I hope that everyone hasn't forgotten about me! I'm here, and I'm knitting away as always.
Due to a lack of accessible internet, and a lack of finished projects, my blogging has been a bit... well, nonexistent. I hope you'll all forgive my absence.
Now, on to what I have done...
Meet my Elephant:

He comes from Joelle Hoverson's Last Minute Knitted Gifts.
Ever since I started my new job, it seems like everyone around me is PREGNANT. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but the idea of having a kid at this point in my life is more than a little frightening. It's no understatement when I say that thinking about having a living creature swimming around in my stomach makes me feel a little woozy...
Okay, so maybe that's not the most girly or motherly way to look at it, but what can I say, that's just how I feel.
Despite all this, I'm SUPER excited for my boss Kristy to have her first baby girl. And that is how this little elephant found its way onto my needles.



I used Alpaca With A Twist's "Baby Alpaca" along with the recommended needle size. I like this yarn, it's super soft and easy to work with, AND it comes from my home state of Kentucky. All good things if you ask me!

Glad to see you back to posting. You've been missed! Cute elephant for sure. Your boss is going to be super excited.
Hey almost looks like the Elephant Elijah!
I really need to just go ahead and knit one up!!
Cute!
Wow, he is adorable! I've been wanting to do an elephant for a "nephew" of mine who calls them elpants, but I forgot that pattern was in the book. I'm going to have to drag it out this weekend.
P.S. It's good to see you back!
I agree with Michaela! I'm a big fan of your blog- it's nice to see you posting more :)
Your elephant is impressive, I've been wanting to knit more toys.. but all the seamwork daunts me. Fantastic photo of the snout btw!
