A few weeks ago, Monica offered suggestions for toys for the Easter basket. Recently, Yvonne finished Hop, an adorable bunny from a Blue Sky Alpacas pattern, available here at the shop . Hop takes one skein of Blue Sky Alpacas Organic Cotton. His sweater is made from O-Wool Balance, a DK cotton and wool blend.
Hop poses with Annette’s fiber rabbit, Professor Spaghetti Bandit.
If you’d rather knit a cow instead of a rabbit, here’s Monica’s Knitted Cow, from the Rowan Purelife book for children, also available in the shop. Cow is also made from Blue Sky Alpaca Organic and Dyed Cotton.
Methinks that cow might be calling my name…..
Hee, Cow’s famous
the udder on the cow is…disconcerting. I am just saying.
Isn’t it though? It’s annoying to knit, too (the patch, each udder knitted in the flat separately, seamed up, stuffed, sewed to the patch, etc).
But the second we got the book in and saw the pattern (going on over a year ago now), that was oddly the thing that drew us to it. Disturbingly adorable, shall we say?
