He's done, and he is ADORABLE! I can't believe I stopped for a while, because the arms, ears, etc. FLEW once I sat down to knit. I love it! I'm not sure I'll be able to give him to my baby boy for his first birthday (which may not be an issue, since when I showed him the elephant earlier, he threw it LOL) Anyhow, I added a 3 stitch i-cord tail, which you can't see, but is super cute. I may have needed a bit more stuffing, but I'm just so pleased with how darn cute this thing is! :) It was my first project using short rows, and I messed up picking up the wraps (I think...) and my first time grafting, but it looks good for my first try. I had to knit the ears separately and then stitch them on, as the stitches were far too tight to pick up from the head. Now the other two kids are begging me to make them elephants, only BIGGER! In red, and pink. Not sure I really want to tackle this pattern again yet... but will eventually.
he is ADORABLE!
