HE’S GAY AND FRIENDLY!

From: ‘Home-made Toys’ The Australian Women’s Weekly, 1960s approx.

[eldritchalpaca]

he's gay and friendly!

(yarn info, pattern thoughts, and extra pics under the cut)

I had so much fun knitting this little guy! I didn't go into it with the intention of making a patchwork elephant but I'm really pleased with the results!

The pattern was very interesting to follow, it was generally intelligible but just not how modern knitting patterns are written. My first attempt at the body piece had to be unraveled because I missed a row and his butt got mixed up with his back leg. Otherwise, not too hard, but if anyone has specific questions about how I interpreted the pattern feel free to ask!

(or any knitting questions really. playing knitting tech support is among my favorite activities)

I decided against making the saddle partially because I ran out of yarn and was dedicated to only using this set of yarn, and partially because I'm proud of my seams at the 4-way color changes and don't want to cover them up.

The yarn is a worsted mini set from my family's yarn dying business, Shelby Strings, in the colorway Geode Cache.

I like the patchwork effect so much that I'm working on writing out an adapted pattern to give out for free at yarn shows! A lot of people like our mini sets but don't know what to do with them, and I think this little guy is a perfect use.

I'm currently working on multiple pattern versions; one that's true to the original but written for a modern audience, and one with multiple colors (along with some tweaks for a nicer time sewing it up and a knit version of the tusks).

I'll be sure to post them here when I'm done, but I couldn't resist posting my perfect baby boy the moment I finished him :)

thanks for reading my ramblings, here's some more pics for the road:

AS PROMISED!

here is my gay and friendly elephant pattern document! I've included a transcription of the original pattern, a translation of the pattern into modern knitting pattern verbiage, and notes on how I made my patchwork elephant because he's just so cute and I think everyone needs one.

if you find any problems with the pattern or have any questions, my ask box is open! and feel free to tag me in your elephantine creations! i want to see the world full of friendly gay elephants :)

(also, patches says hi)

@1kittynoir1 replied to your post:

What did it get used for? 👀

It's not done yet, but it's the facing, collar, and cuffs for the patchwork dressing gown I'm working on! It was less than half a metre of silk/rayon velvet that I dyed in college because the sample we did of that colour was so nice I wanted a bigger piece. (It was PRO MX fibre reactive dye in the colour Marine, and I don't have my dye sample book with me right now but I think it was at 4%. It shows up more green on some fibres and more blue on others, but is always gorgeous.)

I had no specific plans for it at the time, but eventually the perfect project came along, and there was just enough!

I've been working on this thing (intermittently, in short busts) for a few years now, and am finally done the patchwork and on to the construction. I've posted occasional updates on @vincentbriggs and will post photos there when I'm done.

I've also been filming the whole process, so I'll have a video about it up on my youtube channel eventually, but that'll be a while after it's finished because I have so so so many clips and it's going to take a horrifyingly large amount of editing.

It's based on this c. 1835 original, which is a good 50-100 years later than what I usually sew, but I like it and I wanted one.

If anyone's wondering how many triangles mine has, it's 6,957.

Since I've got the time consuming part out of the way I'm hoping I can get the construction done before winter officially ends.

Edit: Why does everyone think I had a bad time working on the triangles?? I loved working on them, it was so satisfying to put lots of little bits of colour together. The reason I worked on it intermittently is because I could not put it down once I got working on it, and would work on it all day for several days straight until I was very tired and sore, and then I had to put it away to stop myself, and then I'd forget about it for a few months.

Also, they're machine sewn. Most of the actual garment construction will be by hand, but the patchwork is all by machine.

[pterribledinosaurdrawings]

I finished my dressing gown.

And besides the velvet, it of course used up a lot of other little bits of fabric!

(Once again, my sewing and other non-dinosaur works are mainly posted on @vincentbriggs)

[pterribledinosaurdrawings]

Video finished :)

It's an hour and 13 minutes long and I say 11,785 words in it.

[pterribledinosaurdrawings]

i want to build up my skill set to one day be able to make something like this!!!! #op this is 1) absolutely gorgeous & 2) so much helpful information! thank u for sharing 🥰 #all the shots of twirling in the finished garment made me so so happy i got a little teary-eyed??? #‘it looks very nice. it reminds me of — you know when people have extra nipples?’ #absolutely Took Me Out i hollered #like that comment toward the end of such an earnest video? so unexpected. so fucking hilarious

Thank you!! Good luck on your sewing! And I'm glad my Very Correct nipple observations were appreciated

[pterribledinosaurdrawings]

This post is getting notes again, and I just wanna add some pictures of other things I've made videos of.

Stripey painted leather gloves.

Velvet mite brooch.

Leaf for head.

Leaf for torso, a leaf sequel, now with added slime mould beading.

Very very long and detailed shirt tutorial, which I also did a written version of. You should make one, it's all rectangles.

and Normal Fabric Waistcoat.

I am very slow at making youtube videos but I post monthly updates on the video stuff I've been working on over on patreon, along with 4 extra dinosaurs a month. (and aaghh I know I've been really really sparse with the dinosaurs here lately, I'm sorry!! It's not intentional, there are just a lot of other things to do and also it's been over 9 years and every year I get a little more tired of drawing dinosaurs!)

Right now I'm editing a video for a thing I finished sewing almost 2 months ago, and it's not even one of my longer videos, I've just been doing other things and stuff.

[pterribledinosaurdrawings]

Oh hey I made another one recently and it actually is a Normal Fabric Waistcoat, unlike the previous one which was candy wrappers.

[pterribledinosaurdrawings]

not to make a long post even longer but I just finished another one about some fancy aprons

[pterribledinosaurdrawings]

Leaf for torso again, this time Bigger.

I'm not sure if "defect" is the right word. It is living it's life as a pillow. That's like, the dream.

Edit: After a little digging I believe that this species of starfish has a mutation that sometimes occurs, here's a different photo and "biscuit starfish" individual:

ok, today is September 9. I have a challenge for anybody who's interested:

pick a project, (it can be literally anything), or start up a brand new project.

make a mental note/comment what project you are going to work on, and how much progress you've made so far.

try to get as much done on that project as you can before September 17.

you have 8 days to see how much you can get done. none of the projects need to be finished by the seventeenth, you'll just need to work on them! I wish the best of luck to anyone who wants to try this!

[null-oh]

Hmm

I have some nice multicoloured cotton yarn, I've been thinking what to make of it for a couple of weeks now

Maybe it's time to cast on

which knitting technique were you most scared of/intimidated by?

sock heels

intarsia

double knitting

lace

cables

steeking

double knitting

fair isle

Even if you've done it, answer the one that stressed you out the most or that you intentionally avoided.

[null-oh]

Steeking.

I don't have anywhere nearly enough mental stability to CUT MY KNITTING.

[null-oh]

Update: I DID IN FACT cut one of my sweaters to turn it into a cardigan, and it went surprisingly fine, considering that the pattern wasn't designed for this kind of messing with, hehehe

The prospect of not wearing the piece 'cause it's uncomfortable is more scary then the prospect of cutting it

[pisaracraft]

It's been a long time since I felt like knitting, let alone knitting socks, but last week I started stress knitting and now I have two finished socks and started a third 😂

They're part of my "Pairless socks" project. I am very much not neurotypical, and I have some Opinions™ about socks. The biggest two are: I can't wear socks that feel different to each other and I also absolutely loathe trying to hunt down the pairs after washing.

I realized that since I can wear wool socks without "normal socks" if they're snug enough and I don't care if the socks look the same, the answer to both of those issues is to make a sock pattern specifically for my own feet and then just never make two socks look the same :D I'm not exactly sure how many I have made, but I think it's close to 15 socks at this point.

[pisaracraft]

@null-oh asked to see the rest of the socks, so here they are, at least most of them 😁

I know at least one sock is hiding somewhere, so the current count is (at least) 14 socks!

[null-oh]

What a lovely bunch!! 🤩☺
