Knitted Bunny

Today I look forward to beginning a new hand knit project.  I have not knitted in many years, but this super cute girl bunny has tempted me to pick up yarn again:


I first saw knitted bunnies on a Quiltsalott posting.  My reaction was "Aw, too cute."  I was curious and followed the link to Little Cotton Rabbits and was smitten with all the bunny rabbits. It was easy to purchase and download the pattern.

Next was a trip to a local yarn store (the brick and mortar variety) and a refresher knitting demo on YouTube, and I am ready to start clicking those needles.



Since I haven't knitted in years, I had no supplies not even a scrap of yarn.  Therefore, the initial bunny will not be inexpensive although the pattern itself is an excellent value.

It is amazing that I can purchase a pattern from across an ocean and have it printed in full color within seconds.

I am grateful to have discovered Kathy's Slow Sunday Stitching weekly linky party as I am a slow stitcher. I need to start my knit stitches in January to be completed by Easter.

How cute! I've never knitted, but did crochet (yrs. ago). Enjoy your slow stitching.

I made one of these for my granddaughter! I need to make a girl and boy for my antique child's rocker that belonged to my husbands grandfather. They are adorable.

Have fun. I haven't a clue how to knit.
