An autumn giveaway

Julie (little Cotton Rabbits)

Back on September 3rd I celebrated my 15th blogging anniversary. In previous years (up until 2018) I have held a little celebratory giveaway of finished animals, but the last few years I’ve been so busy with writing patterns that I’ve not actually managed to fully finish many animals (I’ll show you my rather large collection of unfinished ones another time).

To be honest I have deeply missed the joy of just making, because knitting samples for pattern development and step-by-step photos simply does not hold the same peaceful and relaxing pleasure. At heart I am a maker and making these two animals has given me the most knitting pleasure that I’ve felt for quite some time. I hope that they will also bring pleasure to their new owners, which brings me to announce a giveaway.

 

The Giveaway:

To win either this little black bear or grey rabbit all you need to do is leave a comment below.

You can write anything you like (just the word ‘enter’ is enough) but if you have time, I’d love to hear about something that has brought you some recent pleasure and enjoyment.

Your comment is automatically given a number and on Monday November 15th at 12 noon UK time I’ll close the post to further comments and use a random number generator to pick two numbers from all of the entries.

The first number picked will be the first prize winner who will get to choose between the two animal prizes and the second number picked will win the remaining animal.

 

Here’s a more detail description of the prizes:

The little black bear is knitted from Camarose Snefnug yarn in 7313 and comes with a pair of brown dungarees knitted from Krea deluxe organic cotton shade 53, a little cream blouse knitted in Krea deluxe organic cotton in shade 02, a light brown cardi knitted in hand dyed yarn from the Wool Barn, a scarf knitted in The Uncommon Thread Lush worsted yarn in ‘Belle Epoch’, a cream dress with knitted leaf design and two pairs of shoes; a light brown pair with eyelet detailing and a plain dark brown pair. The extra outfit will be packed in a little tin suitcase from Maileg.

The little grey bunny is knitted in 1 strand of Rowan Alpaca Classic in ‘feather grey melange’ held with 1 strand of Rowan Kidsilk haze and comes with a pair of brown dungarees knitted from Krea deluxe organic cotton in shade 53, a little cream blouse knitted in Krea deluxe organic cotton in shade 02, a light brown cardi knitted in hand dyed yarn from the Wool Barn, a red scarf knitted in Rowan kidsilk haze in ‘ruby’, a brown dress with embroidered toadstools and two pairs of shoes; a red pair with eyelet detailing and a plain brown pair. The extra outfit will be packed in a little tin suitcase from Maileg.

Wooden toadstools, pinecones etc. are not included and are just used in the pictures as props.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

To recap: Leave a comment below to be in with a chance of winning one of these two animals and their assorted clothing (giveaway is now closed). Giveaway closes at 12 noon on Monday 15th November.

Please can I ask, only one comment per person, thanks J x

Thank you for being so generous with your time and your talent! As I write this, the sun is shining brightly on a very frosty morning. I have my daughter’s dog, Miss Molly, to keep me company today and my favourite local radio station playing in the background. My joy comes from counting the many blessings I have in my life right now. I wish you much joy in return.

  83. Just seeing your little rabbit floods my memory. When I was very young, maybe 3 years old. I couldn’t wait to open my Christmas present. I tore a hole in the wrapping and spiked a white cotton terry cloth bunny. I can still picture it in my mind’s eye. I remember the thrill I felt seeing that bunny. I had it wife many years until it literally fell apart after many repairs. I don’t honestly remember our final days together but I have many joyful memories hugging her and dragging her with me everywhere we went. Thank you for the wonderful reminder of happy times long past.

I want to thank you for these past patterns and for those that I knit in the future, because I have treasured the making of these little beauties and the children I gave them to have loved them and saved them to pass on. Thanks so much!!

As for recent joy, the positive reaction of a friend of mine on the stuffed animal I made for her birthday was so rewarding. Also being able to allow myself to read a series of books instead of ‘doing something productive’ has been so nice.
    I hope you will also be able to enjoy knitting, walking and your family for many years to come.

  231. I bought my first bunny pattern in September 2013, and have knitted 100’s of bunnies and other animals. I used to find the greatest pleasure in just giving them away for free to random toddlers in supermarkets or on the street. In the last few years a shop in my small town has asked met to knit animals for sale, which I did, BUT … it just did not give me any joy. To the point that I haven’t knitted any for months. Your blog post has just inspired met to start knitting for free again – it’s the best feeling to see those little eyes light up when I give a child an unexpected gift. Thank you for your precious patterns!

So, I created a facebook photo album of mushroom photos and have been uploading photos for her. I’m hoping to nurture her love of all aspects of nature, starting with mushrooms!

My husband and I both celebrated our 60th birthdays this year, so we took our three children, their spouses and our two little granddaughters to Disney World for almost a week in October. It was such fun! To see Disney through the eyes of the littles was amazing, they were enthralled with everything even though they had been there before. We were in a two bedroom condo with them and their parents and it was worth every penny we spent to enjoy the wake up snuggles in bed, holding their hands walking through the parks, carrying them when they got tired and didn’t want to ride in the stroller and just spending so much time with them. I didn’t even mind when I came home with covid (even vaccinated!) because it was such a good time…and fortunately only my husband and I got it!

    I came across your work a few years ago and knew I wanted to make one of these delightful creatures. However, I only made the start in my learning during the lockdown – I can now knit stockinette and have made a simple jumper for my grandson and am just about to start my first hat, knitting in the round. But seeing your lovely knitted characters is what gave me the impetus to learn as I wanted to knit one (at least) for my grandson! Thank you so much for the inspiration – I get a lot of joy from knitting. Here’s to many more years!

    Now, more than ever ( because of pandemics) I feel grateful for the little moments I have with my friend Moni and her children. Their love of Nature and all that she shares with them. This time they were doing some bracelets with tiny apples and hazelnuts for the animals in the garden. And with tea we had some biscuits cut as leaves. And when she changes the decoration of the house, Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter, Christmas,….I love to receive in my WhatsApp the photos that she shares with me.
    And it was her that years ago called my attention to your blog. Then, maybe 15 years ago 🧡

  455. Hello Julie
    What a kind and generous gesture of yours to give away two of your beautiful creations, thank you so much from all of us who truly love your patterns. It reminded me that my granddaughter sent me a photo of a knitted poppy tonight. She had been walking her (teething) baby and bumped into a ‘lovely lady with a tote bag filled to the brim with knitted poppies that she and other crafter friends locally had made and she was ‘planting’ them with a little note asking people if they found one to kindly make a donation to the Royal British Legion if they could, but no pressure to do so’ lest we forget…… We both thought that was such an altruism touching and beautiful thing to do and it so reminded me of what you give to us all, such pleasure. I hope I don’t sound as if I am ‘gushing’ just so grateful that we all have this wonderful ability in us to make and to give, it is a gift which hopefully, brings joy and pleasure and sometimes comfort to others, good luck and love and best wishes to you all x

Now that the season is changing I am blending and spinning the fiber, trying to teach myself about color. I feel like a kid who has just gotten a brand new super big box of crayons to play with. Maybe next year I can find mushrooms like the ones on the dress and learn to dye with them.

  787. I have 2 favorite artist/designers. One is you, Julie, and the other is Shelly from Gingermelon.
    Having had my own miniature bear company for years led me to search for other artists. You two have the most appeal to me.
    I finally accomplished one goal of having a piece of Shelly’s artwork, and it brings me constant joy.
    The only thing left is to somehow win an auction of yours, Julie, so that I can hold in my hands the prototype of what I have strived over the years, to create myself.
    I am 72 now, the eyes are going, the hands are going, my needles keep slipping out of my grip….but I have every pattern you have created except the badger, and even though I have the wonderful dog pattern, I have not had the impetus to pick up my needles.
    I thought this day would never come.

I haven’t knit one myself yet, but when I started knitting about 10 years ago I made quite a few knitted toys and always enjoyed making them. This year I have been knitting a pair of socks a month which has given my knitting focus and I’ve enjoyed it, next year I’m going to knit some toys. My youngest child is 10 but she still absolutely loves cuddly toys and she treasures the toys I have made for her so I need to make some more. I doubt very much that I would be lucky enough to won your give away but if I did I would be keeping the bunny or the bear for myself, but I might let her play with them gently every now and again! Things that have bought me joy lately, well I guess, mince pies are on sale and they always make me happy, and spending time with family, which we have done a bit more of lately, finally.

    Little comments and acts from my grandchildren have brought me so much pleasure and enjoyment. The eldest, aged 6, making pop pops a get well card as he’d had a health scare resulting in a hospital visit. She wasn’t prompted at all and only asked for a stamp so that it could be posted. Her younger sister, aged 4, who isn’t a fan of kisses, giving an impromptu kiss and hug, not related to the health scare. That really melted my heart. The youngest, aged 2, looking in absolute amazement when we visited playgroup yesterday. He’d assisted with the clean up, a role he takes very seriously, and had sat for singing. Suddenly a song came on, they use their phone to play songs for us to sing along with, the song was Hot Potato. His face was a picture when he exclaimed “hot potato!” with a look of pure astonishment. We chuckled about it when we left and recalled the moment with his dad. It’s made me chuckle just reliving the moment here.

It’s also a nice place to feed them on rainy days. I enjoyed it so much I put clear plastic shower curtain liners around it except where the door is. It keeps out the chilly wind and blowing rain pretty good so I can continue to use it on mild days even if it rains. I wish I could have a real gazebo built but this is the next best thing. I love your designs and while I can do basic knitting, I have trouble trying to do anything like you do but I love to see what you come up with next. Thanks for sharing

This summer there was a bunny that came almost daily and laid down under a bush right outside my window so I could watch it from above. It would stretch out and sun itself, or use the bush as protection from the rain. It felt like a daily Christmas gift. 🙂

There is nothing more pleasurable than that. For me it’s been the latest blanket I e been working on. As it happens, it is a pattern, but for probably the first time ever I have all the pattern details worked out, written up and tested before I started work on my ‘official’ final version. Which means that I haven’t had to think of any of those other details while I make this, it is purely now the joy of making it I can enjoy and I haven’t had that for a while now. It feels good!

    My baby girl was born 3 months ago. Besides the simple joy of all the new things a baby brings into one’s life, I’ve also had another joy in it all. You see, a few years back my grandmother passed away and I inherited a large box of ribbon from her sewing collection. At the time, I wasn’t sure how I would use it. But, now with this baby girl who wears my grandmother’s name, I’ve been creating and sewing things for her. I feel like each thing made with my grandmother’s ribbon are gifts from my grandmother to her. Each time I open the box to sew something new, the smell of my grandmother’s house and the memories of her love flood back to my heart and mind.

I get kisses not spits the babies (crea) are slower to come close but eventually they do. It is the most beautiful experiences I have had.
    I looked after another alpaca whom demanded a strawberry 🍓 for me to enter her yard where I went to bottle feed two baby goats 🐐 the kids. While I hold the two bottles that stunning alpaca 🦙 nuzzles my hair. It is such a heart warming experience I have never forgotten,
    I haven’t had the opportunity to spend time with a bear 🐻 something I may just pass on. Mother bear 🐻 would not be a happy lady me thinks.
    I have spent my 69th and 70th birthday 🎂 in lockdown so I feel I am still 68!

  1396. Paying It Forward to someone you may never meet but that is true giving. Funny how many Makers do what you do. I was a recipient one a few occasions while I was fighting Breast Cancer and the double mastectomy and chemotherapy and radiation and during that time I received lovely gifts from people I had never met but were my FB buddies. I will never forget them and I know how humbling it is to receive but do it with humility and be forever grateful. My family were also affected by the kindness of words and deeds which taught them about giving. My granson at 9’had some picket money and went into a store and bought an ice cream and a bottle juice for someone doing it hard. He told me ages later what he had done. I said I was so proud of him he then said well you do it a lot granma so I thought I would too. If he sees someone with a dog he buys that furry friend a meat patty. Never money he says he wants them to eat healthy and not buy booze or drugs. The Apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. My granson is on the Autism Spectrum and so is his older brother just on another spectrum (sadly). but he blows me out of the water so many times too.

I think playtime is just as important for us grownups as it is for children. Thanks for so much inspiration ❤

    Nowadays I find myself with no time to knit/crochet/sew/craft of any sort due to a series of unwelcomed family upsets and the addition of a baby, mindful hobbies such as knitting have been put to one side and therefore a lovely bunny for my baby boy would be just lovely.
    I would love to find the time and have the skill to create patterns like yours. Truly lovely and tastefully designed.

I must say, looking at your animals never fails to make me smile. I adore them, and your eponymous little cotton rabbit will always be my favorite, despite stiff competition. I guess my year-long joy is to have my adult son move back to our neighborhood, having lived far away for eleven years. So, dinner and game night is the highlight of my week. I’m eternally grateful for his patience with me as he teaches me new games, and new levels of difficulty. It is fun to play. His return has pulled me out of the doldrums and inspired me to do a long delayed major clearing out of storage areas. While not fun, at all, it is satisfying in its own way. Much of the time I’m outdoors I keep an ear cocked for bird calls and watch the surprising variety of wildlife scamper around the yard. I understand your sorrow at losing your friendly fox, and always enjoy your photos. I take lots of photos while I’m puttering around the yard working. The pandemic has made me much more thankful for our yard (garden). Thanks so much for sharing your creativity with us, and your very tender stories of home life.

Dear Julie, thank you so much for your creations, for your creativity, for your generosity, for your openness on this blog, for being a source of joy and inspiration to many a reader, and for the time and love you put in everything you do. As for something that gave me joy recently: as always in November, these days I started making a lot of hot chocolade for my family. It’s such a simple pleasure, but its annual reappearance in our home in late autumn gives me so much comfort and joy you can’t imagine. Slowly warming up milk, chopping dark chocolate, adding cacao powder, vigorously mixing it all in the pan with a whisk, and then pouring the deliciously smelling drink into cups and serving them to the loved ones… such a delight!

I try to make her something soft and pretty to hug, eventhough my first trial had lots of mistake (making doll is not the easiest thing for a beginner in knitting 🙈), but she loves the bunny so much. I look forward to knit more of your patterns. Thanks for helping us making the cutest bunny ever 🙂

  1892. (I apologize Julie if this is a duplicate! I had tried to post it on 11/09/21 and it seemed to dislike me & my post. 😦
    About 3 years ago, maybe a little more, I discovered your site Julie and I fell in love! It began simply enough with your blog’s title, I needed to know more 🙂 I was just learning to crochet at the time in order to make a blanket for my granddaughter. I never had a living grandmother to teach me any of the fiber Crafts as I was the 4th daughter at the tail end of the baby-boomer era and all my grands had passed. Sorry I didn’t mean to go on & so very off topic 😉 I have a mind to learn knitting also but, until I do I can gaze wistfully at your bunnies online. Now if I were to win, I promise to offer a safe refuge to any of your lovely little creatures here in my den far across the pond. There are wild bunnies or cousins running about outside every spring that I love and your bunnies seem very familiar.
    Thank you Julie for sharing your life and art as you so willingly do
    Take care xo, Annie in Pa.
    PS: I will of course introduce any to my Granddaughter who is now 8 and very trustworthy.
    PSS: I am so sorry for the loss of your beautiful friend, I visited her often. Have you considered creating a fox in her memory?

We are past the prime week of leaf turning, and the colors are mostly golds and browns with bright spots of red leaves and berries and green holly trees. I don’t see bears, but there are rabbits, chipmunks, raccoons, possums, mice, snakes, deer, and signs of coyotes. And sometimes turtles come out if it is raining.

  2054. Dear Julie,
    I stumbled upon your designs a while ago, when i was searching for a pattern for a make for my little daughter. She is only 2 years old, but loves animals! Of course, she enjoys them in picture books. But even more she lights up when we have the chance to see them in nature. Tonight, when I put her to sleep, she pretended to snatch a little chick from a drawing in a book. Just because she liked it so much in the picture. She pretended to hold it and snuggled it underneath her blanked. We told the imaginary chick-friend all the things that happened today, and in the end my daughter fell asleep when I sang her favourite song. This was a very special moment for me today – and a special enjoyment I’d like to share. 🙂
    I’d be happy to enter your giveaway, since I adore your makes and creative ideas!
    Warm regards from Germany
    Juliana

  2064. Julie, your patterns have brought so much pleasure to me and to many people who have received a little cotton rabbit since I started knitting them at the beginnning of the lockdown here last year. They have travelled all over the world from New Zealand, and I am now doing one each as Christmas gifts for the staff who take care of one of my daughters and her flatmates in her residential support house. I often think of you and Toby, and pray that things are going well for you in the new situations ahead for you all.

I bet you would design some pretty spectacular Christmas stockings if you felt like a change of pace. I would buy those in a quick minute.

As soon as I get out there everything is put into perspective and worries seem to melt away. They soon come back when I get home, but that few hours out in nature makes you realise that we require very little in terms of material things to feel hapoy, as long as we’ve got needles, wool and your knitting patterns of course.
