Ok so its not the 1st of November ......and I know the poem is about the 5th November, but somehow the title seemed to fit this, the first post in my craft diary.
It was yesterday that I decided to start knitting an elephant, well a purple elephant to be more precise! It is of course not a full sized elephant even though it is based on a pattern for "big jumbo". It is actually turning out to be bigger than i was expecting it to be going by the size of the body which i have just finished a few minutes ago. I have just been able to cover my entire head with the body - don't ask me why i put it over my head - it just seemed like a good measurement!!! While i'm at it don't ask me why its purple either - it just seemed right ;)
To be honest there is probably going to be little in this blog that has a reason for being a certain way - I very much tend to just go with my impulses when crafting and see how it turns out.
So the body is done, next comes the legs. Now will i do them purple as well? I have a strange desire to do them with stripes but not decided on the colours yet. I am away to plunder through my wool stash to see what i come up with :)
Will add some photos later too i think so you can see how i am getting on....
See you later then!
