Remember that Debbie Bliss Cotton Angora yarn I snagged in a sale last week? Well I couldn’t resist it any longer – it’s so beautifully soft that it was just begging to be made into (yes, you’ve guessed it) a rabbit! The nice thing about it though is that it’s more of an aran weight yarn and so with a few tweaks to the pattern I now have a supersize bunny (pictured here with a regular sized one).
The larger bunny is a shade under 12 inches tall (30cm) and I’ve got some gorgeous Rowan Summer Tweed (80% cotton, 20% silk) lined up for more big bunnies.
Couldn’t finish up today without showing you the wonderful mother’s day cards I got – I suspect that Toby had just a little help (ok, a lot of help!) but Amy’s was all her own work – they’ll be going in my ‘special things’ drawer which is already pretty full of her lovely artwork! I also got a lovely pressie – kitty craft fabrics!!!

Big bunny is a good invention, could have 2 big bunnies as Mummy and Daddy to the two little bunnies already living with us. Then there are Granny and Grandad bunnies too, not forgetting cousins, nephew, nieces … the rabbit family could extend beyond my wildest dreams!!!

Love the new big rabbits. Little Green Rabbit and Isabel were reunited in Saturday at the local Point-to-Point racing so they held hands all day and shouted encouragement at their chosen horses. This rabbit is really getting to see the world!

Loving the “big” brother rabbit. I would love to see a bigger bear, either polar or panda, in the new yarn.

Wow, a big bunny. It probably makes the little rabbits feel like they are living in a ‘borrowers’ world!

Ok, those of you who already have a “Julie” bunny go to the back of the line, time for us who missed out to purchase one first 😉
LOVE the big bunny, would cost a bomb to post to Australia though, so will probably stick to “trying” to buy a smaller one 😉
Great Mother’s day cards, I too have to wait till May for mine.
cheers,
