Obsession
An on-line friend has been knitting these clever little elephants during the last year. Most have gone to children in foreign countries. A few weeks ago a friend of my friend was trying to put together items for homeless school kids who are so poor that they literally have nothing. No shoes. No tooth brushes. Certainly not toys. These kids don't live in a third world country. They live in Kentucky.

So I tracked down the pattern and started to knit a couple to help her out. Then I knit another one and again, one more. Then I knit a couple more. I have only stopped knitting them for this group because the little guys have to go in the mail on Monday.

This is the funnest thing I've done for charity ever. If this kids enjoy the Nellyphants even a quarter as much as I've enjoyed knitting them, the world will be a much happier place.

Tip loves them too.

Will you please excuse me? I think I need to go knit another Nellyphant.

I love the pictures. Such a nice group of Nellyphants. I'll be sure to save my left-over sock yarn for you. :-)
