:D I agree with you on the pom-pom choice, @neumannsalva ! I actually found a lovely take on a pom pom by a designer I like and I'm yet to buy a pattern from because I can't decide which one (and haven't got that much money anyway :D)...
The design appeared in Knitty recently :

From this designer I also like the fun 'gnomes' :D
