knitted bunny in action
Last October, I knit a super cute Jess Hutch bunny for a new relative who was still gestating at the time. [pattern | ravelry link]
Both the new baby and the bunny came out fabulously, and my cousin recently posted some photos of them together:
They look happy together, don’t you think?
On the knitting front, there’s not much else to report. I’m a halfway through the first sleeve of my Confection baby shrug, and the Endless Baby Blanket is nearing 50% completion, having gone through two full balls of Paton’s classic wool merino.
I did end up buying three skeins of the super cheap Cascade Eco+ closeout at Webs. I ended up ordering it online and paying for shipping, however, so it didn’t feel like such a crazy deal. (I live an hour away from the warehouse/store in Northampton, so I always go in person. But I wanted to skip the journey out to western Massachusetts with the baby, so I ordered in this time.)
The muted lilac color looks great in person, and the wool is nice and soft. I’m looking forward to working with it someday, if I ever finish either of my two current projects. The baby is time consuming and I don’t actually get to knit all that much. She’s damn cute, though:
