I’m in the process of re-making a bobble bunny which I promised a friend, Les, way back in October (sorry, sorry, sorry). I did make all of the required items – but I decided I hated them, and I never sent them. These were done in a mochimochi style, and although I didn’t have a problem with the pattern itself, I just hated my execution.

Anyway, I found the cutest alternative bunny pattern on Sunday, as mentioned before.

I knitted the first one as a tester in white. I didn’t modify the pattern at all, which is fairly unusual for me, apart from using a felt backing for the face. The simple reason was that I wasn’t at home when I made the bunny, and didn’t have any felt.

I embroidered the eye with brown embroidery floss. I don’t have any black to embroider the pupils just yet, and JS tweeted the following this morning:

What do you think? I’ll give the general consensus later in the week. I’ve had a large number of opinions already!

I think it’s kinda cute…but then again, it did spawn Frank, so perhaps I’m not one to judge, as he is undoubtedly scary.

The bunny (pictured above sitting in a vanilla candle) is going to be made into something useful, as I hate having ‘things’ lying around. Maybe a key-ring? This is where I regret making it in white!

Anyway, I’d better get on with the rest of the bunnies so I can send them to Les and make some little girls happy, hopefully! I have to do piggies as well. Watch this space for the progress; it’s going quite well at the moment, and my ability to sew up seams has improved immensely!

Much love,
