::The Name::

Five Baht Elephant. My mother is from Thailand, where elephants are royal animals. Growing up Mom would tell us to save our pennies, "in case a man came to our door selling elephants." At the time we thought it was the most absurd thing ever. Now I realize it was the Thai version of saving for a rainy day. Lets hope that we can buy an elephant for only five baht!

Look what I made!
It’s certainly far (so so far) from perfect but it’s darn cute and good enough for some patio plants and flowers 🔨 (And thanks Seester @carolmayuree for the extra hands) ———

#knitting Chart 2 of The Blanket I’ll Probably Not Finish .... I’ll need to make 6 of these.
Some good lessons learned on the 4 hexagons for Chart 1. My #colorwork is tight when I #knit using a circular needle, and I now have enough dpns for all the stitches when I get to row 20+ ——
