A Knitting Thank You

I've always wanted to learn how to knit. I can carve or build anything out of wood, mold anything out of clay, draw, paint, photograph, cook, crochet (kind of), and sew.... But Knitting leaves me dumbfounded. Luckily I am blessed to have an amazingly beautiful and talented sister in law. Rina of Rahardjo-Knits. I swear that she could knit the dew drops on to spiderwebs. She makes the most amazing, delicate, and beautiful creations and truly would make a magnificent teacher.

Last weekend I asked her to show me how to knit. In the past I've only managed to make a small square that was only fit to be a shawl for a lumpy porcupine. Rina is an amazing teacher with more than a good dose of patience. I still have a ways to go but I'm off to a good start with her wonderful help.This little bunny is my first ever completed knitting project. I had so much fun that I think for Christmas I will make a family of them with a carrot shaped carry bag for my niece. Thank you so much Rina for teaching me this new skill.

Washcloth bunny revisited

Hello, Good morning, and Happy spring. Winter just does not want to let go here. Snow will be returning tomorrow. Instead of frowning at the gloomy weather I thought it would be fun to revisit my washcloth bunnies from last year. They are super easy to make and whimsical enough to brighten anyone's day. Have a blessed and happy day. They would be adorable tucked inside of an Easter basket. Click on the picture for instructions on how to make these soft little bunnies and have fun.
