It's not really my fault. I saw a dauchshund in a manger in a cartoon and I couldn't unsee it. One thing led to another . . .

Now I'm working on a white elephant. It's a pretty cool pattern- the whole elephant is made in one piece (talking about knitting of course) then folded up to make the elephant shape. I had white yarn- three small balls of the same brand white yarn. Unfortunatly I can clearly see where I began each ball of yarn- strange. Also unfortunate is the fact that this elephant has some crazy long legs. It's like a daddy-long-legs-phant. I figured I'd make her some leg warmers and a beret and tell people she's a dancer.
