Here is my latest geeky plarn project. It’s been a long time in the making. I’m very proud of how long it took me to get enough bags to do this project, and I have to say I didn’t even get all of them myself. I fashioned the bag as a backpack rather than a shopping bag so I could operate it hands-free. I got the straps too long, so I just tucked up the extra strappage. I can always undo that if a larger person ever uses the backpack. My try at doing the PHP elephant was a limited by the resolution of this large needle knitting. Also he had to be vertical, and he had to be across the short way so that he would have the right orientation and so that he wouldn’t be covered up when the top is closed. I have the pattern I created for the elephant if anyone really wants it. You could probably improve it with a slightly finer resolution–I only had 30 st of width to work with.

Its nice PHP elephant written bag and its more beautiful because its hand made. beautiful color thanks a lot.
Its beautiful bag and i just love the way this stitched nice bag thanks.
and you leave the house wearing that…lol
although its a million miles better then i could do, so, bravo!
You have made very nice Bag. I like your Bag. great job.
Yes, Betty, I leave the house wearing it. I like my art to be wearable and or at least nominally useful. I am a geek and a trend setter, not a follower. I don’t give a rat’s ass what people think of me, as long as they think something. If I dress to the current style I become part of the background, and those who behold me aren’t even conscious of me. Art and making a statement do not always end up being what is currently thought beautiful or stylish. (Remember the Maplethorpe Virgin Mary — elephant crap is hardly beautiful!!) But you know if you look at classical art or even advertising from the 80′s that styles change, and standards of beauty with them. There are no absolutes, and if you let other people tell you what to wear or carry you’re a sheep. Using my elephant feels right to me, the bag is infused with magnificent karma, and geeks who recognize the logo give me kudos. (BTW The logo is OS and CC so I’m violating no one’s IP).
Sorry to say, but that is uber geeky lol. I dont think i would dear be seen in my own house with it, let alone leave the house with it.
hehe PHP lovely bag:)Best regards
Its beautiful hand made bag i 4really like the color combination thanks for sharing i will definitely try to stitch a bag like this.
Its really nice bag I take 5 minutes to understand what exactly it has written on it PHP. Well done very cute elephant. Color is fabulous.
Mind boggling bag and i like the bag because of it is looking very unique and spectacular.
That is a great bag. I wish I had the talent to even try something like that. I just got my friend a very basic how to knit book.. I hope she really likes it.
The color chosen by you are the perfect for your PHP elephant bag.The bag is looking trendy as well as cool.Well done.
The colors of plastic were the most plentiful ones. My landlady clearly shops primarily at Coles as she had a number of grey ones to get me started. I want to emphasize most strongly that if I ever get a plastic bag I feel like a yutz for not being organized and having a reusable bag available.
This bag is nice but I think the PHP Elephant bag is very short it should be little broad. Anyway its good one.
Its really very nice and mind blowing woolen bag its really beautiful its color combination is so nice thanks.
This backpack could be use to take little pets out during winter time. Small dogs and cats or even hamsters? Surely it is warm inside.
very attractive bag… small children will love bags with animal picture in it.
Good work…keep it up..the bag looks very handy and useful
Nice bag and very useful also I really like the color of this php elephant bag.
nice looking bag!
i like your bag design so creative!
thanks
Thats a cool bag!!
Why is there caution tape around your door on the pic???

Why is there caution tape around your door on the pic???
Cheers
Hehe someone spotted the caution tape. Good eye! I know YOU are human. The tape is because the photograph was taken inside a teen ager’s room. And the caution tape, (I caution you) is warranted. Only authorized personnel allowed in there, only at certain times, and with a pass!
i like the color combination of this bag… very pleasant color. it makes everyone feels happy.
Cats would get out. Hamsters would poop in it. I don’t think it’s very warm inside… it’s very holey. I’ll just put my lunch and my ipod in it thank you very much.
Oh!!that a cute bag..Loved it….
This is great. My husband does PHP development and I have been trying to find him a little elephant statue or plush. It is kind of hard to find PHP crafts – this is great.
You have made very nice Bag.
Wonderfull bag:)How long You do it:)?
Congrats dude! I like your geeky plarn project, The bad design is really admirable.
That is, perhaps, the most homely bag I have ever seen in my life. Nice work! One of a kind for sure!
Great looking elephant, and it sits nice on the back of your back
its looks cheaper and great It is better idea to look fancy with this bag in small budget.
Nice! I want one!
Looks sweety,is it hard to make it?
LOL, i really need to have one of those bags !
i like the color combination of this bag

Geeky is the new awesome and that’s exactly what that bag is.
