Is 2023 the Year of the Gnome?

After I heard that ANG's going to publish six Marilyn Owen gnome designs in Needle Pointers in 2023, I started to wonder if this is going to be The Year of the Gnome.  Colour Complements is going to do thread kits for these designs, by the way.  You can see the first here.

There are lots of gnome canvases available now.

I know because I started looking when I also heard Needlepoint by Laura has new gnome designs.

Looks like it's going to be a good year for little guys with big noses and beards.
