A Cardi for the Rabbit

In the hols, Mum knitted this cardi for Lucy's rabbit. (Way beyond my knitting skills.) The wool came from Mum's stash and the pattern from Alicia Paulson - the rabbit's designer. We could only find four matching buttons, so there are only four on the cardi. What I love most about the cardi are the holes in the hood for the ears. I think I would quite like a pink knitted hoodie too!

A Rabbit in a Capelet!

I am working on a rabbit for baby Lucy. My sewing machine has packed a sad, so I am only able to do hand sewing projects at the moment ... I quite like hand sewing.

I bought the pdf pattern from Alicia Paulson and the wool mix grey felt from Spotlight. The ear lining is from in my stash and when the sewing machine is better, I will whip up her dress from this fabric also from the stash ... both are from my paisley phase.

I also managed to knit Maggie the Rabbit a capelet. It's been ages since I did any knitting, but it all came back. This is probably as sophisticated as my knitting gets. I have bought a pattern for a cool cardi for the rabbit with holes in the hood for her ears. I will take that home to Mum in the hols for her to knit!

Now onto her turquoise felt boots!

PS Still no sign of small camera or big camera's cord. I did find big camera's second battery though.

Re-thinking the Grey and Green

I was thinking a Strips and Bricks number like here @ a stitch in dye.

But now I am LOVING this log cabin by Alicia Paulson of posie gets cosy.

So much so, I have ordered Modern Log Cabin Quliting from fishpond.co.nz. (Fishpond was cheaper than Book Depository - a pleasant surprise. I don't even look at Amazon anymore. Their extorniate overseas postage kills any bargain book prices.)
