    Gnome accessories

    This listing is for accessories for Sarah Schira’s Mystery Gnome for 2025, Gnandad. Use your own yarn or buy some of mine here. Buy the pattern separately here.

    Last year, Sarah designed her mystery gnome, Gnana, with glasses. This year, Gnana’s partner, Gnandad, has skis and is setting off on a special adventure!

    Using Sarah’s size specifications, I have designed custom laser-printed bamboo skis for my Gnandad. They are patterned after vintage Rossignol cross-country skis and words do not express how delightful they are!

    Wooden skis

    • 6 inches long by 1/2 inch wide
    • Laser-cut bamboo wood
    • Etched design to look like vintage Rossignol skis
    • Hand-finished by me, with electric sanding and smoothing to remove burn marks from the laser printing and reduce the risk of splinters

    Glasses

    • Gold wire rim doll glasses
    • Sized for an 18” doll
    • Perfect for adding an extra dash of holiday flair to your gnome

    Shipping timeframe: I am waiting for my manufactured skis to arrive and anticipate shipping in about 5-8 business days. The gnome-a-long starts December 1, so you’ll have your skis in plenty of time!
