well i do so pthbt

my niece has been getting into crochet and of course I'm looking at her work with proud uncle eyes. would you mind directing me toward the pattern so I could send it to her/buy it for her?

[-] sasnak@piefed.blahaj.zone 3 points 3 days ago

I actually made it myself and haven't typed the pattern up, yet. If you want, I can let you know when I have and send it your way?

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

you made it yourself? that is so amazing! If you go to the effort, I would love a pattern to send her way. if not, no worries. no pressure.

Omg, it is a red version of Tree trunks, I love it! So goofy.

[-] sasnak@piefed.blahaj.zone 5 points 5 days ago

That's what my partner said!

[-] Washedupcynic@lemmy.ca 17 points 5 days ago

It's adorable. It's like a pusheen elephant. If you're going to experiment with a second attempt, I'd request grey yarn, and maybe a longer trunk. (I don't know anything about knit/crochet, so not I'm not even sure if a long trunk is possible.) I'd buy this in a store if I saw it.

[-] sasnak@piefed.blahaj.zone 7 points 5 days ago

I didn't have any plush grey yarn, so i just used the one I had the most of since I was designing from scratch and wanted to make sure I had plenty. If I make another, I'll try a longer trunk for sure! I appreciate the feedback and I'm glad you'd buy him bc I'm going to try to sell him at a local flea market c:

Please don't undersell your work and effort. He absolutely has a very unique charm that will pull heart strings and wallets out

Good luck though!

But! It's adorable, and I love it. It's like a little elephant-shrew-elephant! Be proud! that's cute as hell and probably deserves a name

I adore it! Just look at the cute lil guy!! I wanna hug him!

I think it came out great! I get it, though; I'm way too hard on myself and anything I make, too. ๐Ÿซ‚

[-] altphoto@lemmy.today 6 points 5 days ago

But you love your elephant right? That's all that matters. Nobody should tell your elephant who to love.

[-] sasnak@piefed.blahaj.zone 5 points 5 days ago
[-] altphoto@lemmy.today 3 points 5 days ago

See, that's what's important.

I'm calling him an orbephant! I'm trying to design a line of Orbimals

[-] craftrabbit@lemmy.zip 4 points 5 days ago

That's so cool, make sure to keep posting them Orbimals!

[-] sasnak@piefed.blahaj.zone 4 points 5 days ago

I will, for sure! I haven't decided what to make next. Since people like the elephant so much, I'll probably make another and try to write up the pattern c:

[-] SapphironZA@sh.itjust.works 5 points 5 days ago
