Storm’s a brewin… forecast here is full of nothing but rain clouds and we have some perfect rainy weather craftbooks to introduce you to. Suzanne is an avid knitter and was kind enough to share her Easter bunny/wicked knitting love with us…
So any holiday that celebrates candy is my kind of holiday and then you throw bunnies in … no brainer. Having spent a bit of time as a kid in a place where “shalom” was the common greeting, I can’t tell you how enchanted I was with the idea of the Easter Bunny and baskets filled with chocolate. I got right in there and added what I knew… knitted bunnies!
These guys are from a really great book called Knitted Animalsby Anne-Dorthe Grigaff. There are so many sweet little creatures to make and PERFECT for beginners. Ms.Grigaff uses basic squares to form her animals and they knit up quickly so if you have little knitters in your world that need to do something where they can have more immediate results these are the ticket, completely doable.
Now these two farmers are from Toy Knits by Debbie Bliss. You definitely need a little more skill to pull this off but not a lot…
knitting is following directions and counting. We can all do that… right?! Shelia Fee of Sheep to Shore fame can set you up with everything you need to make whatever you want. She is also a great teacher. Well I think we need a holiday to celebrate ice cream. I will begin to look for the perfect cow pattern!
