Ela! 🐘🧡🐘

🐘 🐘 🐘 🐘 🐘

Hello!

I'm very happy to finally introduce you today to 

 'Ela' 

....who is very fond of a cucumber sandwich and a pot
of darjeeling tea in the afternoon at the Tearoom....


the new knitting pattern is now live on 
Ravelry!

Method 1 worked 'in the round' and seamless here
Method 2 worked 'back and forth' then seamed here

💗 🐘 🧡

I actually started designing this pattern some time ago 
and originally it was worked 'in the round' (perfect for an elephant)

...but when I had almost finished... 

I decided to also create it 'back and forth' on 2 single pointed needles 
so that everyone could make their elephants at the same time 
whichever knitting method is preferred

It was a bit of a challenge

 to be working on both methods at the same time 
(I usually publish one version then work on the alternative method afterwards)

but I'm very happy now both are complete that the pattern will be 
available for everyone

🧡 🐘 💗

All details about each version are included in the individual listings

but if you prefer to knit 'in the round' on dpns you will need 'Method 1'

...and if you like to work on 2 single pointed needles

 'back and forth' you will prefer 'Method 2'

💗 🐘 🧡

There are lots of step by step instructions in the pattern 

and I took all the photographs along the way as I worked
(quite a lot!)

Also, there are useful links to techniques and materials 

and yarn suggestions of varying prices

I didn't realise it would be so much fun to knit elephants...

...I think it's the trunk that really does it for me...

(did I mention too that Ela never forgets a face?)

Hello Everyone

 🌸

How are you?

I hope life's treating you well

🌸 🌸 🌸

A little update today

We now have an MJT Ravelry Group!

If you’re on Ravelry do come and say hello. 

It would be lovely to see you 

💗

For knitters with finished past MJT projects, 

or who are currently working on one, it’s a new place to share your makes 

along with your favourite yarns and tips 

💗


There’ll also be regular news on new patterns and works in progress plus 

Giveaways and Competitions to take part in 

✨✨✨✨

... and if you love to bake we also have a thread to share your favourite recipes 

🌸

Elsewhere, the new pattern is complete

When it's released there will be 2 versions available

...to work both 'in the round' or 'back and forth' ...

I find this really interesting to do when it suits the design 

...and it definitely does in this case

🌸

Life is busy at the moment

but everything is ready for the Giveaway

(I ordered some lovely Seasalt bags for the prizes as a late addition

...and they are so lovely! ⛵️)

I'm planning to photograph it this week now I have everything together

🌸

The book above is a latest purchase and 

as I work my way through it I'm finding it's an interesting read for me

(I have so many shelves of craft books!)

Wishing you the best new week all

Back soon
