Loveable Toy Elephant, First Sock, Cirque Scarf

I finished a few little things in the past month. I knit this elephant for my son's first birthday from Last Minute Knitted Gifts using Caron Simply Soft and a bit of Bernat Satin Sport for the kerchief. He's so cute! I love him. The pattern was a bit iffy in spots, but just required a little intuition. I think it took me a lot longer than the book said it would, since I worked on it 20 minutes at a time!



Here's my first wearable sock! It's really comfy. I used Fleece Artist merino and the pattern on the ball band. It has a few errors in it, and the toe turned out all wonky, so I reknit it using the toe from the Knitter's Handy Book of Patterns. I already have requests from my husband and mom to make them pairs of their own.







Finally, here's probably the last ever knitted novelty yarn scarf on the planet. :) It's really fluffy and sparkly. It took 3 balls of Muench Lucky I got uber cheap. It's my Cirque du Solei scarf, made specifically for the upcoming show I'm going to. I think it will be my 9th, if I'm not forgetting any. My husband and I are obsessed!
