I thought I'd have a break from the endless skirt and do something cute and fun. And it being ANZAC day all the shops are shut. Except the pubs :-)
Anyway, this was even quicker that my easter bunny! Very sweet and it naturally sits on it's bum once you've stuffed it which I thought looked really good too.
I decided to give it felt wings since I thought if I gave it wings in the same yarn as it's body that they wouldn't stand out as much and I think these are MUCH cuter!
So cute! I'm so impressed with myself :-D
I love knitting, spinning, hand-sewing and tatting! So many crafts, so little time :)

Test Knitting...
So far I've done one practise poncho because it's the only way I can figure out how much yardage I use.

Here's a thought!
I've been leafing through my OBSENE pile of knitting magazines since it really seems criminal to have so many resourses and not use them more effectively, when I had a thought!
Quite often I look through them all and think "Oh, I like that! Oh! And that!" but when I go to find the darn thing later on I can't remember what the pattern's called or the magazine it's in! So frustrating!!!
So I think I'll take a pic of the pattern when I see one I like and put it here and that way I'll at least have a visual starting point to go from if I ever decide at a later date to give it a go!!
Maybe a picture of the cover too :)

I hate patterns with no picture!
I do! I want a picture with a pattern that the designer has made or had made so I know what they think it should look like! Otherwise how am I supposed to know I'm doing it right??
I mean, really? There's nothing here! Even the name seems oddly random! Anyway I'm going to knit this and make up a pattern sheet myself WITH a photo! If nothing else it'll help me document the changes I've done so far and be a guide should I want to do it again but different. Quite pleased with what I have so far though :-)
