How this works:
Each participant will make one (or more) small elf or gnomes to be dropped off or delivered by mail by December 13th. We will package them for secret swapping on December 16th.
Each participant will choose one mystery package for each elf or gnome contributed. We discourage swapsies--all elves are good elves :)
For participants unable to attend the December 16th event, we will hold your elf or gnome for pick up, or will mail to you if you don't anticipate being in Ellensburg soon.
We have created a Ravelry bundle with a variety of knit and crochet elf and gnome patterns here (also can be found in our November blog posts at yarnfolk.com), but you may use any pattern you like (or improvise). Use whatever colors you like--no need to stick to a traditional palette. Patterns written for one weight of yarn can be made in a different weight, just remember to use a needle or hook that is smaller than you would normally use. Use leftover yarns from your stash, or if you need additional colors, we have lots of fingering weight mini skeins (hold double if needed).
