We're changing our set up so as of Friday 7 August 2009 you now have four ways to order. If your cheque's already in the post, don't worry: you'll get your gnomes!Alan
Dart's Yuletide Gnomes remain one of his most popular patterns. (If you
haven't met them, you can find out more about the little guys on
Alan's website.)
The gnomes were first published back in 2005, in a supplement which was
free with issue 8 called 'Christmas Gifts Extra'. To make it easier to
get your hands on this 'vintage'
Simply Knitting
pattern, our subscriptions team has taken on the task and you can now
order 'Christmas Gifts Extra' from them for £3.99 (UK) or £5.99 (rest
of world).
There are four ways to order:
- Phone Call 0844 848 1602 (UK) or +44 1858 438795 (rest of world) and pay over the phone.
- Fax Send your order to 01858 468969 (UK) or +44 1858 468969 (rest of world).

Park, Market Harborough, Leicestershire, LE16 9EF. (If you're

- Online Order online at www.myfavouritemagazines.co.uk.
Unfortunately, we are unable to accept payments for the supplement from
outside the UK on the website at the moment. Our team is working on
resolving this problem as quickly as possible.
Please note: this is a different pattern from the 'Gnomes at Home' booklet, which accompanies issue 58.
About the beards
In the years since we originally published this pattern, Sirdar have discontinued a number of yarns, including Foxy, the yarn used to knit the beard.
While some stores may still have a few balls left, there are plenty of other yarns which we've heard work well (we haven't tried them though, and some we haven't heard of before!), and of course you can substitute any yarn which you think looks the part. If you find one you like, please let us know in the comments.

If you have a query about your order, please contact the subscriptions team using the information above. If you have a query about Simply Knitting please email us so we can deal with your question directly.
