Do you remember this elephant that I made for my friend down the road? Here it is.
Well I'm a bit fussy about things when I make them and I was NOT happy with the poor elephant. The yarn was thick and hard and to make it made my arm ache. The kit came with a size 6 crochet hook which was like wielding a hockey stick!!! So when I was back 'in the zone' for elephant making I got out a size 3.5 hook and some yarn that I had in my stash. This one looks 100% better, I think. When I stuffed it you couldn't see the stuffing through the stitches and I was altogether a lot happier with it.
I didn't tell Sue I was making it so it was a surprise when I gave it to her. I must say I enjoy amigurumi crochet.
Very sweet olifant!
ReplyDeleteCute little character!
ReplyDeleteSplendid hephalump! Presumably it's a lot smaller than the first one?
ReplyDeleteYes, Jane, a LOT smaller and very cute too.
