It's Bunny Making Time Again...

Just a few days ago, while looking through the calendar,
I realized that Easter comes early this year...
as in March instead of April.
Who knew?!!
Not ME!
Which means it's time to kick it into high gear 
for my usual bunny hop,
not only for my Etsy Shop
but local customers as well.
So a couple of nights ago, as you can see,
 I began to gather some supplies.
Because I love making bunnies 
So Much
I keep a particular basket well stocked
with nothing but 
bunny making paraphernalia.
In the Springtime my LYS owner
places a huge order for me of all the colors I need of
Jeannee 
made by Plymouth Yarn.
It's a fiber blend of 51% Cotton & 49% Acrylic.
I love it!
It has beautiful stitch definition.
It's soft and it's machine washable and dryable.
Just perfect for baby items.
Here's my first born bunny for this Spring.
Straight off the needles today.
This one is already sitting pretty on my
I like to leave the ribbons off for one picture
in case someone out there
prefers a little less frill.
I can't help myself...
I just love that little pom pom tail.

Another tiny little bunny has already hopped 
onto my needles this afternoon.
He'll grow up to be a 
Pocket Bunny
like this one from last Spring
{who is long gone...}.

I knit countless amounts of these every Spring.
Not only do they go online
but I have so many local customers who order them
that I can barely make them fast enough.
Surprisingly, they even sell in the Fall
when I take them to the Craft Fair
at the Pumpkin Festival.
Guess I'm not the only 
Bunny Lover
out there ;-)

    1. I know... it IS sneaky... I really do prefer Easter to stay politely in April. But for some reason nobody ever consults ME...
      Just had to have a bit of fun with the basic bunny ear hat :-)

    1. I'm not surprised you share my love for bunnies... we have similar tastes in so many other pretties :-)
      Easter has always sneaked right up on me too... I try hard to figure it out in advance these days for my family's sake and so I can make bunnies to sell.

  4. The bunnies are among my favorite things. Love when they come out to visit each Spring. When you are not so busy, I will place a special order for one white with green stripes and one brown with black stripes made a little bigger to represent the parents of our brood. Love you girly girly. Genie Bunny Beanie
