Yarn Along

As always, I’m knitting along with Ginny of Small Things on Wednesdays. 

This week I’m still on the same yet-to-be-named spring cardigan for Nathan because I’d been too busy needle felting and opening my new Etsy shop. Oh, and I also started gardening a little.

But I did have time to add a new friend to the in-progress projects, the bunny from Itty-Bitty Toys by Susan B. Anderson.  He’s just a body so far, but he’s already looking pretty cute!  The book is full of patterns for really cute toys, stuffed animals and interactive playthings I hope to someday make for Nathan (and other future babies).  My favorites are the ones geared for girls, of which I have none.  The bunny will show up in Nathan’s Easter basket on Easter morning.  I hope he loves it.

I hope my bunny comes out just as cute as Susan's.  I'm going to stuff him with beans for heft and weight and fiber fill for softness and overall loviness.  He's made of Lion Brand's Fishermen's wool left over from other projects, and it's such a bargain.

I'm still reading—you guessed it—Oprah's unauthorized biography, and it’s a doosie.  If you like good factual writing, good dirt and good stories about people making something incredible of themselves, I recommend it.  It’s good.

Good knitting,

Kelly
