One stitch at a time. : )Naturally I thought of the joke/saying: How do you eat a elephant?
One bite at a time.
Often used as a time management metaphor, too, it seems.
What a fun, fun pattern Ysolda has designed! Very well written with all directions in nice, tidy tables with stitch counts. The little stuffed animal begins with 6 stitches at the top of his head and proceeds into the trunk. Stitches are then picked up (following a photo diagram in the pattern!) and the body is knitted down. Then stitches are picked up to knit the appendages. Clever girl.
Instead of using Emily Ocker's circular cast on, I found and used Laura Nelkin's Circular Cast On video tutorial. It uses the same principle but you don't have to get UP to find a crochet hook!

Looks like a fun knit!
Too cute!
When I read your title I was thinking "slowlllly!" Sounds like a fun knit, I might check into that one. Alex loves elephants - well, anything from Africa.
I thought I was the only one that hated getting up to find something needed to knit. Today I learned how to cable without a cable needle cause I was too lazy to find mind. 10 years ago I would have been famous!
