May brings another finished object… err, make that a pair of finished objects! I caught the obsession with knitting bunnies earlier last month and obsessively knit I did! Susan Anderson’s patterns are wonderfully written – and her method of knitting a bunny is genius.
My mods: Due to leftover yarn amounts, the boy bunny has a slightly shorter shirt because I wanted him to have long sleeves. This worked well because the girl bunny appears to have a slightly longer “frock” however, I only had enough yarn for her to have “short sleeves” which I think worked just fine. I also made much larger tails for each bunny. An aspect I loved (as did Genevieve!!) – Big pompoms FTW!
The bunnies are perfect for using up odds and ends of yarn. The directions are super clear and not at all fiddly! My advice… make some bunnies! SOON!
Vacation knitting has consisted of a sock. I have not even picked up Marsa Alam – although I brought it along.
Vacation reading has also been a bit in the slow lane. I managed to finish A Ladder to the Sky before we left. I am at the point where I want to read all the John Boyne novels available. Yes, they are that good. Better, even! Like The Heart’s Invisible Furries this was a book that I could not stop listening to. Boyne somehow makes me want to listen despite the fact that my dislike for the main character (Maurice Swift) is off the charts. And, the ending… perfect, brilliant, and so fitting. 5-stars and if you have read no John Boyne I highly recommend him!
That is all I have for this week, and as always – if you wrote a post to share, please leave your link below!
Thank you for your participation!
Those bunnies look great! I may take your advice and knit some. Soon! 😉
Love your (Genevieve’s) bunnies! You had me at “not at all fiddly” and I will be making some bunnies of my own. Slow vacation reading and knitting is just as it should be; there is so much more to do. Enjoy!
The bunnies are absolutely adorable! The big pompoms definitely add some fun and pizzazz.
oh my goodness – so CUTE! socks are a perfect vacation project … enjoy!!
Those pompoms!!!! I’m sure Genevieve is having a great time with her adorable new bunnies. 🙂
Those bunnies are darling. I did knit Anderson’s pattern, A Bear in a Bunny Suit awhile back. I wonder if I could use the same pattern and just make a bunny? Off to check it out.
The bunnies are adorable! I started one for Jackie for Easter but I didn’t finish it.
I’m with you on John Boyne…I’m going all the way in. And those bunnies….whoa!
The bunnies are absolutely amazing! I’m going to pick up more Boyne audio.
Your bunnies are adorable! I agree with you; Susan Anderson’s patterns are great!
WOW!! they are adorable, you are so creative and the mods are perfect!
