Amigurumi Elephant Reviewed by sara holiday on 2008-04-09
This little guy was quite cute. I had a request for a purple elephant, so I made it purple. My problem was the trunk- I didnt shape it right and was running late for the birthday party (always last minute!!)- so I stitched it up to the top of the trunk so that the elephant looked like he was spraying his trunk (?). It worked. I wished i had more time to work with it- and wish I had taken a picture! The birthday girl (she's 5) loved it and thats what matters!!
