(Knitting) update

Goodness gracious, great ball of --???

I was supposed to bring this as part of a baby shower gift...happening the day after I took this picture. From the advanced state in which it is clearly in, needless to say, it didn't get finished in time.

I ended up working on it only occasionally, and then finished it in time for a trip out West in late June, where my friend lives. Of course, being me, I did the final touches at about midnight the night before seeing her!

Almost done!
Hey li'l guy, why so shy and scared?


Come here, li'l guy!
Awww, no wonder he's so shy and scared. He can't hear or see!


Ahhhh, that's better
Ahhhh, that's better.


This is Jacob's Elefante. I love him so much, I want to make 17 more. But I'll probably stick to 2 or 3 for now.

Hee. Thanks. ...Wait till you see the one I'm working on right now. I think it's going to end up being about 50% smaller. If you're nice, maybe I'll make you one, too :)
