Finally, the hats are finished!!! Not only finished, but given to their recipients! They seemed quite happy to see them, especially since we finally had some decent snowy weather that tends to require thick, warm winter hats.
As you can imagine, I was so excited to be finished with them that I immediately cast on for Elijah the elephant. I started him (or her) on Saturday and before I knew it the head was finished...
Then, next thing I knew the body had somehow materialized by Sunday morning.
I did my normal Sunday routine of laundry, house cleaning and grocery shopping. Sam and I even managed to catch a movie which we rarely do. Even with all that, by Sunday afternoon Elijah could walk.
Currently, one arm is finished and the second arm is close to finished, but I didn't get good pictures of it before I went to bed. Before I know it, there will be ears and it'll be finished!!! I don't know what's making this project go so fast. I'm thinking it's because it's not another winter hat!
I really love seeing the step by step photos. Also, I've seen a lot of Elijahs, but yours looks so perfect! Can't wait to see it finished!
ReplyDeleteI made Sophie last year, and she knitted up fast too. They're so cute, it's hard not to. Can't wait to see him done!
ReplyDeleteThat elephant is going to be so cute when it is finished! I am impressed you got so much knit in one day!
ReplyDeleteWow! That's great progress, it's coming together very quickly.
