elephants

Yes, I have a thing for elephants. They fascinate me. I even have an elephant board on Pinterest, with pictures... of elephants. I could look at them all day.

This pattern has been a slooooow burn. It often happens that I fall out of love with a pattern and abandon it to the forest of zip-lock bags.

I mean slow - Instagram tells me this and the next photo are 55 weeks old.....

The five part under gusset may have had something to do with abandoning the project. I realise this will be my fifth elephant pattern and I would like to be able to say that this will be the final elephant installment but there is at least one more brewing way.

I took a version to Spring Market last May (and cannot find it anywhere).

Here is where we are now, one pattern with three different trunks.

Version A 

Version B

Version C

Don't get excited though folks, we're still a long way from finished I just thought you might like to weigh in with your choice for the cover elephant . Does A,B or C speak to you? I may end up doing a collage - yikes, how terribly posh. Yes I have already instagrammed / facebooked about this so don't feel you need to answer me again.

 Although if you feel like saying "Enough with the bloody elephants Jod !" - I would totally understand.

It sometimes happens, that the things that are meant to be first come second,

while the things that are third, came first. 

So the things that are second will have to be third

and the things that are fourth are yet to be sewn.

(and the 2 has nothing to do with it).

It is grey and raining here today and if tea were alcohol I'd be dancing with my knickers on my head by now.
