soooooo cute

At the moment I am writing up a pattern for a knitted cat. However progress is very slow and my enthusiasm has waned somewhat. For a wee break I knitted up some baby bunnies, a pattern by Laura Long, which is in her book Knitted Toy Tales. They book is absolutely delightful and I like the way she uses fabric. Sometimes its nice just to follow someone elses pattern and interesting to see how they do things.

  2. Hi Sam, Thanks, you can also knit a mummy bunny.
    The knitted cat pattern wont be a freebie as I have spent so much time on it and will be available in my etsy/folksy shop, Alison

  4. Aaah.... I have this book and I meant to knit the bunnies. I started with the chenille type wool, but I think as a beginner it was too much for me and I gave up. I should try again.

  5. hi Wendy, sometimes that sortoff wool can be hard to knit as you cant see the stitches very well. I just used acrylic double knit and used a smaller needle size than it said in the pattern, so the stuffing wouldnt show threw, best wishes, Alison
