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?
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?
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.
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
Thank you <3 I call it an orbephant
That's no elephant!
That...
... is a snoodler.
... and I love him.
I'm sure he loves you, too
=D
But you love your elephant right? That's all that matters. Nobody should tell your elephant who to love.
I love it today c:
See, that's what's important.
As a Norwegian I think you nailed it 🤟🏻
Thank you xD
Better, it came out better!
I'm happier with it today c:
I do.
Thank you <3
Mom had an affaire with a tapir.
Cus momaphant needed some help from MrTapir and his massive prehensile fifth leg
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.
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!
Thank you! <3
It's perfect.
Thank you! <3
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. 🫂

I'm calling him an orbephant! I'm trying to design a line of Orbimals
That's so cool, make sure to keep posting them Orbimals!
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:
It's adorable.
I like it's attitude. It's an apt expression, given the state of the world today
I like him.
