ode rowan cotton
Elephant is made from it, what there is of Elephant, who still needs back legs. But what he lacks in extremeties he makes up for in style, as he has a resplendent new bright red toque, with pompom.He is out there and loving every minute of it. Never mind its a little bit retro grunge. The color really perks him up. Here he goes, taking his turn on the catwalk. Be careful, Elephant! He needs a name. Hm.
Elephant is based on a
Debbie Bliss pattern from her book Toy Knits. I love this book! The best thing about it is it gives a good jumping-off place for stuffed animal madness~ mix and match parts for variety! The things you can do! Plus you can always adjust parts, just do a little bit of math and have long long legs, or teeny tiny ears. Woo hoo.
Yesterday was a yarn orgy~ I got 3 new skeins (2 Rowan cotton, 1 GGH Bali in red for Elephant's toque)
plus later a trip to the craft store, for a friend's craft mission, netted another skein, this time Lilly Sugar'n Cream cotton for cheap but stylish washcloth mania. 2 measly bucks for 85g/3 oz. of Brise Fraiche. Breeze Frenchie?? How I love all things Frenchie!).
How I love summer and warm hands and feet! But the internal conflict is excruciating. I should go out and frolic while I can, smell the flowers, see the sunshine! Yesterday the weather was crappy and I didn't have this quandry!
Here is where I wish I were~ Paris.
If I were there, I would go here http://www.entreedesfournisseurs.com/
They are very nice and they have every color of felt one's heart could desire.
