Bigger is Better Part 2

Churchmouse took their Jolly Wee Elf pattern and made a BIG elf. You can purchase the pattern on Ravelry and then download the free addendum here.
Our Jolly Wee Elves have gained a Jolly Great friend! We’ve created a free adaptation to our original pattern so you can knit this big buddy. Just the right size for a hug, this scaled-up version of our little hand-knit pals is so fun to make—and quite quick with big yarns and big needles!
A little tip about the base of the elf. Churchmouse asks you to add a washer for weight. If it's late at night and you don't have one, drop in a loonie or toonie.

Here are a few colour suggestions for Radarta
Dr. Zhivagos' Sky
Liquid Gold
Mercury
Rye Bourbon
Rain Water
Antique Lace
Whiskers
Simply Greige
This is the combination I am going to make. Very subdued but not every shawl can be bright.
Moonglow
Whiskers
Purr
Tern

It was a crazy day in the store so there wasn't time to put together more combinations. When I get home next week I'll make more. Rockshelter Sock makes a beautiful shawl.

My yarn is wound and I'm ready to hit the road. Beth has a movie on and is knitting away. We are going over make ones before I leave just to make sure she has it down.
