I had fondly imagined that the pinks would ‘go’ when I ordered them - alas they don’t, to me anyway, but by the time it dawned it was too late to waste the work so far.
I don’t suppose the children they’re destined for will be bothered though - I hope not, anyway!

I think they are super cute and I love the mix of colours. Beautifully knitted.

They're lovely Witzend smile.

Awww! So cute, I love them and I’m sure the children will do too.
Much admiration from someone who is useless at anything Artsy or Craftsy😊

They’re gorgeous as usual Witzend

I like the two colours together

Witzend Sun 05-Jan-25 13:01:22

Thank you, everybody!
BTW, DollyD, I am utterly useless at art - honestly can’t draw to save my life!

They are gorgeous and I think the two pinks compliment each other.

Fabulous work and well done to you. I’ve just completed a sponsored knit along for cancer research and raised £535 in December.

They are so cute 🥰

Happy to say that they’ve have grown on me just a bit. I was being so rude about them, my sister who was visiting said I’d be sending them off with emotional trauma! 😂

I think the pinks look fine.

They look great, the pinks go beautifully together.

NannyJan53 Mon 06-Jan-25 08:09:46

I think they look fab. Anyone would be thrilled to be given them.

I absolutely love the two pinks together. Children will love these elephants, they are brilliant.

Norah Mon 06-Jan-25 14:28:22

Well done, they're brilliant!

Absolutely amazing. You are so talented.

Witzend yet more brilliant work. You are very talented. Can't wait to see what you do next . Have you ever done an octopus 🐙?

No, but there’s a new pattern for a knitted one on the Knit for Nowt website - before there was only a crochet one (I can’t crochet) - so you never know.

Lately I’ve been busy with the ‘professionals’ hand puppets they’re nearly always short of, but my next big item will a monkey or ape - or a sort of hybrid of the two patterns - at least partly because I’ve got enough of the right sort of colours in my stash!
