Bunny Tales

On Saturday, having various errands to run,

and with our granddaughter Gabby,

 who had spent Friday night over,

in tow,

we took a little road trip for the day.

Just close around home.

It reached an unseasonable 61 degrees here that day.

So our first stop was the car wash.

While we sat there waiting to enter into the world of swirling suds,

I knitted happily away,

until I began to 

roast.

I couldn't figure out why on earth Scott would turn on the heat

on such a beautiful day.

Men are usually chomping at the bit to turn on air conditioning.

I finally said,

"What are you doing... I'm dying over here!"

"Huh?"

Long story short...

The dual control was malfunctioning so his side was kicking out his 

beloved air conditioning

while mine was cranking out some seriously high heat.

And here I thought I was having one of those 

Bad Baby Hot Flashes!!!

So...

Next stop was the car dealership.

Turns out our brand spanking new van needs a new part.

Anyway...

We continued on our way to Pekin, the next town over.

We wanted to take Gabby shopping, out to lunch

and to visit my father in law 

who is convalescing for a couple more weeks 

in a nursing home there.

Seeing as how we were en route even longer

than I originally thought we would be,

I was quite pleased with myself for having the foresight

to stock my knitting basket with several different colors of yarn

so I could just keep happily whipping out little bunnies 

all day long if need be.

But as I finished up the very first 

little fella

"Oh NO!, I don't have a darning needle!!!"

Well thankfully I still had the circular needle I had used for knitting

the bunny ears hat down in the bottom of my basket

so I was able to transfer the first little bunny off 

the straight needle and onto it,

therefore freeing it up so I could continue on.

I ended up getting the first three ...

turquoise

pink

&

purple

bunnies done that day.

I found the effect of them all lined up together so charming however,

that I carried on when I got home.

Now I have several little bunnies

awaiting faces , ears and fluffy tails. 

There's just one last bit of my 

Bunny Tale

I want to share with you...

As we rounded the corner that finally landed us on 

the street that would take us to visit my father in law

this was the conversation

as I was knitting with ever increasing speed 

to reach that "perfect stopping point"...

Man Behind the Wheel...

"Okay, We're almost there, Better go ahead and pinch it off."

{WHAT??!??!! I mean really only a man would say such a thing}.

Lady Who is Speed Knitting...

"Actually, I'm going to cut it off."

Man Behind the Wheel...

"Well there's no reason to be violent about it."
