Day 365/18 Elephant Completed

Completed with days to spare - I hope. The elephant is for a baby. Once the baby is born I'll embroider eyes of the appropriate colour and hand it over for years of love and cherishing.

Each time I knit this complicated pattern I wonder why I put myself through the trauma, but I do like the end result. 

The pattern is crystal clear and easy to follow.  User inattention means that I lose my place and have to unpick and knit again.
