FO:Elephant for baby shower
Last month I threw a baby shower for my SIL. About a week before the shower I realized I hadn't knit a thing for my niece to give at the shower. Thank goodness for quick knit toys! The pattern is Nellie the Elephant. It took me about 2 nights to knit.
I used Bernat baby stretch yarn colorway skipping rope.
My mods were making the trunk a bit longer and using a pipe cleaner to stuff the trunk to make it poseable.
Here she is checking out a favor box!
