Five Baht Elephant

my crafty home

September 3, 2012

Fall. Almost.

September 3, 2012

Its football season. College football started this weekend.  We just finished up our Fantasy Draft – I picked a good team this year I think! 

And I’m knitting again.

Fall is coming.

So, this ball o’ yarn used to be this:

more lace knitting....

Which, really, I jacked up so badly that I ripped it out. Lace shawls are really not for me. Not only do I suck at knitting them, I don’t ever wear shawls!  I don’t even know how to tie one on. So, I’m really not sure why i keep trying to knit them.

So, I started on the Cabled Feather Cowl (link takes you to my project page on Ravelry).  This is so much easier than a lace shawl. The pattern has just enough cables and lace to make it interesting, but not too much that I’m guaranteed to make a mistake. 

I managed to get 5 rows finished while waiting for my turn to draft.  While drinking a glass of wine.  I didn’t make a mistake! That should clue you in as to how not difficult (and low stress) this knitting project will be!

::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!
