Baby bunny :)
I just got a birth announcement from my cousin and if you could see this pic, you will understand why I was immediately inspired to knit something for this little bundle of cuteness. Seriously, this could be the most beautiful baby I’ve ever seen, and that’s saying a lot, coming from a mother of two.
So I was racking my brain, trying to come up with something that was 1) precious, 2) quick, 3) didn’t involve going out today. As I was walking around outside pushing Isaac on his big wheel, inspiration struck! Didn’t I see something absolutely adorable at Kate Gilbert’s site? After we came in and I defrosted my fingers, I took a look, and yes indeedy, Kate has the cutest little knit bunny rabbits on her site (see Kate’s link in my sidebar).
So I bought and downloaded the pattern and *poof* a few minutes later, instant project! And I just happened to have some super-soft acrylic yarn in my stash. Yes, acrylic. I want this stuffed animal to get used and I know for a fact, that means it will have saliva, spit up, and who knows what else stuck on it extremely often. So I want the new parents to be able to throw that thing in the washer and dryer without a thought.
Two hours later (you might be faster if you don’t need to stop periodically to color with your 4-year-old daughter), voila!
It’s just so soft and squishy and cute. And now I have to knit two more for my own kiddos. Julia was a bit put out when I insisted this one had to get mailed to her new cousin.
In other news, I finished the Dusk to Dawn soaker. I typed in the name, and then thought, shouldn’t that be Dawn to Dusk? But then I thought, well, if it’s used on a baby overnight, Dusk to Dawn is a pretty appropriate name 
I have some spring-y projects in mind so keep your eyes peeled for what’s around the corner
