only 3 days left until christmas … i spend my evenings in crafting, knitting, writing, … & crocheting: right now i finished this little guy … just in case you should not recognize it: it’s a turtle

thank you for the inspiration to ana paula.

moons ago i started to knit an elmar-tank top for my daughter. these days, looking through my unfinished projects, i found that the top would be much to small for her now. so i decided to transform it into something else … wanna have a look?

elmar elefant patchwork top - unfinished

... in-between ...

do you recognize him?

i found the idea for this cute little guy through ravelry and susan b. anderson’s blog.

guess i’m gonna give it as a birthday present to a friend of mine who will become 3 years old next week

the days are becoming shorter, it’s getting colder – time to start knitting again
