Diversionary knitting

I was knitting along on the Haiku baby sweater Saturday evening, working on the second sleeve. As the yarn was dwindling, I remembered the last hank I purchased had never been wound...and although I do have a Swift and ball winder, I was too lazy to dig them out and use them.

So, what to do? Well, after seeing this little cutie crafted by Abby, I just had to stop and make one. I already had the pattern, having made the "Mama" in white. So I cast on and came up with this little guy!




Say hello to baby bunny! A cute little pocket pal, eh? Just palm size, about seven inches tall, easy to carry about. This may be my new desktop companion. Well, at least until I make another one!

The bunny is cute! Did you knit it up with Lamb's Pride?

I'm working on one of Kate's bunnies. I was wondering what yarn you used for you white one?

Sandy, the white bunny was knit with Berrocco "Plush," much fuzzier than the Lamb's Pride I used for the baby brown bunny.
