My sister came up from L.A. to visit me last weekend and since I refrained from schoolwork for the 3 and a half days she was here, I decided to knit while we chatted and watched
movies (the things we love to do most). I decided I wanted to make her a stuffed animal because i was inspired by Sharon and Sara K.'s Iris monsters. Anyway, we found an adorable pattern on Ravelry called "Nellie the Elephant", and I had her look through my stash and pick some yarn. She picked out chartreuse/citron and teal worsted weight yarn and I cast on immediately. Of course I did not finish, and who knows when I will, but it felt good to knit after such a long time!! I have the body and one leg completed, I just need 3 more legs and ears, and eyes. I cant believe that only a couple months ago I was wary of dpns. They're awesome!!
An excuse to
post a picture of my little cuddle bunny: A couple months ago I was almost done with a hot pink and lime green cat bed for my adorable cat Tin Tin, but still have not finished it!! I gave in and bought him a pink polka dot (dog) bed, but this summer I am going to finish the other one. He REALLY wants a fuzzy felted neon kitty bed, I just know it!

Watching Amerique finally conquer her fear of dpns while knitting for her sister is such a heartwarming sight. I love how she found the 'Nellie the Elephant' pattern on Ravelry and grabbed that chartreuse yarn instantly-it really captures the cozy vibe of a good otp code moment.
ReplyDeleteStuffed toys show how separate pieces can come together to form something creative, and the same hands on idea applies to building models with an Erector Set, where builders can work with steel components, bolts, cables, and structural parts to create bridge designs while learning about load distribution, tension, compression, and stability
