Bunny Love

Though I am in the midst of a big snow today,
my mind is filled with
~ Bunnies ~
I suffer from serious
Bunny Love!
Whether they be the actual furry little creature
hopping around my yard
or
stuffed with fluff,
I just
LOVE BUNNIES!
So ~
over the weekend I started knitting these darling fellas.
I made them last year for Easter too.
The pattern is in one of my favorite books:
VINTAGE KNITS
for
Modern Babies
by
Hadley Fierlinger
I gathered all my supplies on Friday
and put them in a basket
and started knitting.
Don't you just love that fluffy pom~pom tail ?!!
They really are
too
darn
cute!
And where there's a  
bunny
there has to be a
carrot
This is a
I put three little jingle bells in the center of the stuffing
and
Voila'
a
baby rattle
was born!
 
If you are in the path of
 Winter's Last Stand
as I am
I hope you are
staying warm and snuggly and safe inside
where you are surrounded by
 your loved ones
hot drinks
good food
&
as much
yarn
as it takes to ride it out!

    1. Thanks Brenda!
      I was just getting ready to list the green one on my Etsy Shop today. Do you want me to list it especially for you so no one else can purchase it? I will wait to hear from you to list it at all. If you click on my Front Porch Knits button on my side bar it will take you to my Etsy Shop. I LOVE the green one!
      Have a Happy Day with your precious daughter today,
      Danette

      I LOVE knitting up these bunnies! It is still snowing here and is supposed to through at least tomorrow. I am warm and happy with my tea and yarn {surrounded by my doggies and a growing pile of bunnies!}.
      Is it snowing in your neck of the woods?
      Have a wonderful day. Hi to Miss Em.

  5. Oh, what a sweet post. I always wanted to make a knitted bunny, but never did. Perhaps one day.
    Spring has arrived to my place already. Actually, today it feels like summer. So I'm sending you a bit of sunshine. Stay warm!
