Someone To Write Gnome About
Gnock wants to be a professional hammock tester when she grows up. In summer, she likes to read biographies swinging gently in her hammock. She finds the contrast between their exploits and her state of relaxation heightens the experience.
Gnock’s hat design gets big results from the magic that happens in knitted fabric when increases and decreases are stacked on top of each other.
