Anniversary give-away no. 1

Julie (little Cotton Rabbits)

 

Hello, I hope that your new year has got off to a good start. Toby has started back at college and so I’m just beginning to find my feet after the Christmas break. I am trying to ignore all of the household chores that have built up and instead have spent my morning photographing bears and mice – a much nicer use of time in my opinion.

As I mentioned in the previous post 2023 is a big anniversary year for the Little Cotton Rabbits and me, being 20 years since I started making them and 10 years since I wrote up the bunny patterns. To celebrate I am planning a series of give-aways across this year and this is the first of them.

Free Patterns giveaway…

This giveaway will be for 10 people to win free copies of all of the new ‘Little Cotton Rabbit’ patterns that I produce in 2023 (I’m hoping for at least 5 new patterns). As always I’ll use a random number generator to pick the 10 winners, so to be in with a chance of winning one of these 10 prizes please just leave a comment below, you can simply write enter, or if you have time to spare tell me about something that you are looking forward to this year.

Important note: Only comments left on this post will be counted in the draw. I’m not able to add in comments sent by email, left on a blog reading service or on any location other than this post on my blog. Can I also please ask that you only post once in the draw in order to give everyone a fair and equal chance. Thanks for your kind understanding of these conditions of entry in this free prize draw.

I’ll draw the 10 winners on Monday January 9th 2023 which will be just before the release of the 3 new patterns that I’ve been working on. I’ll be back next week with full details of those.

Enjoy the tail end of your week and thanks as always for dropping in to visit with me, J x

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Edited to add: Comments are now closed, 17.08 Monday January 9th

Here are the winners (I’ve now emailed the patterns, so if you are one of the winners and have not received your first 3 patterns please let me know) J x.

I am now officially obsessed with your little cotton rabbits! My 3 yr old granddaughter insisted on a pink bunny tail on her rabbit so I now ask her what other colours she wants in the dresses. Truly custom made rabbits (though the answer is mostly pink) I have 7 other grandchildren under 6 and they all want one so I am knitting at every opportunity!

I’m rapidly running out of room, but did enjoy my mum’s delight in receiving a bunny for Christmas. She has dementia, and it’s not left her side. Every time I see her she asks ‘Did you knit this?’ Thank you for the absolute joy they give me in making them, and to those I’ve gifted them to. Long may it continue. And as I typed this, the postman came with more yarn lol 🙂 Good timing!

    Julie – what an amazing feat! In your 10 years since writing the bunny pattern, you have influenced and inspired so many people! Just my experience – I never thought I could knit a cute animal, but a friend suggested your bunny pattern in 2017 and after having success with my first bunny, I was hooked. So many people have enjoyed what you have shared with us. I think your patterns set the bar high for other designers too.
    Thank you, Julie! And congratulations!

I discovered them around 8 years ago when I worked with a friend to hand dye yarns for a bunny and an elephant for my daughter, born after having had three miscarriages. Since then, I have added two more bunnies to the collection and my daughter squeals over the cuteness of the rest of your patterns, so I am sure more delights will ensue in oncoming years.

I feel like I learn something new and set aside these little animals bring me so much joy creating them!! I dont even know how many I have made….I have lost count.

  302. I adore your work! I am learning to knit- my goal is to becoming a better knitter- one of my 2023 resolutions. I learned to crochet with my grandmother when I was little in the 1970’s. Unfortunately she passed and I moved on with college, marriage, kids and now I am enjoying my life with my husband who just retired. Two years ago I was in an unfortunate accident, ripped both tendons in my elbows from a nasty fall with my dog. Ended having two surgeries- 6 months apart in each elbow. Recovered well, had physical therapy. I am forever grateful to the therapist who introduced me a crochet hook and taught me to crochet. Yes, crocheting does help and improved my elbows! Crocheted a lot of adorable mouses and bunnies. My therapist taught me how to read patterns. This is how I found this Little Cotton and I was in love! I love your work. Also, it is very nice to see others giving you beautiful comments. oxox

I saw LCR several years ago when I was trying to learn to knit and thought it had to be way too complicated for me. A couple years a go I saw LCR again and thought I’d give it a try and now I’m addicted! The best thing is hearing about my friends grandson who won’t sleep without his bear, or my friend’s sons who take their bears everywhere and even dress them up with a cape as super heroes, or my other friends daughter who is keeping the bunny I made for her baby as an heirloom. What a special thing to bring such joy. Thanks for giving that to me😊

  724. Hi Julie. Always lovely to read your blog and see your adorable critters. I’m trying to remember when I first found you, but I was drawn to your photos; I was certain you were a graphic designer as am I. I learned to knit when I worked for the library where I worked p/t as a designer. I used an image of your bunnies on a bookmark (I wrote and asked for permission!) During Covid my husband was diagnosed with prostate cancer and Parkinson’s. It’s been difficult, but when I read about your challenges I am reminded that we all have stones in our shoes. I try to practice gratitude and most days I’m not very successful. Wishing you grace. Fondly, Lydia

Any and all of your patterns bring me such joy. A smaller version is in my queue now that all 10 grandchildren have at least one original sized animal. Now… which one to pick. Happy New Year.

One of my granddaughters loves running through the house with 2 bunnies (her’s and her sister’s) in her mother’s childhood little tykes pink buggy. She always places the bunnies face down and carefully covers each with a new clean dishcloth. She’s very particular that the dishcloth be nice and flat over the bunnies. She also puts them on the sofa, face down again, covered with a cloth and says ‘shhh, bunnies sleeping.” The bunnies have brought this little 2 year old girl and me a lot of joy. I’ve also made various dresses for the bunnies which I’m sure as the grands age, they’ll be able to change their bunnies clothes.

My daughter is 5 yrs old (and has quite a few LCR critters herself) and gets invited to a lot of birthday parties – so I’ve been knitting up a stash of critters and clothes for birthday gifts! I enjoy the patterns THAT much! 🙂
    I’m looking forward to just creating and making for fun and using up my stash this year!

  1398. Hello.
    I bought 2 patterns from you in 2015 and I absolutely love them. Have enjoyed them so much. But Unfortunately, when I bought in 2015, my credit card was also hacked, so unfortunately I haven’t dared to buy abroad since I’m from Denmark. So I would love to win any of your patterns. Kind regards, Randi Ørgaard

    I have knitted since I was about nine years old. I finished knitting my first cardigan when I was in the Infants – juniors. I have been retired now for nearly 12 years and I still love to knit. If I am sitting, I am knitting.
    Since knitting my first Little Cotton Rabbit, I don’t knit anything else apart from the knitting patterns you sell. They are a delight to knit and they are not too heavy on the hands either, which is good for me.
    Looking forward to your future knitting patterns. Keep up your good work.
    Best wishes,
    Eva xxx.

I hope to get to that soon, altough I also have many other knitting, as well as quilting projects on the go. But, a hobby is meant to be enjoyed, right? The fun, relaxation or challenge is at least as important as the product, for me.

  2042. I have so enjoyed your site for many years. I started to read blogs in 2011 after a huge chest surgery. I couldn’t knit for 6 weeks so our Daughter set me up with a blog feed and my first I-pad…. and what to read ? Knitting. Your writing and photography had me from the start. You share from the heart. I love all the Fox posts too! I am looking forward to continued knitting ( sidelined was not easy for me so I am so grateful for my hands and sound mind to create). The tiny treasures you knit are just so adorable. Thank you. Happy 10 years. Take care.
