up with a nice wool dye!
