Five Baht Elephant

Knitting in November

November 26, 2016

Photo heavy post! (I’ve had some time to go through my photos!)

I started the Tread Hat around Halloween. I am a big fan of the designer, Shannon Cook, and this pattern is in the book Within. My mom was visiting for awhile and she wanted to buy some yarn for a scarf. We went to Fancy Tiger and I picked out this Cormo Worsted by Sincere Sheep.

Mom had such a good time with us, walking Miles to/from school and then knitting and taking care of Cats during the day.

While I finished the actual knitting a few weeks ago, I was waiting for the arrival of the faux fur pompom. I stitched it down this morning. Love this hat. This is my first time knitting with Cormo and I really like the yarn. It is stiff yet soft. And I still have like half the skein left.

Meanwhile, I also spent time taking photos and weighing some of my leftover yarn. I catalogued them into Ravelry’s stash page. yarnstash

I’ve also made some significant progress on my Dragon Lady shawl. This is knitting up nicely, and the BFL yarn is lovely.

I’m actually using my Caravan Tote as intended – as a knitting project bag!

    I spent some of my Thanksgiving break organizing my stash on ravelry, too! It felt good to get it all cataloged. Your hat is gorgeous! I also can’t wait to see your Drachenfels. You’re knitting so much faster than me. I’m almost finished with the last striping section before the final solid color C section, but the rows are SO long now! We really need to schedule a knitting date!

::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!
