Meet Blinky!
I love, love, love getting new knitting patterns or books! So of course when I got a $25 Chapters gift card from redeeming my Air Miles, I had to head straight to the crafting section and get me a copy of Last Minute Knitted Gifts. I seriously want to make almost everything in this book! The first project I dove into was the adorable elephant... 6 hours and a harrowing Halloween trip to the mall (for stuffing) later, I had Blinky! Blinky's now been permanently adopted into our home... so much for the gift idea! Oh man, I don't know if it's the weather or what, but I just have no energy these days!!! Even my cooking is getting lazy. Last night, I actually ended up serving Campbell's Cuisine (aka following the recipe on the side of a soup can). Ended up being pretty tasty though; satisfied that cold weather comfort food craving that I get all too often... Thankfully tonight, we're going out for dinner... $4.95 dinner special at my favorite pub/grill! :-) And hey, no dishes to wash!!! |

post a commentsapphyre,
I have to hand it to you. Your post on "Meet Blinky!" was great. I really enjoyed reading it. I found your blog while searching for snowboarding backpacks and am quite happy that i did.
I will certainly come back again to read future posts. Thanks for a great resource!
Hi there sapphyre, I am out searching for the latest information on handmade purse pattern and found your site. Although Meet Blinky! wasn't exactly what I was looking for, it certainly got my attention and interest. I see now why I found your page when I was looking for handmade purse pattern related information, and I'm glad I stopped by even though it's not what I was looking for this time. I have added your blog to my favs, to come back and read some more sometime, I really enjoyed visiting.
Hi, I am in the process of doing the same elephant you did. I have 12 sts on DPN from stitch holder and 12 sts from provisional cast on on another DPN and don't know where to go from there to begin work on the trunk. Where do I rejoing yarn, which direction do I go etc...once I am through this maze I can follwo on from there to complete trunk. I knit toys for charity, have done numerous bears and bunnies, but my phant is just gathering dust and uncomplete unless someone is willing to assist me here. Please help?
Regards
Faye
