In between searching for jobs and new cars, I've been knitting.
Today, this pink stuffed elephant. Isn't he charming?

The pattern is adapted from a 1946 book called "Sewing for the Baby" (but obviously it has some knitting patterns as well!) I made him in a soft, washable cotton yarn from my stash, and stuffed him with polyfil. The original pattern had only one leg in back and one in front instead of two apiece, so I added an extra strip to make him a little more realistically three-dimensional, and separated out the legs.
He's
for sale in my shop, but I wish I could keep him! The book says "This wise little elephant will enchant baby." I don't think it's just babies who will find him enchanting.
