A while back I was knitting an elephant for Beau... wait, I should backtrack... I had a ton of yarn left over from my knit alphabet I did for Type 3. I had a ton of yarn in small amounts of colors. Not really enough to make anything in particular, but still a lot of yarn. And I had about half of a small grey skein, and randomly decided to knit Beau an elephant toy, stuffed animal type thing. Anyway, it turned out very cute, but that's not the point of the story.
As I was knitting this elephant at some point I was texting Joe and told him I was knitting an elephant and he, I suppose, had this idea that I was knitting a LIFE SIZED elephant. He was very excited until I told him, alas, it was only a hand-size toy elephant.
But.
I still have all this yarn I don't know what to do with.
And half-finished projects that I've lost the patterns for, or can't remember whatever personal pattern it was that I was doing, so I bind them off because I need the needles. And I'm left with a half-project.
Well. Nothing is wasted, right? So I think I'm going to make an elephant guys. And I'm fairly certain it will take me ages to finish. So the plan is to finish off all the scraps I have now, and then start buying the discount yarn. It's going to be a patchwork elephant. And it's going to be as big as I can possibly make it. And it's going to be knit. And it's going to take me forever. I'm tingly with excitement.
