cooking up some bunnies

First take some good quality yarn (here I’ve used some Sublime organic cotton)

pour into bowl and stir vigorously to encourage lumps

shape, place on a baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes at gas mark 3

et voila!

Oh I wish it was that easy! Here’s the evidence though that there is some bunny production going on in these here parts! And the bunnies have a new friend too, so if you’re around early next week pop back and meet him. Happy weekend all!

  4. Julie – I know you don’t know me from Adam, and I can’t remember how I first found your blog. But I love reading your stories – your children, the hedgehog tale, and the adventures of your Little Cotton Rabbits and their friends. So I award you the “You Make My Day” award on my blog. Thank you, and hugs!

  5. Now if I didn’t know you better, I’d be mighty concerned about a Kilner Jar with ‘Body Parts’ in your kitchen. Are they labelled with black stickers or blackboard paint? Because they look good.

  6. I love this post so much because I call the patterns for my creations ‘receipes’! I love it so much.
    And I truly adore your little rabbits…well everything you knit really.
    I dream of one day being quick enough to be able to call one of them my own! – Jen

    Did you tell us once you were in marketing? because my god you certainly know how to tease us and get our appetites whetted.
    What I would like to say is unless you are making at least 150 bunnies please don’t tease!!!
    I look at them longingly knowing my digits won’t be quick enough to bid.
    You do realise I hope that you are a STAR.

  9. So this is how Little Cotton Rabbits enjoy a sauna experience in Winter! They say “You are what you eat” so I guess if you follow the recipe above, you become a little cotton rabbit!
