Finished knitting Eli the Elephant & he is all ready for gift giving February 14th. I know my hubby will find him as cute as I do ♥ The only thing I did different to the pattern was change the tail. Instead of knitting it, I did a simple double row SC crochet which turned into a sweet little twirl on its own .
I added a little heart shawl (for those cold Winter nights) too.
I have some teeny little gold bells that I might sew on along the edge.
Trying to "master colour knitting" so picked up this book from the Library.
On the needles now ~ Knitting lots and lots of little Hexagons to turn into a warm wintry throw.

Joining in with Yarn Along today.
Happy Knitting & Happy February 1st.

Such a neat elephant pattern! Love his floppy ears.
Ellie is absolutely the cutest ever!!!! And bells on her wrap-even better!
I've made one (1)!!! hexipuff. I don't think I'm hooked yet! Yours is looking cozy already!
How cute! The little bells would be awesome. I should knit my husband something for Valentine's day. Thanks for inspiring!
That elephant is darling! I love it! All four of my kiddos would adore him. Also, that hexagon throw is great!

Thank you Inger Marie ♥
Oh the elephant is just so sweet! And your hexagons look great... I've been wanting to try a hexagon throw. Perhaps next winter!
What a darling little elephant,Deb. It reminds me of when Corbyn was born. He was born while we lived in the UK and I lived with a girlfriend while Mike was in the Gulf War. Nancy, my girlfriend, also became my labor coach and luckily she was an OB nurse at the base hospital. After Corbyn was born she brought me a stuffed elephant for him- we named her Ellie and it was four days befor Valentine's Day too!
Thank you Cathy. I sort of wish now I had made it a hexigon puff blanket ... next time :-)
Thanks for sharing this sweet story Kelly ... Do you still have Ellie?
