Elephant
The other day when I was knitting and my DH passed by, he looked what I was knitting and said, "what's that? Elephant?"
Please let me show you my elephant:
Yeah, I agree to him. I didn't notice but it does look like a head shot of elephant, doesn't it?
As you might already find out, it is the part of the right front of Gwen.
And this is the full body of that elephant. That nose part was fascinating to knit and I am so happy I could make it. I didn't like so much for the mini-cable part, for it was just unconfortable to cross the stitch with cotton 100% yarn by its lack of elasticity. Though I love that looks. It is neat and beautiful....
BTW, that elephant needs a friend:
So I knitted it. They looks happy. So am I.
But I was kind of excessive.
Did I?? Oh, I have finished that right front part. It was, surprisingly fast! Why? because that part needed almost ONLY ONE BALL of the yarn to finish it.(size XS)
And last some days I happened to stay at home for the Japanese special holiday week, "Golden Week". I was off from last Wednesday to date. I did take care of my boys, husband, home, etc but I sneaked time like that:
I finished body knitting. Now I am knitting the first sleeve, just passed by the annoying mini-cable second part. Today I didn't knit much, but you imagine how happy I am now. Not so much....because it looks too small than imagined. Maybe my gauge swatch lies me...now, I am considering to join the shoulders and side seam first and see if it works. Wish it works. Please.
In the last post I mentioned to knit a tank for my MIL. I have this yarns for it.
Blue Sky Cotton, the color is Fern....nice quiet color. I want to start anytime now, but recently I have learned something. It is my knitting effectiveness rule for getting FO. When I have less than three projects at the same time, I can anyhow manage them and finish them before long. I try to keep it, so I have to finish Gwen soon!

I'm loving the elephants! You are very fast...I can't believe you are almost done with the whole thing already. It certainly looks beautiful. I hope it fits too when you pin it and try it out. Even if it is too small now, it should stretch in blocking, no?
