    About

    Two years ago I made Pat's brilliant Gnorse and Gnilla for my nephew and his fiancee to cheer them up. They had planned a wedding in Sweden, which had to be cancelled because of Covid. Since then they have married and their baby, Torsten, was born earlier this month. I saw that Christine had extended the legs on Pat's Gnomies pattern, so I did the same as well as shortening the body to complete their tomte family. The clothes were adapted from the Gnorse pattern.

      Torsten is brilliant Sue. Pats gnomes and dolls are proving ever versatile. Your little Torsten is perfect. Look at him in his lovely blue outfit sat between his ‘Mummy’ and ‘Daddy’. 🥰
