Ok, so it isn't next week like i said when i would post photos, but i have been hard at work making a sweater for an elephant. I think i'm moving along pretty fast, but it still doesnt seem fast enough if i want to get this project done by the deadline. But here are some pics of what i did in the first 5 days. After that i seem to have stopped taking photos every day. But getting photos of the back of the elephant is a little harder since he is in a corner in my studio. Since these photos I have finished the front and a large back panel. I am almost done with one side panel, and 1/4 done with the other. As I am piecing together this sweater I am begining to realize just how difficult this installation process is going to be. Once i get everything crocheted and ready to go, it all has to come off the elephant so he can be disassembled to get out the door. And then everything will have to be put back together on site at the library, and his sweater seams will have to be sewn in situ. I have no idea how this is all going to work. I'm beginning to feel the pressure, but am trying to focus on just getting the crochet done first.

Wow! It looks great! I'm glad you considered the fact that the sweater would need to come off because I'm the sort to crochet the whole thing and THEN discover that. I suppose you could do buttons, like how you did with the logs.
