Elephant included for scale

This is, quite possibly, the cutest package of yarn I have ever received (elephant included for scale). (Okay, ruler, too.)


Here's the thing: there are three two1 skeins of yarn in there. And I am fully cognizant of the large, awesome object they are going to become (a gift for a loyal blog reader, so pardon me if I don't even show the return address).

How is this even possible?

I am going to surround air with small, discrete edges, linked together. With my bare hands! (Okay, and a size 5 circular needle that I don't own yet2).

Once upon a time I had a little sister who believed that I was magic (aren't little sisters great?). There are days I believe it myself.

1 I finally opened the package...

2 And I'm really happy about that. I am rotating through three projects on a daily basis, frantic to finish even one of them. If I had a size 5 circular needle, I would cast on this project, and none of those three projects would EVER be finished.

My, that pachyderm looks familiar! Whose is it? Did I knit it? I can't see its eyes, or I'd likely know.

Tis my elephant, who stayed home to do some exploring.

Given the size of that phant, it is indeed an adorable package! I love little packages. They sometimes have the best stuff in them.

I understand what you mean about projects. I have too many projects on my needles. The only thing saving me from madness is that I can't *find* two of them since the move. Two are hibernating (one should just be frogged at this point). So I am only working on one project currently. But if I don't find one of the missing projects it is gonna need to be frogged as it won't fit DD by the time I finish it. *grumblegrowl*
